CafeMom Oven Mitts 18th June, 2009
Now that I’m a new mother, I’m looking at resources and communities to learn more about this new job that I’ll have for the rest of my life. There are a lot of great communities but I don’t have to look much further than CafeMom, a community for mothers (and mothers-to-be).
They attended a Mashable event last year and I came home with a pretty sweet oven mitt, which is a unique piece of schwag — I’ve gotten my fair share of pens and cups and shirts, but how many people give out an oven mitt?!
It’s a great idea — except I hope that doesn’t lead some men to say that women belong in the kitchen!
(Guess what, guys — we’re taking care of your kids!)

I'm a fan of schwag -- always have been, always will be. I've decide, thus, to highlight that which I've received over the course of the last few years from trade shows and via snail mail. If you're looking for some nice publicity (or free reputation management) and want to make someone smile,
