Accountex is coming up and we'd like to know what goodies you'd like to receive at the AccountingWEB stand? Obviously, this has to be reasonable: We can't hand out ostrich eggs or pages from the dead sea scrolls or something ridiculous. Just something nice, that would make your Accountex experience that little bit nicer. Let us know what you're thinking!

Good question!
I love a wee freebie and got a good one in the last couple of weeks.
Client came in handed over a little square charging device. Plug it into a PC via a USB, that charges it up, then once charged (and when required) switch it on, plug in your phone charger and BOOM!
On the go mobile battery boost. Great for travelling etc.
Cant go wrong with a USB pen either.
Maybe I'm just too easily pleased.
Nice idea
Hi Craigie_Bhoy,
That's a lovely idea, yeah. I've never heard of one of those chargers -- damned clever. Wish I got that as a freebie myself.
Nice suggestion Craigie_Bhoy
We visited Kinder Pocock recently and they gave us a pen with a smartphone/tablet stylus at one end. It's actually really simple but really useful!
Would be great to hear more suggestions.
Kindle vouchers
For me, but can you put them in the post please as reading a book at home is far more valuable to me than attending another Accountex!
For others, how about a year's free subscription to the "accountant's only - no riff-raff" Any Answers that so many people have been asking for?
Yes it's 5:30
AW Key Chain
Having lost my keys recently, I would love a keychain that is connected to my mobile so just like losing a mobile phone, I can login to my account that will show me where my keys are located.
That would be great.
Undecided
I don't know if this is just me being awkward.... but given the OP's post I now want a page from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Or a mug.
Or...
A page from Dead Sea Scrolls in a mug. Or, a mug made from a page of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
Do scrolls have pages?
I thought a scroll was a roll...
Never mind. Ostrich eggs are definitely a thing, so I'll have a cheese omelette please.
Personally
I'd like a voucher for a free massage at my desk. And a butler to bring me a cup of tea in my free 'We're Accountants, We Lack A Sense of Humour' mug.
Failing that a set of Encyclopedia Britannica. And a boiled egg and soldiers.

I've got a set of EB from the 1970s. Will sell to good new home. Must collect. Boiled egg and soldiers negotiable, though.
Personal safety is paramount
It's getting dodgy out there, so how about an AccountingWEB branded AK-47? Failing that, we could give gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
AK-47?
Any chance of a tank and a rocket launcher while you're at it? I could aim the rocket launcher out of my office window and take out my neighbour while he sits in his Porsche in his garage revving the engine every day. If you think that's a bit of an overreaction to noise pollution (and he drives me up the pole and back down again) then I'll mention that he works for HMRC.... You'll have it delivered tomorrow? Thank you so much.
Dead sea scrolls
How about a mug and a coaster made from (some of) the dead sea scrolls? Possibly a matching plate for my elevenses too..
