(Tamar Weinberg is a) Schwag Addict

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!

I really like pens that light up. Most of them have a simple light that just shines bright in a dark room. And in other cases, like for Business.com, there’s just a whole lot more to the pen:

I really like colorful lights. 🙂

On the topic of pens, that’s always something the old businessfolk seem to consider an absolute necessity. Since I do just about everything over the computer but occasionally sign receipts and the like, I like pens but they’re not as handy as they used to be. Regardless, some are aesthetically pleasing and others are just purely functional. When it comes to pens, you really can’t have too many. 🙂

One of the cooler pens that I own is the light-up pen that I have from Landing Page Optimization firm Widemile:

On a similar note, thanks to Ty Downing, I posted about an earlier light-up pen that actually has Google written all over it. Here’s the better picture (once again, for nostalgia’s sake):

At South by Southwest, I got yet another blue light-up pen (which is great, because blue is my favorite color). This one came from film production site SAGIndie:

Are these all the light-up pens that I have? Not even close. However, this is all I seem to have photographs of at the moment. There will be more!

In April, when I was out of town for the Passover holiday, the first Small Business Marketing Unleashed conference was held in Houston, TX. (The next one, by the way, is in September in Columbus, OH!)

Since I couldn’t make it, the kind people behind the scenes sent me some really awesome schwag.

There’s a really cool USB key from email marketing team Lyris HQ, a t-shirt and bag from website promotion service Search Influence, pens and a pad from payroll service, ADP, a sharpie from web marketing firm Sage Rock, a computer protector from business blog small business answers, silly putty from brainstorming site ideablob, and gum from yellow pages site SuperPages.

There was also a niftily designed bag from email marketing solutions site Emma.

Thank you Robert and Jen for sending this to me! 🙂
