(Tamar Weinberg is a) Schwag Addict

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!

Domain registrar and parking service Sedo.com had a big booth at the recent SES New York where I got the following cool stuff:

A water-bottle thermos thingy:

And mints:

Mmmmm!

People like handing out mints at trade shows. I suppose they think we all have bad breath. In any event, DoubleClick handed out its own packet of mints at SMX West.

A really nice person named Kristin on the Windows Live team sent me a sweet grab bag of totally awesome Microsoft goodies.

Included in the bunch:

• A Searchification 07 shirt
• A nice laptop bag
• A USB thumb drive
• Pens!
• A keychain thingy
• A passport holder
• A TSA-approved luggage lock
• 2 tins of mints
