Usually little things you would think of as “keepsakes” or “trinkets”. Buttons, stickers, little keychains are common. There was a team at the US Open (7686C I believe) that handed out 3D printed fidget balls that were super fun. One of our sister teams, 7862D Duckies handed out rubber squeaky ducks at worlds last year, and you could hear them squeaking in the dome as well as around the pits

From what I’ve heard, teams generally make lots of stickers that represent their team and hand them out.

I agree with all of the above and wanted to add that many teams also have candy or treats, especially if they are a bit unique to their area. Our school is on the US/MX border, so we often bring Mexican candy that is common here but not in most places in the US. Another example is we were given a cute bag with tea and biscuits from a UK team that we allianced with for elims a few years ago.
yeah one time we were with a canadian team in qualification matches and they gave us maple syrup shots after the match.
