Oxfam-Play?

A couple of you have asked whether it's possible to use my referral code for things bought from Child's Play wish lists, thereby donating to two charities with one purchase (since I'm donating my referral fees to Oxfam. I think this is a great idea, but as far as I know there's no way to have a purchase be both for an affiliate and for a wish list - if you use my link generator before adding the product to your cart, I don't think it will still be considered a wish list item. But I'll definitely look into it; there may be something sneaky we can pull off. I've already made my Child's Play donation, but I'm sure many of you are planning to make yours closer to Christmas.

While we're on the subject of charities, I thought I'd point out that Oxfam has a Tribute Gift program (as do most charities). You might want to consider this as an option for Christmas - I know there are people on my list whose taste I'm not all that familiar with, and I'd rather send money to Oxfam in their name than buy them books or CDs that they won't enjoy.
