Free tea and biscuits when you give blood.
(And before the deal police strike- I know, it's not really a deal- but can't hurt if it prompts just a few people to save a life?)

The best thing people can do to get freebies :smiley:. I for one are so grateful to be alive due to the fantastic people that have donated. Please keep going. If it wasn't for you my 2 boys wouldn't have a mummy. Best hot deal ever xx

My son has a blood condition and relies on transfusions every 4 weeks & will for the rest of his life unless a cure is found. I am forever grateful to the people that donate blood thank you

I was always very squeamish about needles then when my mum had leukemia she needed blood transfusions and said to me she hoped I give blood. I lied and said I did but eventually the guilt got to me. Now I give platelets so get even more club biscuits. I still don't watch when they stick the needle in but it's a dawdle now. So if I can get over my irrational fear and do then anyone can (and don't put yourself off by saying 'I can't. They won't take me'. The rules change and many that thought they couldn't donate now can do.

Me too. Was v. squeamish but plucked up courage to go with a colleague after an uncle had 2 emergency ops. and needed lots of blood. Told the staff I had a fear of needles etc .and sometimes fainted - were v. kind, took extra care with me.
Donated for 10 years or so, but had to stop after being diagnosed with a type of lymphoma. Now every time I see the consultant they draw blood. No longer 'afraid', but still don't like needles. Like you, I simply don't watch.
My son and daughter now donate blood :smiley:
Heat OP for raising the issue!

I got a T-shirt once... I'd put the wrong shirt on that day, a sweatshirt with tight cuffs that wouldn't slide up, so I slipped my arm out but it was a bit chilly - so they gave me a T-shirt to change into.
