I think giveaways are still "in." People love getting free things and it is a good way to advertise yourself (if that is your aim). Useful things are the best giveaways. I'm a writer and never find myself to have too many cute notebooks or nice pens...or anything that sparkles. Anything that makes a person think, "Wow; this is really nice," instead of, "What am I going to do with this crap?" is a good giveaway. However, when in doubt, give away chocolate. Hi, Preston.

Or we might find a "candy flower" never expected by the client that adds the perfect touch. It might be an added prop or an enhanced prop cohesively used in design. Still believe in the above and beyond method that goes way above the added "giveaway".
