Swag

Useful swag is something that is hard to come by. For me I prefer good quality notebooks, phone chargers and snacks, conference food sucks and you need things to munch on.
I thought the food was really good at SW this year. One thing over the two SpiceWorlds I've been to - they have ample food! I am beyond frustrated when you are somewhere and they run out of food. I hate rushing the line, rather sit back, relax and hit the food after the line has died down, but usually this causes me to get scraps or in some cases, nothing at all.
Someone else pointed out to me, they liked to hit the vendors when the food started. Most people would be in line for food, and this person would head to the vendors to get some one on one time.
So to sum it up - have plenty of food.

What @Dashrender said in the first post, plus for prizes amazon gift cards

I only wear them at conventions, but lanywards with a bottle opener in them. I have several where there is a release clip near the end, and buckle portion is a bottle opener. Though wouldn't be very useful when going to a bar.

Call me simple minded, but I prefer good bottle/can koozies!
How many of those can you need? I know very few people who use them and no one that isn't flush with them, drawers full of them. It's a great idea for people in hot locations but being from the north they aren't used there in any quantity and in the south people just throw them out left and right. That's my experience, anyway.

I must be a rare bird then.
It is not uncommon for us to have 20 - 30 people over for a movie night, game party, or what have you once or twice a month. Every drink has a koozie on it including soda. I used to collect lanyards but my wife thinks the koozies are more practical. -

I think it is a western PA thing everyone I know from that area has to have a koozie on their beverage.

But everyone in TX that I know already has more than they have things to put them on
I think that they are a great idea, just only expect half the people to have any interest. But those that do, they are cheap and effective.

Yeah we don't normally use koozies here in the midwest much either.

I think that small, LED flashlights are always popular. They are useful for most people and nearly all kids love them too and they tend to be affordable, small and reusable. I know that they are always a hit around here.
-
Things like that were cool when I had a young child but for those of us that don't now I have to many of them
-
Too many flashlights? That seems impossible. I like to keep them in the car, in different rooms and drawers, have a backup, hang one in the server room, etc. Useful to have different sizes and types for different things.
StorageCraft had a nice, blue, aluminum one this year, we liked those. The kids are always happy to get new ones.
-
I get swag from Vendors all the time. I must have about 20 of those storagecraft ones and about 5 of they Symantec ones from a few years ago. That doesn't count all the other ones we get. Each car as 2, the server area has a couple each bedroom , bathroom, desk etc.
-
I'll take any extra flash lights you want to give away - I never seem to be able to find one.
-
You are on! Sending some your way!
