I propose to move this discussion to the marketing list, and come back with a

Couldn't we classify the swag according to donation level and then whenever
someone donates let's say 20 euros they get a mug etc.

Why not setup an e-commerce site for people that want to purchase swag
outside of contests as their way of donating so to speak to the TDF.

I am versed in setting up word press as an E-Commerce Site, and can get it
to interface with the TDF's PayPal.

I had a thousand stickers produced last year. Was not difficult to 
distribute those (including FOSDEM).

Design here:

When I would order 10.000, the cost per sticker (for a batch of a 
certain amount, shipping included would be ):

AmountEuropeWorld
100   12  12
300   10,311
600   10,210,8
(Ordering 5000, would raise the price for one sticker app. 4 c)


And a small amount of mugs.
Design here:

Shipping of those is more expensive, so production best done 
local/regional, I guess.

Sure thing. We're mostly focused on prize-type items for the Triage
