Holiday Commerce Reminders!

Doing some holiday shopping? You can support MetaFilter while you do it in a couple of ways:

1. Buy stuff made by members of the MetaFilter community, at the MeFi Mall. Crafty MeFites have got a bunch of neat stuff available!

2. Getting stuff from Amazon? Visit via our referrer link to let MetaFilter get a little bit of credit for the shopping you were going to do anyway.

For more details, you can check out this MetaTalk thread.
