Dear Free Software Supporter,
The end of 2025 is less than two months away, but fear not: you can
finish the year with some new free software gear! From November 3,
2025 until January 1, 2026, you can get yourself or someone you care
about a little something from the GNU Press Shop. Whether there's
something you've been eyeing since the last time the shop was open or
this is your first time checking out the offerings, we've got
something for everyone. There's a lot of useful and fun free software
merch in the our shop, including:
* GNU [Emacs logo t-shirt][1] in purple and green;
* A [GNU beanie][2] to keep you warm this winter;
* A GNU head [beanie t-shirt][3] to match your hat;
* FSF [35th anniversary socks][4], to keep your feet toasty; and
* Much, much more!

When you make a purchase at the GNU Press Shop, you don't just get
conversation-starting gifts for yourself and others: you also help
fund the FSF's mission to protect the freedom to run, copy, modify,
and share software. Check out everything that the [shop][5] has to
offer today!

We also hope you'll consider [becoming an FSF associate member][8],
helping us protect software freedom long into the future. Plus, you'll
help us reach our winter fundraising goal of USD $400,000 before
January 1, and of course, you'll receive a 20% discount at the GNU
Press Shop.

If you are purchasing something for a loved one for the winter
holidays, be sure to place your order before **December 9** if you
have a US mailing address or **December 2** if you have an
international mailing address.
*A note about shipping: the GNU Press Shop opens periodically, and we
collect all orders during this time and schedule orders to be sent out
on specific shipping dates with the help of volunteers. We will be
shipping orders throughout the winter fundraiser, which means there
will be a delay between placing your order and receiving it. You can
email me at <
[email protected]> with any questions regarding shipping,
merchandise, suggestions for new products, inquiries regarding your
order, or anything else. The operations assistant is standing by!*
If you happen to be in the Boston area in November, December, or
January, and would like to support the FSF's work, we are looking for
volunteers to help pack and ship our orders. We will certainly need
volunteers on [November 19, 2025][9], [December 3, 2025][10], and
[January 7, 2026][11], or whenever you're available. If you would like
to have a great time meeting other free software enthusiasts and
swapping stories, send a message to <
[email protected]> to let me know
when you're available!
