Register to take part in future surveys

We offer a variety of gifts to thank you for taking part in our surveys. These range from Maglite flashlights, laser pointers, pocket knives, Barnes & Noble gift certificates, Starbucks coffee, Inova brilliant keychain microlights, jelly beans, or crisp new 5 Euro banknotes. We try to find new items from time to time to keep it interesting.

The Inova Brilliant LED Keychain Microlight is accepted worldwide as the standard for brilliant, miniature and reliable lights with hundreds of uses. It is the smallest brightest light, that fits easily on a keychain, carabineer, or flight suit. The flashlight measures only 2.3 x 1.7 cm yet projects a brilliant flood of light over an effective range of 8 - 11 meters, yet is visible from 1 mile away. The lights are supplied in an assortment of colors, including bright white, brilliant green, cobalt blue, and ruby red. The unit is constructed of crush-resistant polycarbonate and utilizes a gold-plated rust proof switch. It has a constant on/off switch or can be pressed for a momentary on. A stainless steel clip won't allow your light to get lost. The long-lasting lithium battery is replaceable. These are the 'new model' improved lights from Inova.
We also usually offer a $5 Amazon gift certificates good for on-line purchases at Amazon.com, including books, music, videos, and much much more. The gift card can also be used for Amazon auctions and merchandise and is one of our most popular offerings.
There is nothing like the appeal of a bricks and mortar bookstore. Visit a Barnes & Noble store and browse books, music, videos, and magazines while relaxing in comfortable chairs and perhaps while enjoying a cup of coffee. What a pleasant way to spend some quiet time away from the lab. With these $5 gift cards, you can do this at our expense - or use the card online instead if your experiments don't let you stray too far away. Many of our respondents collect and save up these cards to use all at once. Others use each one as an opportunity to visit their favorite store again. Either way, you are in for a treat.
How many times have you wished you had a small knife - it doesn't have to be large, just sharp. Well, select our executive stainless steel pocket knife. No frills, just one sharp blade. It is just 2.5" closed and just under 4.5" open. Lockback style locks the blade open for safety. This is the knife MacGuyver wished he remembered to carry. Get it now.
Most surveys also offer one of two types of Starbucks gift cards, which can be used to purchase your favorite coffee drinks at your local Starbucks or specialty coffees online to brew at home or in the lab. Most frequently, we offer a rechargeable card containing $5 value. We also sometimes offer a special card good for one pound of Starbucks House Blend (roughly $10 value) which can also be used for your favorite coffee drinks as well as stocking up on coffee for laboratory brewing.
Perhaps our most popular single gift item is the Miracle Beam laser pointer. Quality constructed from solid milled brass that has been chrome-plated for durability, this laser pointer can be attached to your key chain and is ideal for presentations. A powerful Class IIIA laser product operating at 5 mW with a ruby red (645 nm) beam. Contains two LR44 button batteries. We have supplied thousands of laser pointers over the past years. Many researchers tell us they use these to give their cats an exercise workout as they chase the beam endlessly.
Start saving for that European vacation with a beautiful new 5 Euro banknote. Currently worth more than the equivalent in dollars, this banknote will remind you to start saving for that vacation. It will make a great gift for a child you know, or keep it for yourself to enjoy its beautiful engravings and security features.
The Maglite AAA flashlight is a great American product. Milled from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum stock, these anodized and machined miniature wonders will last a lifetime. Comes complete with a stainless steel pocket clip, 2 AAA batteries, and spare bulb tucked safely in the base until needed. Twist to turn on and to adjust the beam from a spotlight to a floodlight - or remove the reflector top and stand the unit in reflector base to use as a candle lantern. We don't always offer these, as we have to purchase them in bulk lots of 512 at a time, but when we do, be sure to add one to your emergency kit in your lab or office drawer.
Another seasonal offering that is a firm favorite, the Jelly Belly assortment. This varies from time to time, but these confections keep the lab working late into the evening, so our respondents tell us. Look for them to be offered in cooler weather, when they can be shipped safely.

A popular new addition for 2006 has been the option to donate money to a selected non-profit organization in your name instead of receiving a gift. So far this year, we have sent money to the American Red Cross, UNICEF, Habitat for Humanity, the American Cancer Society, and the World Wildlife Fund.
