Went with Kentucky to the Peach Bowl in 93, I was a student athletic trainer.

Swag we got:
Nike Peach Bowl warm up
Peach Bowl Hat
Citizen Gold Peach Bowl Watch
Ring
Starter Kentucky Peach Bowl Jacket
Peach Bowl Shirt

We were given $80/day spending money
They took us to Hooters for both teams (UK/Clemson)
Team banquet with both teams in the Marriott

Even though we lost…(my friend Marty Moore fumbled after int. a pass in the last 1:30 of the game with the lead….I had a blast. Running out of the tunnel with the team out in the Georgia Dome with the UK crowd was a great feeling.

The new trend for bowl gifts is a copout, seems like each bowl is doing a "gift suite", where they just give you $400 or so to spend on a variety of gifts like electronics. I'd rather it go back to where each bowl had unique gifts.

Poinsettia Bowl we got an iPod Touch, and a Best Buy Gift Card.

But Fiesta/Rose Bowl were the gift suite. I used my points for the Fiesta Bowl to get a PS3 and the points for the Rose Bowl to get a recliner chair.

I don't think the bowl game specific gear/apparel count toward the $500 limit though. We got plenty of that apart from the gift suite.
