Know of a good place for customized give away promo items?

We're looking for some inexpensive give away items that we could print with info about Social Wave. These would be things like pens, buttons, keychains, bottle openers, etc. The more interesting (but practical) the item, the better. Anyone know of a good source for this kind of stuff in the South Bay?

there are lots of places but let me tell you what I use the most:

cozzies (can holders) and can lids (tupperware style lids that fit over drinks, dog or cat food, open can veg's etc...). Too many refig magnets, only keep the ones with numbers I use. To many todo lists, get them weekly. Do use pens but always have enough and only really appreciate the ones that have my name on it. I have heard of towel clips for chairs and you would be advertising at the beach and the park.

I have a lady that does it but I can't remember her name to look her up. Will get back to you.

The Campbell Chamber of Commerce and Eileen of Alies corner cafe has a lot of experience along this line -- you might check with them.

Advertising specialties is the name for these things if memory serves me right.

I've had great success with T-shirts from Creative Origins in San Francisco. It's not the South Bay, but the prices are good, and the folks are great. They also do other clothing items, pens, stickers, magnets, etc. More info is at http://www.creativeorigins.com/.
