I don't have a lot of storage space for things I don't use use often. If get something and find out I'm not using it I'll give it to someone who can. I recently gave 2 people a bunch of conference tote bags so they can use them for reusable shopping totes. that's where I got all of the reusable tote bags I use for shopping.

No matter what the group is about, the extra prizes are welcomed. A good bit of the conference swag I get goes into the prize pools/raffle pools for whichever user group I am attending at the time.

Another thing I'll do with swag is that (if it's appropriate for my audience) give it away to blog readers. Either in the form of a contest, or sometimes it's a great gesture to contact a prolific commenter or community member, get their address, and send them some goodies.
