What's Your All-Time Favorite Atlassian Swag?

Hi @Andrew _Zim_ Zimmerman _Appfire_ - For me it has to be this Atlassian throw blanket. It is so plush and soft and I love it!
My favorite is the years active jacket you get after 5 years as a community leader. It's been my go to jacket for the past couple of weeks and especially now when the weather is turning colder here in the PNW...
I'm rather fond of the carry-bags - mostly rucksacks, but there's been a couple of foldable, a courier bag, some nice laptop sleeves, etc. I ran out of space for them all, so a few have gone to friends.
My oldest one is still in use for shopping (it's very light and voluminous, loads of space for hefting tons of coffee, tea, cheese, etc back from the supermarket), another is "pick up and go on holiday", a third is general-purpose (blurs between "working from cafe", "afternoon in the pub" and "games night"), and the best one is "the school bag", the one that I stick a laptop in, and go to work/friend visit/holiday with.
But there are two that stand out. For me:
The one with "answers" written on it is a great jacket Atlassian sent me years ago. We call it the "expensive coat" because the way the swag system worked at the time meant that Atlassian gave out dedicated swag by putting huge prices on items dedicated to specific people and then giving the target recipient a discount voucher for most/all of the price. I thin that coat was $5,000 and 10 of us got a voucher for it. Irrespective of the pricing fiddle. it's a damn good jacket.
The woolier one to the left is my favourite outerwear for when the Answers jacket is not right. And everything else in the photo is Atlassian or Adaptavist swag.
But the favourite swag item in this house is, by far,
Over the past year my daily wardrobe has evolved into an Atlassian advertisement of sorts. My absolute favorite swag/clothing is my Nike Confluence Hoodie. I cannot remember right now where I won it, but it is the most comfortable piece of clothing for 55F-85F and I love walking around feeling like I am rep'ing Confluence.
I am also a sucker for socks. Maybe its because I grew up lower middle class and until today won't buy new socks until they are more holes than fabric, and so I love the idea of getting new socks. My current repertoire is wearing them almost daily in a cycle.
- Atlassian Community Socks
- Atlassian University Socks
- Atlassian Pixel Socks
- 'Connie' Socks
- Cloudie Socks
- Confluence & Jira Better Together Socks!
Hi,
There are a lot of swags, but my favorite one is the Codegeist 2011 swag. I'm still wearing it and I will always keep it.
Here's the story behind this swag. Due to this Codegeist competition in 2011, I published my first app at Atlassian Marketplace. I didn't win the award but I got this T-shirt: D
Anyway, the app in the market was soon popular and I started to implement others, and then I established my own business and expanded in numbers. We joined the Appfire family a few years ago. So this swag means a lot to me.
I love my bombas socks and this hoodie I got last year! I'm all about swag and always happy to represent my favorite tools.
I definitely need to add this one to my collection!
I am late to this party but I have to share my favorite Atlassian swag... I won the "Halp" dinosaur at Team'22. If I remember correctly, I was told that it was handmade by a woman in the Ukraine. :)
