Jolly List is free to use. We pay for it through advertising and, in some cases, affiliate links. This page explains both so that you can judge our recommendations with full information.
On this page
Advertising
We show ads from Google AdSense. Ads are labeled "Advertisement" and appear in a limited number of fixed positions on article pages. We do not choose which advertisers appear and we do not endorse the products in ads. Advertisers cannot pay for placement in our editorial content. If you see an ad you believe is inappropriate or misleading, tell us through the contact page.
Affiliate links
Some product links on this site point to search results at Amazon. When an Amazon Associates tag is configured, we add it to those links, and we may earn a small commission from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. The site may or may not have a tag configured at any given time; this disclosure applies whenever one is present. We link to search pages, not specific listings, because prices, availability and sellers change and we want you to compare options.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
How money affects our content
It does not decide what we recommend. We choose gift ideas because they are useful to readers, and we describe categories and price ranges, not paid placements. We do not accept payment for a favorable mention. If we ever publish sponsored content, we will label it clearly at the top of the page.
Products we mention
When we mention a brand or product type as an example, it is because it is widely available or well known, not because we have been paid. We do not claim to have tested products unless we say so. Prices are typical ranges and may differ from what you see.
Why we disclose
We want you to know how the site works. Disclosure is also a requirement in many places: the US Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines call for clear disclosure of material connections, and the Amazon Associates program requires its own statement.
