Free souvenirs
Answer:
SWAG
Hint:
Think of the slang term for promotional freebies often handed out at events or in goodie bags. It’s also a word that can describe confidence or style.
Explanation:
"Free souvenirs" hints at "SWAG," a slang term for promotional freebies like branded merch or giveaways at events. The word "swag" originally meant loot or stolen goods but evolved to describe cool, often free items—think logoed T-shirts, tote bags, or stickers. The clue plays on the idea that these items are handed out for free, making them unofficial "souvenirs" from conferences, concerts, or trade shows. It’s a casual, modern twist on the traditional crossword answer.
