Google Dance 2008 T-Shirt

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

Last year, I didn’t attend SES San Jose. I had moved to a new residence two weeks afterward and didn’t get to make it. Therefore, Avi hooked me up with the much awesome Google Dance t-shirt.

Rumor has it that there’s no Google Dance 2009 this year, so I guess I won’t be too disappointed that I’m with a new baby and can’t fly out!

BIG Promotions: BIG Schwag Bag

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

The biggest schwag package I have received to date most certainly comes from Big Promotions, a branded promotional items shop. I don’t even know if I can describe all of this stuff in the photos that follow, but I’ll most certainly try.

First, I’m going to start off by showing you the multiple varieties of branded boxes of mints. Seriously, I had no idea there were so many ways to go about this.






(who knew real estate agents gave out mints? It’s a great idea!)

mmmm, WSOP!




The prescription mint? A great idea, except for this part.

My favorite:

Then there’s custom lip balm. I like lip gloss.


And the promotional hand sanitizer:

And the measuring tape:

And binder clips:

which come in this box:

Can we say cups? The stadium cups, oh my!


Now with Video!

(Check out these cups!)
The outside:

and the inside:

And another one:

and the inside of that one:

Or fun glasses-type cups:



Or squirt bottles (with straws?)

Or lanyards?

Or branded dry erase boards?



How about door hangers and bookmarks and magnets? There are business card magnets, double business cards, 4×7 promotional magnets, and more.


Regular and sticky notepads are there too.

And a cool thermos:

And a bag:

And a few t-shirts:


And a branded cooler bag (or is it an insulated cooler?):

Thanks Rich!

MyBulby.com Stuffed Light

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Now that I have a son, this MyBulby stuffed animal light thing is going to be useful — of course, not right now as he’s a newborn — but in due time.


Just in case you wanted to know, he was due to be born only yesterday. Yes, he came 6 weeks early. I think it had something to do with wanting schwag.
