It's all so repetitive. I have a cupboard full of mugs, travel mugs and water bottles. A bunch are even the same product with just a different color and logo! How many liquids does one man need to keep hot/cold for 24 hours?!

Why do you continue to take them? I refuse swag from my own employer if I don't see myself using those things.

My current employer ships us swag and sometimes doesn't tell us up front.

Fortunately, our swag tends to be useful and decent stuff.
