(Tamar Weinberg is a) Schwag Addict

Ty Downing from Red VW Bus and Perspective Internet Marketing from North Carolina sent me a really nice piece of schwag that I didn’t get at SMX West. I guess you can’t be everywhere at once. My goal is to capture every piece of Google schwag that’s available though (are you listening?) 😉 (You too, John!)

The cool part about this is that it’s a rocket pen — when the lights are off and you turn the pen on, you get a cool red light.

And in the off position, it just looks super sweet.

Thanks, Ty, for this nice little present, and for the amazing followup. You’re too kind, and I really appreciate it!

Let’s talk about being practical for awhile longer. Check out these awesome Atlas aQuantive (Microsoft) moleskin notebooks:

Sweet stuff. Thanks to Avi Wilensky for getting them for me.

Arty Crooks is a designer and a cool one at that. A nice guy named Jason who represents them sent me and my husband a scarf and T-shirt, respectively, from the Arty Crooks store.

This was the packaging (which was enclosed in a Fedex envelope). Don’t you think that’s cool?

My husband, Brian, is madly in love with anything transit. Specifically, he likes trains. He has a huge website with over 15,000 subway photographs (and bus photos too) and he was happy to see this cool bus routes t-shirt.

I gots me a scarf that looks like this:

Very cool. Thanks Jason for the sweet stuff.

In early April, Blogger Social was held and united some of the most clever minds in the marketing industry. I was fortunate to have attended because I now have homework to read. 😉

They also had some cool shirt giveaways:

Online invoicing software Freshbooks handed out this cutesy tee:

The Ideablob community also provided good stuff.

The Bitchy Betty bitching website also handed out cool shirts!

You couldn’t go to NY without an I heart NY shirt, which came in a NY survival kit. 🙂

And there was also a hat:

Additionally, we got Amazon giftcards, a month’s subscription to Freshbooks, a gift certificate from MarketingProfs, a Beauty by the Foot pamphlet and ruler, and a moleskin notebook.
