The Super Tootle Flute 1970
Now, here's a free gift I remember very well. In March 1970 (issue) 738 the Beezer Tootle Flute marked a change from a blue background title logo to a white one. New characters 'Tommys Tick Tock Twin' and 'Mighty Mik' replaced 'General Jim' and 'Hocus Pocus'
I am sure that there was a short television commercial advertising this free gift with an an animation of Ginger playing the tootle flute. Anyone else out there remember?
Balloon with stick-on funny faces 1970
A hugely disappointing free gift came one week later with these uncharming images that you were meant to stick onto a balloon. Funny faces? Not really. I remember feeling very cheated by this.

I definately got these 1970 free gifts, Simon: it's the 'stick-on' funny-face balloon I remember the most; I think there was glasses and eyeballs that were peeled from a flat, vinyl-like sheet: at the time, I honestly thought that this novelty was OK!
A very memorable free gift came from 'TOPPER' [possibly in Winter 68-'69]: this was a pack of small transparent celluloid sheets, that were used to put together funny faces.....one of the most memorable-ever free gifts of this era, to me at last...
cheers, RAB.
