Best company swag you've received?

I have so many t-shirts and crappy water bottles from companies I've worked for... has anyone received really legit swag from their company?


Doesn't have to be super expensive (it can be I suppose) but something you find yourself using a lot.

Best swag I've ever seen was a gold Rolex with the Pizza Hut logo. 

coolest I’ve ever got was probably my Dreamforce backpack.

besides commission, and some gifts like early fit bit and some dope dakine bags, the best swag was the co. hooking my wife up with a digital designer job. after years in retail, bar tending, stand up comedy, and a number of quasi-sales/marketing roles she'd spent some time building up a portfolio. 

We went to the company chinese new year party (big red wouldn't let us do a christmas party) and she connected with one of the lead designers. The entry level role was a grind, and she started and had to announce a pregnancy two weeks later, and they rolled with it.  

2.5 years later and she's significantly increased her salary and opportunities. All credit to her skills, abilities and hustle, but a little networking and risk taking goes a long way.

I travel a lot so probably the most useful thing I've gotten was a custom Tumi bag with Bose QC Noise Cancelling headphones. About $1,000 worth of shit that makes each leg of travel noticeably nicer.

high capacity battery pack (for charging devices). Haven't worked there in 4yrs - in fact, I work for a competitor and I still use it all the time. I did tape over the logo to save face.

Like a cheap bluetooth speaker? I've gotten some as swag at conferences and they're always trash... or was this nice?

not the nicest I've ever seen, but pretty good.  Sound quality, probably 7/10, but volume 10/10

Yeti tumbler or wireless phone charger. Use them almost daily so definitely some of the better swag gifts received!

Nice. I keep my credit cards on the back of my phone so wireless charging doesn't work for me...

Coleman was a line I repped in a past life.   I got hooked up with a full tailgate/water sports kit.  Grill, coolers, tube, tow line, camping picnic table, the list goes on.  Still using all of it almost a decade later.

That’s amazing. Repping the gear and getting a great grill.

I got an LL Bean pullover this year that's pretty dope. Lightweight, logo is not too prominent on the left arm. Swag is kinda overrated. Gifts are where it's at. I will take a $200 amazon gc or a $500 airbnb gc over swag any day.

Does severance pay count? 

If not, then a bottle opener as it's actually useful.
