Things they give you when you donate blood

[xiphias]

Sometimes, when there is a blood drive, they give out swag of some sort to donors.  I have a Red Cross Red Sox T-shirt, a Red Cross Bruins T-shirt; I've gotten a five-dollars-off coupon for chocolates, a coupon for an ice cream cone, things like that.

 

Monday, I got the most pathetic gift I've ever gotten.  Any guesses?  I'll put it in comments, but I'd love to hear your ideas as to what the worst possible blood donation gift would be.  And note: I'm restricting it to worst POSSIBLE gift, not worst IMAGINEABLE, because it's one I actually got.

Socks. A pair of plain white athletic socks with the New Balance logo on them.

Not even a Red Cross on them. I mean, a pair of socks with a Red Cross embroidered on them, or even PRINTED on them, would have been cool. But, no, just plain socks.

I intend to take a red Sharpie to them, and draw a +. If they didn't make Red Cross socks, I'll do it myself.

That's just ridiculous.

I was going to guess a sticker.

Socks are useful, so there's that. I like your logo-adding plan; that is a good plan.

Stickers are awesome. I am always really excited when they have stickers.

Anything that would motivate a toddler will work on me, too.
