Hello HN, I'm a college student from India. Is there a way to get swag from start ups or other companies to wear College. I'm in not the best financial conditions. So, I would appreciate if anyone helps me. I will tweet my picture with the swag when received :) Thanks

I remember really wanting stickers from Digg, Twitter, etc. back in 2007. I sent out a bunch of emails saying that I was at university and wanted to promote their cool sites with stickers on my laptop (I thought I'd be cool and have a bunch of tech stickers all over my laptop) and I did get a response from them all, most sent me free stuff. T-shirts? Never tried, but that's quite a bit more costly... Really depends I guess, but I wouldn't count on a formula that'll work every time..
