A blogger event isn’t a blogger event without swag.
And Bloggers On Bourbon was no exception.
We got some great items to take home and check out!
Now, I’m not one of those people who NEEDS swag.
I certainly wouldn’t complain if there wasn’t any, but I have to admit that it sure is fun to receive.

As you can see, there are a ton of great items we received…I’ll touch on a few of my favorites.
The EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale is a fantastic item! It really is an invaluable tool in the kitchen, especially those who are watching their weight and using portion control. I follow the Weight Watchers program and this scale makes it so much easier to make sure I am not over-eating or cheating myself.
My kids LOVE the Loopz game from Mattel and the Kidz Bop 18 CD.
I was also excited to receive a Flings bin (they are so great), a Carb Lovers Diet book from Health Magazine, and a set of fitness videos from Marta Montenegro.
And Boogie Wipes! We love Boogie Wipes around here, in fact my daughter gets mad if I try and wipe her nose with anything else.
There were so many other interesting and useful items as well, I just haven’t had enough time to use everything yet!
The complete list of sponsors for Bloggers on Bourbon is below. I swiped the list from Kas because I didn’t think she’d mind…

What a terrific bunch of gifts that everyone was able to get. I bet they were all excited, how wonderful of the sponsors. Tell them thank you from me.
I love how organized you were for this picture. Me…I just dumped my swag out and was like a kid in a candy store. Of course I had to fight the actual kids off!
Nice! Makes me think of the ultimate birthday party treat bag :)
I’m loving the retractable mouse for the laptop! I’ve been needing one of those!
Kas
I like the Flings thing…very cool. Looks like you got a lot of good stuff!
The Flings Bins are BRILLIANT. Take up hardly any space to store, then when you need them, instant trash can.
