Last year, PR firm Porter Novelli gave away nail files at SXSW. Here’s what they looked like:


Nifty Kit from Underabuck

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

I really love promotional products. A few weeks ago, Underabuck.com, a promotional products company that sells cheap stuff, sent me this sweet bag filled with goodies (mints, a removable tattoo, a balloon, and a pencil):

Very cool. Thanks!

Crumpler Toilet Paper

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I like Crumpler bags. I have a handful (okay, they’re a bit larger than that) of bags — my favorite “purse” is the Crumpler Maurice.

At SXSW, Crumpler maintained a booth and handed out toilet paper. Get it?

As you can tell from the picture, it’s a “coloring book” type of toilet paper. The options are “brown, brown, brown, brown, and brown.”

I think it’s cute, but I like the Charmin toilet paper better.

Promopeddler’s Great Promotional Schwag

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

After receiving a great package from promotional product guys Promopeddler, they decided to send some more awesome stuff, especially for the tech geek and desk toys girl in me. That’s perfect — it’s what I look for in a match. 😉

First, here’s this magnetic window tin with paperclips, pushpins, thumb tacks, and binder clips (with a slight variation), which just so happens to be PERFECT since I have a steel computer case and have put it right on the side of it! Plus, the office supplies are awesome.

And here’s an awesome USB powered fish tank. The aquarium is so cool:

Here is a binoculars and compass combo:

And a cool desk game called Corporate Ladder:

Also, they sent a fun maze puzzle.

And a bungee flying rocket.

I also love the decision dice:

Also, a cool pen was mailed:

A personalized baseball cap:

And a set of pick-up sticks!

Thanks guys!
