Convention/Special Event/SWAG

Whatever you do.... no knick knacks. Especially since APO is for guys too. Most guys are not into knick knacks. Which you probably know though being a guy yourself.
Although I love the sorority "stuff" I have received from various conventions/ events, and I do display it around my house, at this point in my life I'm trying to declutter said house. I have no where to decently "get rid of" sorority stuff, until a new chapter is started!

I love the grocery sack idea, or any tote. Also like the to-go mug.

I have seen customized/ printed flash drives before. That would be very useful, and small so as not to take up a lot of room in the suitcase!

More knick knacky is a Christmas ornament, though not everyone celebrates Christmas.

Good luck with the decision. Always fun to plan stuff.

ETA: I now see that you all are using the term "knick knack" to refer to freebees with no utility like ornaments (although some people love free ornaments). I agree but don't think it has anything to do with gender. I have never attended a Delta or professional org conference or a meeting that wasted money on freebees that serve no utility. Oh well...LOL....

Regardless of the gender of the attendees, only give a couple of things that are commemorative (for lack of a better word) but that people can actually use. My favorite Delta and professional organization freebees have been pens (I have some that were cheap but wrote smoothly and lasted a long time), note pads, calendars/organizers, and (perhaps more costly) longlasting conference bags that can be used for laptops, etc.
