If we can influence what tool pins are made this year, I'd vote for the Tile tool. It's my favorite tool and I haven't seen a pin of it in the last 4 Inspires.
In organizing events in the past, here are some additional ideas we had thought of
I've been trying to get my hands on an Alteryx espresso mug ever since I saw them. And the little privacy window slider for the laptop cam is cool too.
My wife would go for the Alteryx Pomeranian which she would promptly name Bambi. Alteryx is tool based, so how about some tools? The Alteryx mandoline slicer so you can slice and dice in the kitchen, too. The "Alteryx Army Knife" that does everything. The Alteryx breaker bar that can handle the toughest nuts.
My Alteryx koozie is showing it's age. I think another round of koozies would be well received.
For Nashville, guitar picks in Alteryx tool colors with the icons on them might be cool.
A puzzle of the periodic table of tools (you can use our Santalytics 2017!), or even better, print out your own personalized periodic table based on @LordNeilLord's entry in Santalytics 2017!!!
A bit of bubbly is lovely. There's a great little Champagne house - Krug. I'm sure they'll partner with us. Or Domaine Carneros if we want to keep things domestic. 1996 was a gorgeous year. So was 2006.
Olive & Sinclair chocolates are local. So are Goo Goo Clusters. Yum!!!!
@Claje would you play Alteryx Periodic Table Battleship with me!?!?!?!
Alteryx coloring books are an idea I didn't know the world needed until today.
I loved my contigo water bottle (until my kids lost it in camp....)
Things that are sustainable are better. Reusable mugs (travel mugs too), non-plastic water bottles, etc. Love my beach towel too.
Other ideas:
-messenger bag
-wooden or metal tea box with Alteryx logo
-Alteryx branded hot sauce (my husband can pack these for you!!!!)
-Something music related - harmonicas? Ukeleles?
-Umbrellas
And for my children:
-Alteryx coloring books. Yes, they've asked for these. Every. Single. Year.
