2005 Google Xmas Swag

What should Adwords give to advertisers this year?

[cline]

At breakfast this morning the kid made her first pitch about an xmas gift, so the santas at Google must now be thinking about what to send out in Decembers to all the good big and little advertising spenders.

What should they send this year?

My favorite from past years is the Google beach towel, which now graces my home office... because my office back door leads to the hot tub.

The radio was beautiful, but not especially useful. The scarf was nice, but I've got bunches of scarves.

Suggestions from the Google Store:

Café Set [googlestore.com...]

Lava Lamp [googlestore.com...]

Laptop Bag [googlestore.com...]

USB Drive [googlestore.com...]

My personal wish list:

* desk lamp
* bluetooth keyboard and mouse
* wireless headset (for computer or phone)

I have to agree that the radio was not particularly useful, having said that it was nice to get!

I would be happy with a couple of nice big coffee mugs!

I'd like a Google gift that is original and not available in the Google store. That makes me feel special!

A few months ago I got a box of little goodies from Google because I was one of the first to pass the Qualified Adwords Professional tests.

One of the items was a baseball cap ... a black one. No one else in the family understood why that struck me as so funny.

AWA, I'm sorry. But my daughter started it by already lobbying for xmas gifts, my wife has already asked me what I want, and the xmas tree displays are already going up in the stores.

That moose kit could come in handy if you could hook it up with Google Maps and provide locations of all nearby moose. The last time I got a speeding ticket the cop lectured me on how dangerous the roads were because of the moose.

A lava lamp would be cool.

Alternatively, how about an all-expenses-paid trip to the Googleplex Christmas party for us UK advertisers? I promise to grow our spend by at least another 100% next year if you can organise that!

This is going to sound odd, but I think I would like a scarf. A big long scarf like Harry Potter wears, except in Google colors and with the G logo.

See Google hired some people from the "Great White North":)

Finally a practical idea for Christmas gifts. Going to place orders at the Google store for all my friends:):)
