The MathOverflow Foundation has given Stack Exchange permission to print and ship (at our expense) free gifts for outstanding users of the site that want them, or that will be attending conferences where the items can be used to help promote the site. I'm very pleased to announce the immediate availability of the following items:
MathOverflow mugs for your favorite tasty beverage:
MathOverflow shirts, because some stores require you to wear shirts:
MathOverflow stickers, because blank spaces are boring:
How do I get some of these wonderful items, you ask? It's simple, but varies depending on why you want them.
###For Conferences Or Events###
For Conferences Or Events
Please take a moment and fill out the following form, and we'll get in touch with you through the email address that you provide. Generally, we just need some evidence that the conference is something legitimate, and be certain that you understand that the items must be provided completely free of charge. Give us as much advanced notice as possible, preferably 30 days or more.
###I use the site, and would just like a mug, please!###

Normally, the system contacts users once they reach certain reputation thresholds and offers them some items. We're not doing that here, because that's not a very good mechanism for this community - many here would rather not have rep.
If you're an established user that has:
- Been a member in good standing for at least six months
- Have at least several posts with a score above 3
- A desire for stuff
Then simply fill out this form, and allow six to eight weeks for delivery. I'm trying to keep the criteria as loose as I possibly can, I just want to make sure that folks receiving this stuff have actually made (and will hopefully continue to make) valuable contributions to this site, without relying on your level of reputation. Exceptions can be made on advice from your moderators.
You can request any (or all) of the items above, as well as some extra stickers from other sites that you might use.

Contact me directly via email (it's in my profile) to let me know, and I'll take care of it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments below. I think these turned out very nicely, and I hope you're as excited as we are!
Update
I'll be allowing a few more days to compile responses from folks so we can get as many as possible out in one swoop, these will be shipped near the end of this week.
Second Update
What we had in stock went for sponsorship of ICM 2014, which came together at the very last minute. We should have more printed and available in the next few days, at which point we'll have this all shipped out. Sorry for the delay all, it really was a last-minute opportunity or I would have waited to post this.
