Oh, yes, it's nearly time. The bidding for Strangercrombie items will begin on Thursday, December 4th. The beneficiary this year is Treehouse, a very worthy charity that benefits foster children. You can learn more by reading Dominic Holden's lovely profile of the organization here.

Some of the packages you'll be able to bid on:

Patriotic Sex Pack!
This year’s presidential election ushered in the first President and First Lady worth wanking over since Kennedy’s Camelot. Celebrate your new Obama-infused horniness with this cavalcade of lust enhancements, including a $75 gift certificate to the Crypt, a $250 gift voucher to Taboo Video, a sexy personal illustration (perhaps of you getting it on with someone you like?) from the talented and discreet K.D. Boze, an artsy nude photograph from the 1970s (in a 18” by 14” frame) from the Anne Bonny, and a smashing gift package from Wild at Heart (including the Original I Vibe Rabbit vibrator, a container of O’My Natural lubricant, the Stories to Make You Blush book, and a $25 gift certificate). Plus, 4,000 lubricated latex condoms from Planned Parenthood! $1675 value! Starting bid: $1.99!

Follow the Herd to Portland
You know how everyone’s complaining about how all the smart, talented Seattleites are moving to Portland? Don’t knock it ‘till you’ve tried it! This package includes two Amtrak ticket vouchers to our flatter, whiter sister city and a two-night stay at Portland’s fabulous Ace Hotel. Maybe you’ll want to stay! Priceless! Opening bid: $1.99!

and

Date with Tilson
Tilson, the smooth-talkin’ ladies’ man from the Saturday Knights, takes you on a date you’ll want to tell the grandkids about (grandkids not included). The two of you will wine, dine, and get things cooking at a PCC cooking class, all while the gentlemanly MC regales you with his multiple award-winning repartee. Priceless! Opening bid: $1.99!

And there's so much more to come—we're still tallying up the totals, but we're pretty sure this is the biggest collection of Strangercrombie items we've had to date. Now is the time to get your bidding fingers ready, people.
