Bloggy Boot Camp was not only my first blogging conference, but it was also my first experience with SWAG. What is SWAG, you ask? There are several different answers but my favorite is “Stuff We All Get”. Another good one is “Souvenirs, Wearables And Gifts”. Basically, SWAG is anything that sponsors hand out in the hopes that you will try out their products.
Let me just say: I love SWAG.
This is some of the SWAG I got this past weekend.
| Smart & Final Products |
Smart & Final was one of the Sponsors for Bloggy Boot Camp and they graciously provided us all with a huge bag full of some of their best products. I have to admit that I’m a little partial to Smart & Final since I have done some promotional work for them in the past and hope to do a lot more in the future. They are an awesome company. But seriously, this bag was amazing and all the products were ones that my family use every day. And may I just say the Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing is totally restaurant-worthy.
| Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen Tools |
The other huge bag we got was full of Better Homes & Gardens kitchen utensils. This was incredible. As a Mom who cooks pretty much every night and loves to bake with my kids, this was full of the most useful products I need for my kitchen. Whisks, Tongs, Measuring Spoons, Measuring Cup, Corkscrew and lots more. Amazing how much getting kitchen tools excites me. And yes, I am baking brownies as I type this.
Of course, we don’t go to conferences and conventions just to get the SWAG, but since this was my first, I was pretty excited to come home with a car full of goodies.
To all the Sponsors of Bloggy Boot Camp… a great big THANK YOU for everything. It is much appreciated.
