In an effort to feature more attendees, rather than featuring just one per week, we’re featuring lots of you! We’ll have a new question each week, so be sure to keep an eye on our social media channels for each week’s question. Without further ado, let’s get into this week’s question:

I have sooooo many to pick from, but if I had to choose it would definitely be the swag from Animayhem!!! What started as an “oh neat…pins” turned into a full on annual “must get” for me.
I will brave the heat as I stand in line for those sweet, sweet, and funny pin sets.
Fun fact: I figured out the trick to winning the Hit Monkey pin set and got extras for two of my friends who didn’t win them.
My second fave:
MY GOOBLERS FROM SOLAR OPPOSITES!!! I won the red one first and went and got the standard later on. Thankfully, the red goobler hasn’t tried to kill me…yet.

Not sure if it’s the best or fanciest, but last year Brawl Stars gave me a free points card to redeem for gifts on their app. I did and got a 24oz Stanley Sipper that I use EVERYDAY at work.

My favorite offsite giveaway was The Purge store! We got to pick items like cards, bumper stickers, shirts, and hats from an allotted amount. The staff was amazing and well worth the wait! I keep my bumper sticker on my fridge to this day!

My favorite swag from an offsite has to definitely be this LE1 drawing of Donald Duck.
At the Disney Infinity 2.0 off-site in 2014 they not only had the demo of the game, but they also had legit Disney artists who would draw any character you asked them to.

Sometimes offsites give you something you need in that minute! Best example being a bandana to protect you from the sun and the heat after a day of outdoor lines.
Other time an offsite gives you a random appliance!?!? Like the slow cooker I got at a D23 party. Had to carry that giant box back from the offsite in Barrio Logan!
At other times you get something so crucial that you didn’t know you needed. Like Abbott Elementary giving me the gym bag I still use, on my weight loss journey, down over 100lbs, and it still makes it to the gym at least 3 times a week!
Other gifts are temporary but memorable like a RuPaul Neck Tattoo.
Others get put to use at work, like my Lumen office supplies.
Finally, and the best, because it’s the blog, sometimes you get to take a “Daddy” home with you from PedroCon.

My favorite offsite freebie wasn’t something handed out by a studio or publisher; it was the Good Goods card game, named after and created in 2025 by members of our Hall H line group.
With no elaborate overnight strategy and no need to camp out for Hall H on Saturday, we wanted to spend time together as a group. So instead of chasing an offsite, we created our own.
The highlight was the Good Goods card game, designed by Kharma with input from Jimmy and James. What started as a small gathering quickly turned into one of the biggest highlights of the day and maybe even the entire convention.
For a few hours, we laughed, traded cards, and enjoyed something that was uniquely ours. Everyone was excited to discover new cards, relive inside jokes, and celebrate the memories and friendships we’d built over the years.
There was no giant stage, no celebrity appearance, and no major panel announcement. Just creativity, friendship, and pure Comic-Con energy.
In a convention filled with incredible exclusives and giveaways, my favorite freebie was one made by friends, for friends.

Back in 2016, there was the Sonic the Hedgehog 25th Anniversary Party. We received a cinch bag which had a Sonic Comic, Hat, Character, and a special anniversary coin.

My fave swag I got was at the Severance offsite in 2022. The whole thing was so well done, and we got a pic of our group with Lumon’s map on the back of it, snacks, a Lumon ID card, Lumon access card, tote bag, Lumon coins and a Lumon manual. It was by far my favorite!!

Westworld: The Experience swag from 2017 FTW!
Our group took turns waiting overnight in the Hilton Bayfront lobby each night trying to secure an appointment. It became progressively harder as the line formed earlier and earlier with limited appointments available. Luckily, I secured both hats! Here’s a look at the offsite from the agency Campfire that put it all together.
Runner-up swag includes the shot vials from 2017’s Blade Runner: The Experience, the orientation packet, coins, and food from the 2022 Severance Alumni Industries Orientation offsite (Praise Kier!), and this plot deed on Paramount Mountain from their 2025 offsite at Happy Does Bar.
