Rejecting swag at conventions

I’ll be the first to admit I have some strange quirks and one of them is rejecting swag at conventions. I did it again today at the annual convention of the Texas Association of Broadcasters. There’s that moment when the convention staffer is eager to hand over a bag filled with swag and I politely say, “No thank you.” The look on their face is either one of shock or bewilderment (as if who on earth doesn’t want free stuff)? I just don’t like carrying extra stuff around that I know I’ll end up throwing away. Maybe when I have kids one day, I’ll save the swag for them, but for now I’ll just pass on it. What kind of swag do you think is worth saving?
