Cool spirit items!

[BX MARK]

Hey guys I was just wondering what spirit item(s) you guys think are the coolest!
My personal favorite is 217's lanyard's and rubber chickens

I think that the neatest thing I've ever gotten was a small doll pin that I received from a Chilean team in 2008. It's very nicely made, and I would not be surprised if it was made by a student.

Teams that give out lanyards are pretty awesome in my book, but there aren't a lot of them. 217's lanyards are really nice. I don't want to even think about how much it would cost to get them, though D: I also really like whatever bandannas I can pick up at competitions, but there aren't a lot of teams who give those out because of the high cost (like us). Gel bracelets (there's probably a more proper name for them, but I don't know it - think Livestrong bracelets) are nice too.

Not to mention all of the really cool pins that almost all teams give out. As simple as they are, those little pieces of metal and paper are cool in large quantities, are easy to wear/display, and they're so much fun to collect.

T-Shirts. Rare, coveted, tradeable...

The B.O.B. shop towels are my personal favorite, but I also like the POP rivet sets Gaelhawks gave out in 03 or 04, a first real first AID kit we got from a Johnson and Johnson team, a hand broom and dust pan set we always travel with now.

In general I like useful items that aren't just paper or clutter, but I've been a proponent of eliminating that type of waste for several years.

BTW We gave out Sharpies with our team logo back in 2004 and that is still my favorite item my team has ever done, and is also probably the last one we did.

The coolest thing my team has ever done is probably our ductape bracelets from this year...

I liked our little vials of simulated moon dust from 2009. I also liked the bandanna that 1816 gave out in 2009.
