Borders Branded Stuff

So, any Borders branded stuff your gonna keep? Lanyards, Bags, copies of termination forms, whatever. Or are you just gonna chuck it all into the nearest Salvation Army Bin?

Top team performance duffle bag! I'll use it until it breaks!

Borders crap anonymous October 6 2011, 06:10:50 UTC

I worked on Borders.com and have some promotional mugs from when it launched in 1998. When most of the home office customer service staff was laid off (when Amazon took over), they got extra mugs. Nice, huh? That's how we got our set.

I have some CatMan crap packed up somewhere. I was on one of the category management teams. Cat Man looked like a Chester Cheetah ripoff.

When Titanic was released, we gave away miniature replicas of the jewel that the chick throws into the ocean. I have one of those somewhere.

Nabbed a few handfuls of Borders envelopes I'm planning to use as Christmas envelopes for those co-workers I've stayed in touch with.

Cafe Borders neon sign anonymous October 7 2011, 03:15:32 UTC

I went by one of the old stores and noticed that the Cafe Espresso neon sign still in the window. Wonder how hard it would be to buy it from the landlord?

Wow SBC sent guys out to take down the electric signs and all the letters. That should have been gone before liquidation started. Trademark logos.

There was one of the old Borders cafe mugs that sat behind Cash Wrap for all my time there, holding pens. Once I scrubbed it out, it is now my new coffee mug at B&N

I for some reason have my lanyard and ear phone combo hanging in my closet. It still has my harry potter Headmaster thingy on it, among others.

And on our last day I loaded a V cart into my car that the fixture vultures missed. I just moved cross country, so I gave it to my roommate, another borders guy, who uses it to move the comic book fixture he got, as we all know, moving that damn comic book fixture is impossible without a V cart.
