Hi! Every year for our annual event we give out a water bottle, pen, and notebook, so it’s very much expected by our execs and attendees BUT I’m trying to figure out a way to make this more sustainable. Any recs on how to encourage people bring their own water bottles or take notes electronically or something? Would be a nice to have to be able to move the budget, but mostly feels almost like a waste to give the same things each year when we have decent retention

Hello planners, we have some very important customers coming to visit us and we want to give them the red carpet treatment, they are only here for on day 10-2pm. They are high level and we are looking for a nice regional gift to give them, something they will hold onto. They are from PA. We are from NE/Boston area. We do not want to do alcohol or wine or food. We need to keep in mind they are flying and will get on a plane. Any ideas of what to give these high level executives as a thank you for visiting gift? Appreciate the suggestions. Thanks.
