We're not going to lie. We were REALLY excited about this election. Swept up in the hoopla. We were so excited that we now have a drawer full of leftover pins, bumper stickers, postcards, and a few lawn signs. (And we have a feeling we're not alone?)
So, what do we do with all of it now?
We plan to keep some of the schwag as a souvenir -- but we don't need to keep all of it. On the other hand, we'd rather not throw the rest of it in the trash. That'd be pretty wasteful.
So what do we do? Well we have a few ideas -- but we hope you'll add your own in the comments. What are you doing with your bumper stickers, pins, lawn signs, t-shirts, etc?
Ideas:
What else?

if you have any corrugated plastic signs that are in good condition, you may be able to find a local printer who can use them (or YOU can use them for the next garage sale, open house, party...). Often times, a sign printer can create an opaque sticker to cover the original printing on corrugated plastic. Check the yellow pages or google for a sign printer nearby!

Am I safe in assuming that they're for Obama?
If so, I would take 'em!

Don't give all of them to eirracoes! I would like an Obama sign (impossible to get my hands on pre-election) for my grandchildren.
I'm sure we're not the only people who feel this way. Try selling them on ebay in a few years... or now!
