Peters---Thanks for your comment and welcome! And how funny is that?! :) Some folks don't keep in mind that "gifts" from a company or school aren't really gifts at all...more like a present we paid for, but didn't get to pick out. All the worse then, when it's useless or ugly... Thanks again! @F. Peters—Thanks for your comment and welcome! And how funny is that?! :)

Thanks again!

They gave out tons of hats, t-shirts, notebooks, etc. Unfortunately, everytime I got something new, I knew that my tuition would be raised next year :) I went to George Washington University and they had some great swag.

Oh dear! A bright orange t-shirt? Ick! And a folder with alumni donation instructions? That's so not swag...that's a gift that keeps on <i>taking</i>. Exactly what Naomi warned us about. And I know I'm a goof for being so psyched about the stapler and stickies, but the thought they put into it tickles me. As you've proven perfectly with your story, it's just as easy to give a thoughtless, self-serving thing! :D Kyle—Welcome back!!

I'm beginning to think I went to the wrong university. The most swag I ever got from my alma mater was a bright orange, extra large t-shirt and a folder with a fancy emblem on the front. The folder was of course filled with information on all the ways we could give our money back to the school. These things fail at least half of the tests you mention above... Stickers and a mini stapler are virtually worth the price of tuition already!
