I used the mouse pads from the convention in my hotel room. That was really useful as the table was made of glass and the mouse didn’t feel like working on it. I really liked Chipleader’s sports bag (I think it was from Amsterdam), PokerStar’s USB chip, everyone’s pens (I’ve got enough to write an encyclopedia). I also liked Bodog’s quality T shirts from previous conferences (they didn’t show up this time did they?)
Some trinkets I think would be great to have in future conventions:
– Coffee mugs (can’t have enough of those). They can even be collectibles if they are changed for each conference.
– Beer mugs
– Booze flasks (so you can drink on the WAY to the party too!)
– Toothpicks
– Bonbons, candy on sticks, chocolates, etc.
– Can coolers
– Lapel pins
– Shopping vouchers
– Alarm clocks (so we can actually wake up the following morning…)
– Large magnets (like calendars)
Hope that helps!
