What do people think about smallish zippered pouches, for like storing
small items so they don't get lost in your laptop bag? I have received
several of this type of bag/pouch at events like Maker Faire. I don't know
how popular they are, but I know I use two of them in my backpack every
day. Thoughts? Not exactly what I was thinking but close:

Also, maybe something like this, cheap enough to give away with paid
admission: https://www.4imprint.com/product/141867/Prism-Tote
And this type is handy, maybe for an inexpensive sale item:

Also, flash drives with our logo?

My wife suggested pens but I think those are overdone, but maybe I am
wrong. Pens?

While searching I came across this which isn't necessarily a good idea but
I like it:
