quicko: show bags
Australian catch-all term for what I'd consider "goodie bags." Our church particularly favors "show bags" for, say, kids' activities or bags of freebies you're given at the carols under the bridge. The term comes from the Royal Easter Show bags as far as I can tell, and I wouldn't really use it outside of that event ... which evidently goes to show I still err far more on the side of American!

Like you, I'd use 'goodie bag' in contexts outside a 'show'. Of course, for me 'show' is broader than an agricultural show. I'd also use this for, say, the Quilt and Craft Show, possibly because they call their event a 'show'.
