An OLPC Shop could sell a collection of gifts with a low to medium production cost but a very significant donation component under a protected brand.

Obviously the OLPC Shop should be a certified OLPC fundraiser.

Goodgifts

Other gifts

  • The OLPC watch - for people who like to look at their "watch" at others with great care. (G1G1: get one watch, give one laptop)
  • The Wikibooks puzzleball showing children with XO laptops and a Wikibooks and/or OLPC logo.
  • One could cooperate with LimeWire and allow artists to sell their music through the software, e.g. with 50% going into the Special Laptop Program. (A very plausible connection between "music" and music, one could say, which is also in line with the view that "replicators" [1] should be charities.) Artists could be given the choice to use DRM or to ask for payment in exchange for a "valid ownership tag" in the file, which would be playable without the tag. [2]
