The Best Swag You Ever (or Never) Got

Thought this might be an interesting topic to bring up. I'm always amazed at some of the really bad swag that people hand out at shows. Some of it reminds me of those plastic toys that people hand out at the carnival when you pick up the little ducks from the water. Some of it is really good.

What is the best swag you ever got at a show and why?

What kind of swag would you like to see companies starting to give out?

Thoughts?

Is swag another term for promo materials? Like those magnetic cc size address books or mints with company logo and contact into?

Yes. Or Epoch recently handed out neck pillows to use on planes. THAT was some cool swag! :)

Another great example would be the little flip-pads that NakedSword handed out a few years ago at Internext. I grabbed a whole stack of them, and still use them to this day to take notes on.

I use my Menonthenet.com back scratcher from the Gay Phoenix Forum everyday. Same thing with my Pridebucks mouse pad Christmas swag. Both are AWESOME, and come in handy...EVERYday.

LOL strange you should ask...

We went through all of our swag the other day and packed it up in to boxes because it was spread all over the place...

Sex hound t-shirts
Python leather jackets
BadPuppy license plates
Hi-Rise condoms
CE Boobs

Thats just some of the stuff we packed up, the 'usable' stuff like the PrideBucks never-ending lighters are all crammed in to a drawer in the kitchen where they get used all the time, just like all the TopBucks pens we have lol

Well it won't be my iBill T-shirt that's for sure. All of their swag got burned. Kind of went the way of their once cocky swagger... up in smoke.

What about fun, cool ideas for gay-specific swag? Can be within the realm of reality--or not. :)

My piss site gave away plastic test tubes filled with a yellow/green liquid with our branding on the side ... very cheap and were really well received

:)

I liked those shake-it-up flash lights.

I loved the Bar Fridge I got from Google Ad-Words. Google also gave me the coolest office thing.. it had a mini mouse, a USB reading light, a flash drive and a pad and pen.

I still wear my Gunz Blazing tank tops.

I also remember getting a Lava Lamp from an affiliate one year which I still have on my desk.

Some of my favorites:

Intense Cash - Business card holder

Epoch - 10 Year Anniversary Shirts, Notebooks

PrideBucks - Lighters, Ashtrays, Chapstick

I know there's more.....looking around my office

Um, EWWWWWWWW! :)

I am a coffee JUNKY sooo the EPOCH stainless steel coffee mug has been my most used swag... and it came in a great little black velvet drawstring bag that I now use in my bedroom to conceal all of my "naughty stuff" (ie condoms and lube)

LOL

One of my other favs was definately the keychain condom holder...


Sky

i didn't know there was an actual term for that
