The Octoplush collectible is now available in the GitHub Shop, offering a unique gift option for friends and family, although buyers are humorously advised not to feed these already "stuffed" octocats. In celebration of its launch, the GitHub Shop is offering a 30% discount on all items using the discount code OCTOCYBER2016, along with a promotion of free shipping for orders exceeding $30, valid until Tuesday. This promotion and product release were announced by Brandi Firestine.
