The Kaeng Raeng Gifting Edit believes in complete transparency. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how they work, and how they support our mission to provide honest gift guides.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when you click through from our site to a retailer's site and make a purchase. If you buy through an affiliate link, the retailer gives us a small commission on that sale.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Creating quality gift guides takes time, research, and expertise. Affiliate commissions help us:
- Pay our writers and editors fairly
- Keep the site running and maintained
- Invest in better research and testing
- Stay independent (we don't accept payment to feature products)
How We Select Products
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Quality: We believe in the product's quality and value
- Relevance: The gift fits the occasion or recipient category
- Price: It offers genuine value at its price point
- Availability: It's currently available to Australian customers
- Retailer reputation: We trust the retailer
We do NOT select products based on commission potential. If a product doesn't fit the above criteria, we won't recommend it, even if it pays a higher commission.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
We disclose affiliate relationships clearly:
- Asterisks (*): Product links marked with an asterisk are affiliate links
- Label text: Some product recommendations include "affiliate link" or "sponsored" labels
- Disclaimer blocks: Guides include a note at the top or bottom explaining affiliate relationships
- Obvious context: If we link to a retailer's site to help you buy a product, it's likely an affiliate link

Your Privacy & Data
When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set cookies to track the referral. This is how they know to credit us with the commission. For details on what data is collected, please read:
- Our Privacy Policy — covers our practices
- The retailer's privacy policy — covers their practices (check their site)
Questions & Answers
Will my purchase cost more if I use your affiliate link?
No. You pay the exact same price. The retailer pays the commission, not you.
Do you only recommend products that are affiliate links?
No. Some product links may not be affiliate links, especially for smaller retailers or brands that don't have affiliate programs. We link to the best products regardless.
What if I disagree with a recommendation?
We'd love to hear your feedback. Contact us with your thoughts. All feedback helps us improve.
Do you accept payment to feature products?
No. We never accept payment from brands or retailers to include their products in guides. Our recommendations are editorial and independent.
Can I buy directly from retailers instead?
Of course! We provide links for convenience, but you can always search for products directly. Our goal is to help you find great gifts, however you choose to buy them.
Our Commitment
We're committed to transparency because it builds trust. We clearly disclose affiliate relationships, we only recommend products we genuinely believe in, and we never let commission potential influence our recommendations. If you ever feel an article is biased or product selection seems off, we want to know.
