I read about these guys quite a while back and I have to admit, these chaps have it all – from t-shirts to pens to (ahem) booze parties! I’m talking about Valleyschwag.

Who the heck / what the hell is Valleyschwag?
In their words, “Out here in the Valley (Silicon Valley, that is) we're well known for cookin' up a mean tech company. But our real legacy is our schwag--the t-shirts, ballcaps, notepads, stickers, keychains, and other booty blaring, the slogans that create new industries (and sometimes landfill, sorry to say). Until now, these world-class collectibles have only been available to the elite few who make it to conventions and insider parties. Now you can have a little piece of the valley without the $3000 rent and two hour commute.

Valleyschwag is a powerful new medium for renegade tech companies and organizations to make a big impact on just the right people. We've built a large and vital community of enthusiasts in the U.S. and around the world who want to be the first to hear about your innovation, and the first to tell their friends. With any luck they'll blog about it, wear your t-shirts and pins, and emblazen stickers on their laptops.”

How does Valleyschwag work?
Well, you really want one of those “Byte me” t-shirts and you just have to get your hands on that Google keychain, right? If you sign up with these blokes for a month, they will charge you $14.95 and will send you a collectible every month. No repeats. The package prices can vary $14.95 to about $20 for a collectible – inclusive of shipping – way cheaper for something that you wouldn’t ordinarily get at a collectible store.

I loved the enthusiastic vibe you get from the site and it just makes you feel that this place is where you can get a lot of stuff and get all “geared” up – valley style!
