As a gift from a company, which would you prefer?

Companies offer a lot of incentives to get us to pay attention to their products and buy their brands.  If you had a choice, would you prefer a $10 gift card or coupons for free products? 

And, as always, let us know why!

4-5 coupons for free products from brand name manufacturers (52.4%)

$10 gift card to spend anywhere (47.6%)

    Both are great. $10 you know where it can go; the free products you don't know if you will use. In today's economy, is it still being greedy to want both :P

    The only problem with coupons is that not all of the products are available and usually the products aren't something that I need. I'd rather be able to either get or take $10 off of something I want and will use.

    I prefer the $10 because I always run into issues with coupons expiring or not being with me when I need them!

    Coupons for free products is a great way to try new items that I might not normally purchase on my own.

    I like gift cards and free stuff. But right now I need $10.00.

    i guess this was either you get something that you need but within a small limit or get a bunch of stuffs for free with a chance that you don't need them and will end up as clutter
