First, we had an actual nice lunch catered in. It was really good. But they gave out swag bags. Except it's not filled with swag from our company.
ANd not everyone got all of the same things in their bags. Some people got power banks, wireless chargers, tshirts, and badge clip reels (and that's just in the little group I sit with, who knows what other people got)
Because they gave us stuff that came off of tables from other companies at trade shows.
I got a tin of mints from a company that makes identification cards, two reusable straws (which is the only thing I'm excited about), a letter opener (because I mean, i get so much mail…), a mystery clip that the front comes off and is magnetic, but only to the mystery clip…
I got a notebook
two pens
a wallet sized multi tool
and a cloth frisbee that folds into a carry case.
The ONLY thing that's branded with the company logo is the weird frisbee thing. even the bags they gave us aren't branded.
A girl in my area won a drawing for a nice water bottle, but once you got up close to it…it scratched to all holy hell and is branded for a Hyatt Regency hotel.
I guess I'm at least glad the lunch was nice. These things aren't hardly good enough for stocking stuffers for family I don't like.
