giveaways
Promotional free items
Giveaways are things given away free, typically as promotional items or contest prizes: The company handed out giveaways at the trade show.
A giveaway can also be something that reveals a secret unintentionally—a telltale sign: His nervous laugh was a dead giveaway.
In sports, a giveaway is a turnover—losing possession to the opponent through error.
