I have a hefty plaque, but it's not pretty.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

I won new staff member of the year and got a ceramic piggy bank in the shape of a book. The theme of the awards was "O Budget Where Art Thou."
My coworkers got me a business card case engraved with my name for getting my library degree. I don't actually have any business cards, but maybe someday.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I think you could probably kill someone with a properly wielded plaque. Eliot could.

They underestimate the power of the plaque.
I had to read that twice to realize you weren't talking about dental plaque!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. You could probably kill someone with that kind too but it would take considerably longer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eliot can kill you with an appetizer.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The Getty mug I got as swag for a humongous photo order a few years ago is nice (perfect for heating soup), but I much preferred the nano that came with until a bout with the washing machine rendered it all challenged.

Because books.
I got a really nice, heavy silver watch (well, silver looking, I suppose it's stainless) when working at H&M, because they were celebrating the company's 60th anniversary or something. It's a Fossil, and it only says H&M really small on the face, so I actually wear it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hate all corporate gifts. I do not want things with company logos on them.
This is why when I took over HR, I changed what we give. 5-years get an iPod with their name on it. I picked a gorgeous box from Levenger for our 10-year gift, which has their name and our name, but engraved, only on the INSIDE of the box lid (and they also get an engraved video iPod or some other techie gadget).
All employees get the branded stuff we give clients every year, but it's usually something like a camp chair or a water bottle. I like where I work and don't mind our logo on something I use. I don't think I would wear clothing with our logo on it, though.
