True story: Danny Bonaduce lives around the corner from my favorite bar in Philadelphia, and once in a great while you can catch him drinking there. Thanks to The Atlanta Name Badge from Imagery Group, he can still remember his name afterward.

It has become a standard part of almost everyone's life—wake up, shower, brush your teeth, drink that first cup of coffee, grab your security badge and lanyard, and run out the door.

Remember all the fun you had with building blocks? Well they will  provide those same memories for your customers when you use them in your next promotional campaign.

PEOPLE TAKE THEIR playtime seriously. Just ask an employee to work a few hours unpaid overtime, a child to do a few chores or an editor to write over a weekend, and see how cranky they get.

With that in mind, below are nine of the more interesting, unique or just plain fun toy promotions out there.
