As promised in my previous post, I’m here with an article all about Goodies. After all, that is, has been, & will always be the talk of the town.
Starting from the Introduction party, to the goodbye brunch, endless Goodies were given to the 200 Local guides representing their respective nations.
-From a Pop Socket for our phones to a Brand New Phone itself,
-From Local Guides Stickers to the Pegman (my personal favorite)
-From the Neon Bag to the devilishly desired pair of socks. (everyone’s favorite)
Talking about Socks— We all know the pair of Local Guides Socks are highly in demand and why not! All of us had our obvious rationales for getting at least one of those.
When I received my second pair on the final day of CL2019, I was certain one of these pairs is going to get framed and hung on the wall. Believe it or not, they truly deserve the imperial treatment.
-How are you treating your local guides’ socks?
Talking about Pegman— Ever since I had seen Pegman posing everywhere on Social Media with Local Guides from around the Globe, I wanted it in my hand somehow. Now that I received one, it’s my new favorite thing.
Anecdote— Just for a moment, imagine a kid who keeps yearning/dreaming of a special trinket, every time she passes by a store.
Now imagine, what would it mean for that kid upon receiving the same trinket in her bag from Santa.
The only difference, in this case, is that Googlers are the Santa & I was that kid keeping an eye on the store! They gifted me exactly what I yearned for over the past few months.

Talking about Gift Exchange- Alongside the goodies that we all earned during CL2019, I’d like to present to you what I gifted to my fellow Local Guides during the Gift exchange.
These hand-painted magnets, according to me, were a modest way to express how much I adored being a part of CL2019.
On the other hand, Local guides brought some brilliant gifts from their hometowns— of which some were sweet, some were innovative, some were inspirational, while others were visually stunning. The diversity could be seen everywhere like in our dresses, in our languages, and in the cameras too!
Lastly, what-so-ever you like to call them- Goodies, Swag or Perks, they will constantly be the reminder of our contributions toward this platform & one of the finest means of encouragement.
