1 - How about something you probably have lots of and not expensive for XMOS. Some L1's chips?
I know I could always use another few.

2 - I don't need this, but maybe a grab bag of some of the harder chips to some across on some of the reference designs. This might have a limited audience, though.

3 - How about a defective IC wafer to hang on a wall? Not sure what size you use nowadays, as a 2 foot one would not be what I would want.

4 - How about a discount for products? Maybe 50% off of the first $$ of an order? Free shipping for an order?

5 - Any marketing items besides white t-shirts?

Tough to ship small items in my opinion and justify it.

I just received my book from the original Monday Madness: considering everyone was talking about delays sending, it came pretty quick from Bristol to Vancouver.

Thanks XMOS!
