I made my very first purchase from Grove Collaborative back in June 2016, which included my very first Grove Collaborative free gift. Since then, I’ve made more than 26 purchases from Grove Collaborative, spending over $400. Certainly enough to prove my genuine love of Grove Collaborative! And yet also a completely reasonable amount of money to spend on household supplies over 4 years.
Note: I am part of Grove Collaborative’s affiliate program. This post contains affiliate links. I’ve also received some free products to review over the last year. However, I am truly a fan of Grove Collaborative! All opinions are my own.
There’s a good chance you’re reading this blog post because you want to learn more about earning a Grove Collaborative free gift. It almost seems like a scam! However, I can tell you that I absolutely earned a free gift with my first order from Grove Collaborative. I’ve also earned free gifts as a VIP member of Grove Collaborative. Plus you can earn a free gift as an existing customer if you place a minimum order.

Free Gift for New Customers of Grove Collaborative
The best way to earn a free gift is to be a new customer! So yes, this gift only comes once. Still, it’s a great introduction to Grove Collaborative.
New Customer Free Gift Options
You can actually choose your free gift as a new customer. Grove Collaborative is currently offering the following free gift bundles with your first purchase of $30 or more. You can only choose one free gift, so choose wisely! Gift set values are based on current prices listed on the Grove Collaborative website.
Mrs. Meyer’s Gift Set
You can actually earn this Grove Collaborative free gift with a minimum purchase of $20. This gift set includes the following:
- Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap
- Mrs. Meyer’s Dish Soap
- Grove Co. Matte Cleaning Caddy
- Mrs. Meyer’s Multi-Surface Spray
- Grove Walnut Scrubber Sponges
- Free Shipping & VIP Trial
Right now, Grove Collaborative offers multiple Mrs. Meyer’s seasonal scents. I recently switched my dish soap from Pumpkin to Orange Clove! In my downstairs bathroom, I swapped out the Grove gel soap I usually use for Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap in Snowdrop.
I really like Mrs. Meyer’s products, but in terms of value, this free gift isn’t the best. You can buy all of these products from Grove for just over $30, and half of that is for just the cleaning caddy. I personally love the Grove Co. Cleaning Caddy (I own four of them), but it’s not ideal for everyone.
Personal Care Gift Set
This gift set includes the following:
- Yes To Brightening Facial Wipes
- Yes To Glow-Boosting Mask Stick
- Yes To Charcoal Detoxifying Paper Mask
- Grove Loofah
- Grove Konjac Sponge
- Grove Hydrating Bar Soap
- Free Shipping & VIP Trial
The Grove Loofah is the only one of these products I’ve tried for myself. I like that it’s made from recycled plastic. Otherwise, it’s just a standard loofah that holds up well and gets the job done.
This gift set is valued at over $30.
Grove Collaborative Gift Set
This gift set includes the following:
- Grove Collaborative’s All Purpose Cleaner Concentrate
- Grove Collaborative’s Glass Spray Bottle
- Seedling by Grove Bath Tissue (3 Packs of 4 Rolls)
- Seedling by Grove Paper Towels (2 Packs of 2 Rolls)
- Seedling by Grove Facial Tissue (2 Boxes)
- Seedling by Grove Pocket Tissues (1 Set of 8)
- Free Shipping & VIP Trial
Earlier this year, Grove Collaborative sent me a pack of the Seedling Bath Tissue and a pack of the Seedling Paper Towels to try out for myself. If you’re looking for tree-free paper products, try out Seedling. The new and improved toilet paper is reasonably soft (says the woman with Crohn’s Disease) and surprisingly strong. (The initial version was not that strong, but Grove revamped it). The paper towels are reasonably absorbent and strong.
This gift set is valued at over $40.
Rooted Beauty Purifying Skincare Set
This gift set includes the following:
- Rooted Beauty Purifying Facial Cleanser
- Rooted Beauty Purifying Daily Moisturizer
- Rooted Beauty Purifying Facial Towelettes
- Grove Konjac Sponge
- Grove Hydrating Bar Soap
- Free Shipping & VIP Trial
I have not used any of these products myself. This gift set is valued at over $40.
Baby Gift Set
This gift set includes the following:
- Babyganics Bubble Bath
- Burt’s Bees Nourishing Baby Oil
- Grove Co. Hydrating Bar Soap
- WaterWipes Pure Water Wipes
- Free Shipping & VIP Trial
I have not used any of these products myself. I cannot find WaterWipes on the website, but the rest of the gift set is valued at over $20.
How to Spend $30 at Grove Collaborative
Before you can earn your free gift, you first need to spend $30 or more at Grove Collaborative. What’s the best way to do that? I’ve put together a few bundle ideas of the best ways to spend $30 to $40 at Grove Collaborative!
Mrs. Meyer’s Bundle
While the Mrs. Meyer’s gift set isn’t that great, you can easily spend $30 on Mrs. Meyer’s products and then choose another free gift! These are a few of my favorites:
- hand soap
- gel hand soap refill
- hand lotion
- dish soap
- multi-surface cleaner
- surface scrub
One of each of these products all combined will cost about $30 at current prices. Get an extra hand lotion for dry winter skin, and you’ll definitely spend the minimum $30 to earn a free gift.
Ultimate Sink Side Cleaning Kit
I own every single thing included in the Ultimate Sink Side Cleaning Kit. This bundle is a great deal at $41.95, with a savings of 26% over purchasing each item individually. Currently this bundle is out-of-stock, but you can sign up to be notified when it’s available again.
I use everything except for the Glass Dish Soap Dispenser. I have used the Gel Dish Soap before, but I’m currently using Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap. The Glass Dish Soap Dispenser is really nice, but I previously used a built-in dispenser in my sink for the Gel Dish Soap. Now that I’m enjoying seasonal scents by Mrs. Meyer’s, I just use the bottle.
- Gel Dish Soap*
- Glass Dish Soap Dispenser*
- Stoneware Tray**
- Sink Caddy
- Dish Brush with Replaceable Head
- Walnut Scrubber Sponge, Set of 2
*I received these products to review. **This was a free gift as VIP member of Grove.
Seventh Generation Cleaning Products
I buy exactly two products from Seventh Generation:
I love these two products. I’ve used them exclusively to clean my toilets and run my dishwasher for the last four years. Two 45-count of dishwasher detergent packs and two toilet cleaners will cost you just over $30.
Hand Soap Starter Set
I have both received this to review and purchased these products on my own. but This set comes with two products:
- Glass Hand Soap Dispenser
- Gel Hand Soap Pouch
While I’m using up Mrs. Meyer’s hand soaps with seasonal scents, I primarily use these Gel Soap Refills at all the sinks in my house. I’ve tried all of the regular scents: Free & Clear, Lavender & Thyme, and Lemon, Eucalyptus & Mint.
In the past I also splurged on the seasonal scent, Pomegranate & Red Currant, which I still LOVE. Last year’s seasonal scent (Autumn Fig) wasn’t that great, but I’m enjoying this year’s seasonal scent, Apple Spice.
You need to buy two of these sets to reach the $30 threshold. Or you can buy one set along with a few other suggested products.
Currently this set is out-of-stock, but here are some similar hand soap sets that might work for your household.
- Kids Foaming Hand Soap Starter Set
- The Handwashing Heroes Set
- Schooltime Suds Set
- Grove & Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap Refill Set
Grove Collaborative Free Gift for VIP Members

Free Gift with a Minimum Purchase from Grove Collaborative
With every Grove Collaborative order, you have the opportunity to earn a free gift with a minimum purchase. Right now, Grove Collaborative has changed its free gift policy to give customers the chance to choose their own free gift.
Right now, you have three choices of free gifts.
- Bamboo Prep Board (minimum $45)
- Reusable Snack Bags, Set of 2 (minimum $50)
- Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser (minimum $50)
Rarely have I spent enough money to earn a free gift. I just don’t need that many products in a single order–and I usually don’t even place an order every month.
You could choose to stock up with one big order, especially if the free gift is enticing.
I hope this blog post clears up any questions you might have about earning a free gift from Grove Collaborative! If you’re looking for more information about this subscription service, check out my extensive Grove Collaborative review.
