There is an exciting new way to get samples delivered right to your door from the United States Postal Service! 
They are looking for people with certain demographics to participate in this showcase, so not everyone will qualify. Go here to see if you qualify!

Here is the details of the program:
The “Sample Showcase,” to be distributed nationally on a limited basis , is a box of assorted beauty, health and snack food items from multiple consumer packaged goods companies. The boxes will be branded with the Postal Service logo and include the tagline, “A selection of free product samples.”
Another strategy behind the pilot test is making sure that direct mail is the sampling method of choice. The co-op box concept, which allows candy bars to be marketed with skin lotions, for example, is expected to make direct mail sampling more attractive because it allows multiple manufacturers to share in the marketing and postage costs of the program.
(thanks so much for all the info, For the Mommas!)
