Past SWAG I've received (best containers are reusable shopping bags, or even a zippered tote):

Loved:
-flash drives
-map of city, especially with guidebook
-coupons
-soccer balls that play that "ole, ole, ole, ole" song. Four World Cups and most are still going strong!
-first aid kit

Liked:
-reusable mugs or glasses
-pens
-pencils
-notepads
-ruler
-lanyards
-mints
-special Pez dispenser

Hated:
-t-shirts (use for 2-3 days then donate to charity)
-kazoos
-chocolate that was melted
-toys for very small children (I gave mine to the housekeeper's children, she loved it!)

Bottom line: anything someone's going to leave at the hotel isn't worth giving.
