[3] Pack Your Swag Bags

A well-curated swag bag is like the cherry on top of a great event experience, but those in the event industry have seen their fair share of generic giveaways. You can make your gifts feel meaningful by choosing locally crafted goods. We love gifting truffles from Seattle Chocolate, which is handcrafted right here in Seattle Southside and is famous for its creative flavors, like champagne that fizzes in your mouth! The Museum of Flight also has hundreds of fun small gifts like NASA-branded lip balm, stickers, and pocket notebooks.
