For those people on your list who already have everything, Strangercrombie has tons of stuff you simply can’t get anywhere else: For example. Randy Cohen—AKA the Ethicist—untangles ethical dilemmas every week in the New York Times Magazine, and the winner of the Ethicist Package will be able to send the celebrated Ethicist any ethical dilemma and have him respond to it personally! So far this priceless experience is available for a mere $21!
Don’t forget: On Friday, December 16, we’re throwing a holiday party for all the auction winners (and all our loyal readers) at the Showbox with Wheedle’s Groove, Band of Horses, Fruit Bats, Common Market, Dina Martina, and more holiday hoopla than you can shake a reindeer at (7 pm, free for Strangercrombie auction winners/$7 for everyone else, 21+).
