I've seen a few posts with RainbowCon 2014 swag roundups, so I figured I'd share mine. Out of the fairly large swag bags and stuff that was handed out in the dealer room, this is what made it home with me. (For things that were duplicates, like multiples of the same pens, I just put one in the photo.) 

I figure this is good, not just for other authors, who may be interested to see who is taking their stuff, but also for myself to remember in years to come as I think about my own swag. Definitely out: promo cards and fridge magnets with my book cover on them. Maybe good for fan giveaways, but not a good way to introduce myself to new audiences. Noted.

"Paper swag" that made it home was very minimal, including bookmarks from Less Than 3, a card for a free book, that rockin' comic, and sticky notes. Also interesting, the fridge magnets from VJ Summers that were gorgeous and fun instead of featuring book covers. I loved the chapstick, the alcohol spray, and the tissues. Super practical! Only my favorite pens made it into the suitcase, however, and none of the keychains or candy did. Practical totally wins the day with con swag, and the less specific/naughty/book-cover-plastered things were, the better. Coming soon: Things I Learned at RainbowCon. Stay tuned. ;)
