Swag ideas for upcoming milestone game? (2 Viewers)

[BleedingChips]

Thanks to everyone in this community and especially @Chris Manzoni, I am coming up on a year of hosting a monthly cash game!

I am looking for some relatively inexpensive swag ideas to give the attendees to commemorate the occasion. I have already created a custom invitation with many of the regulars faces photoshopped on to it and called it “The Bleedingchips Invitational : Poker Classic.” It is pretty cool that my poker hosting dream has now become a reality for this long, so feel like I want to make it a little extra special.

Thinking along the lines of a custom card protector/chip, pin, stickers, etc. that say invitational“bleedingchips I am expecting about 10 guys or less to play and budget is ideally less than $5/person.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hit up @BR Pro Poker and get some custom tokens. I've used them many times and am a huge fan of their work.

I second @BR Pro Poker. I give out a member chip to everyone who hits 10 times in my monthly game.

I saw a video on YouTube a while back where a guy was showing off custom bounty token/chips with members pictures on them. Thought that was a cool idea.

I love this idea. How did you end up with your design? I am not sure exactly what look I want - I have some CC Pharaohs, but want something different in design than Egypt for a member chip.

BR Pro Poker for the win!!! We make custom member chips each year of our league. Looking forward to the current year member chips that they are working on right now!!!

If you offered some swag for suggestions you may get more of them, lol.

I worked with @timinater for the design of my chips. He was really great to work with and made the process really easy.

Those are really cool! I like the yearly theme so you can add more designs.

The standard swag in our game has been member chips for new players, and then every year I create a new set of stickers to give everyone as well.

Some one-off items that I’ve done over the years have included:

-cut cards
-dealer buttons
-custom Yeti drinkware
-laser-engraved whiskey glasses
-custom hats
-custom coins/card protectors

Lower cost items I typically produce for everyone. Items like the Yeti drinkware or custom hats I only have a few produced and make them prizes during the game.

Thank you again to everyone who suggested such great ideas! @buzzmonkey @MrBoosh @BottomPair7 I was able to connect with Kristil from @BR Pro Poker and she came up with such a fun member chip design even better than I could have imagined *and* got it turned around super fast in plenty of time for my next game. Will definitely work with them again!

Something that I've considered is offering a chip whose face value is equal to someone's ending stack if they exceed a certain amount.

For example, because I play low stakes (.25c / .25c), if someone has an ending stack of $100 or more, you could offer them a $100 chip as a take home prize.

I know it's already done... but I've been coming up with ideas for gifts to keep the regulars excited, and to entice new members. I always put out food (taquitos, samosas, pizza rolls, etc.) and chips, salsa, pork rinds, candy, and water/soda/beer/liquor, but I want to come up with some new ideas. Maybe bounty chips where the top bounty collector gets a deck or two of used WSOP cards from Spinetti's. They have sales where you can get decks for 2-3 bucks sometimes. Even slugged chip card cappers in airtites with custom labels. Lots of possibilities.

Sounds like a good time as long as your samosas aren’t too spicy
