Do You Like Swag?

In case you're new to the word, swag means promotional items, especially when given for free, considered as a group. We often hear about how authors give away swag to promote their books. These swag come in various types, such as the most common and widely-loved bookmarks, bookplates, magnets, cards, stickers etc. Sometimes they are specially signed by the author. Some book bloggers actually have a huge collection of them, which they like to give away in contests as a way of saying thanks to readers who have supported their blogs for a long time.

So, what do you think about swag? Would you like to have them if you have the chance?
