Now that I film <a href="https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/712844/today-im-toying-with">Today I'm Toying With</a>, a video series where I share the joy of tech, I get that question more than ever.</p> <p class="has-text-align-none wp-block-paragraph">The answer is<strong> <em>no</em>, we don't keep them</strong>! <a href="https://www.theverge.com/ethics-statement">Our ethics policy</a> is clear: "We don't accept things of value from companies or from their PR firms, period." We don't keep them, we don't sell them, we don't pass them to family or friends. We try to return them, and if a company doesn't want them back, we give them away. But now we're going to <strong>give some of those unwanted gadgets to <em>you</em></strong><em>. </em></p> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <blockquote class="tiktok-embed" cite="https://www.tiktok.com/@verge/video/7644313746650713358" data-video-id="7644313746650713358" data-embed-from="oembed"> <section> <a target="_blank" title="@verge" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@verge?refer=embed">@verge</a> <p>Want to win robot toys, chargers, gaming g …</p></section></blockquote></div></figure> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/gadgets/1002523/today-im-toying-with-giveaway-free-gadgets">Read the full story at The Verge.</a></p>
