You don't have to spend a fortune on swag that isn't junk. Right now in my bag, I have: Camp towels (the kind that are compressed to the size of dollar coins) Mini bungee cords Salt & pepper shaker lids that fit on film cannisters Carbiners Utility straps (the kind that would go around sleeping bags) Sewing kits Folding scissors Safety whistles Mosquito net hats Bear bells Flexible flashlights First Aid kits I didn't spend more than $2.50 for any of it. If I 'regift' anything, I include something new from my list as well.

A lesson I taught my 7 year old just yesterday. He desperately wanted a cool key chain that we found but our 'trade' collection didn't hold anything that was quite as nice. Sorry little dude. We left a *new* little toy truck and took nothing. Just as an aside, and since I'm really new at this - is there anywhere to go to get ideas for swag or do I just need to learn from experience?
