I found this GNOME store http://www.zazzle.com/gnome
actually we can buy all kinds of GNOME clothes, even for babies ;)
they have gnome mugs too.
For the price plus shipping maybe it's a bit high for Asians.
how about we find a company similar to zazzle that can help us to do the 
Asian market?
it would be nice to know how it works for gnome and zazzle? what's the 
co-operation like.
then we can start to source in India and China ;)
