We're seeing multiple gift threads daily again, so here's a thread for them!

edit - I'll be working on the 2024 challenge thread in the coming weeks, so if your favorite teacher is doing one, feel free to modmail a link.

Copypasta from the previous thread:

Mat megathread

Search, 'gift'

Please put all the giftygoodness here - other posts will be removed.

Obligatory 'plz to not spam' statement:

If you're here to post your store and your post history does not fall within reddit's 10:1 rule, it will be removed. Spam is STILL crazy. If it's blatant, Bad Santa(yogi?) has a bag of coal.

As always, no referral or shortened links. Amazon links must be just to the item - please nuke anything after the base product info. I've broken this down elsewhere, but here's a quick reference. Shortened links (amzn.to, etc) are automatically removed by reddit.

Here's an amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/Ashtanga-Yoga-Practice-David-Swenson/dp/1891252089/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?crid=2C20AQX6WCFS8&keywords=david swenson ashtanta&qid=1702313182&sprefix=david swenson ashtanta,aps,197&sr=8-1-fkmr0

You'll notice that there's a structure - the address, a bit of a description (Ashtanga-Yoga-Practice-David-Swenson), then the code /dp/ and an item code, in this case 1891252089. Everything after that item code is unnecessary and should be removed from your link when you paste it into your comment/post. So the 'cleaned up' link for the above is:

https://www.amazon.com/Ashtanga-Yoga-Practice-David-Swenson/dp/1891252089
