Re: Best Event Giveaways

My list of favorites:
1. The stuffed koalas from a team from Australia (3132), I can't remember what team and I can't get the koala now because I stepped on it accidentally and it broke. RIP my little friend.
2.Boeing gave out those speakers that you can attach to things to make THOSE things into speakers to whoever, and selfie sticks to whoever would take a selfie and post it on social media with some hashtag, I would never buy a selfie stick, but I wasn't going to turn down a free one
3. Team 2783 had a smashed penny machine, I love smashed pennies, and it's a great idea for a giveaway, wither the person can supply their own pennies for whatever spare change they ended up getting, OR you leave out a small pile of pennies for people to use in the machine, either the giveaway costs you 0 or 1 cent per item
4. 1736 ROBOT CASSEROLE gave out stress toys shaped like little chef hats, I didn't really use it but it was nice enough to mention it.
5. Team 3238 gave out little packets of stuff for CPR preparedness like a mask, gloves,rubbing alcohol wipe, and instruction card.

And an honorable mention to 4525 for an FRC trading card game (which wasn't a giveaway you had to order it on their website and then they would give you it the next day at comp) and for having a button series I actually WANTED to collect all of the copies for.
