We now have an entire page of 2k users, followed by a page of 1k users, so hopefully are hitting the right success/size metrics. Traditionally Stack Exchange reward this with a cool swag giveaway. We really need to think about what this could be.

Obviously T-shirts are a no brainer. I haven't yet seen them in person, but @Jeff says they look grand - @Jin's design works.

So what else do we think we would like? One idea per answer, and vote for ones you like.

SE folks - let us know if we are on the right track here and what you have already planned :-)

  • Hm, the site is still in the second beta phase and not considered mature by SE, until the top 40 tags have reached 200 questions each.

  • Although in looking at some of the other sites, that didn't seem to be the criterion used. Hopefully - as we only have 5 over 200 questions each

  • @JeffFerland Still a lot darker than the preview we've been given.

  • @Iszi If the shirt material is the same, you can expect something between the demo page and the color here. This batch of shirt was from DEFCON last year.

Sec.SE branded lockpick credit cards, like Kevin Mitnick's famous one:

  • Love this idea. I wonder how much those cost, anyway?

    Found out. If we wanted just one each, it seems the cost would be at least $280 for the first two pages of users. That's $100 for a one-time film creation fee. Then $1.80 per card, up to 500, minimum of 100. After 500 cards, the cost drops to $1.60 per. metalcards.com/metalcards/mcpricing.html

I'd like a Sec.SE branded mug. Not some generic Stack Exchange mug, one with my favorite site design.

Just to clarify, this may be too much for freebies; I'd pay for it.

    I would also pay for a mug.

  • I, too would prefer a mug over a shirt, and would pay

I'd love a baseball cap with logo and url on the back, like the popular EFF "SWAT" hat: https://supporters.eff.org/shop/eff-swat-hat enter image description here

Rucksacks or swag sacks - not sure whether a laptop bag or a small single shoulder rucksack would be best here. Comments?

Small, coloured enamel lapel pins with our logo - lapel pins are often a good conversation starter.

    If you are not in management they might look pretentious.

A teddy bear! I'll call him Tom, and feed him a honeypot called Jerry.

Pens - either SE or Sec.SE branded would do

Post it packs, or pads - with a small logo + URL these can be very effective to scribble notes on to give to others

A Sec.SE branded keyring in the shape of a padlock, perhaps with one of those shopping trolley tokens.

  • I'm guessing "shopping trolley tokens" are a European thing?

A pair of socks with a sec.SE logo would be awesome.
