There are literally a million reasons to love the Strangercrombie Holiday Auction, wherein a plethora of amazing, one-of-a-kind gift packages are sold to the highest bidder, with all proceeds going to one worthy charity. But one of the key reasons to love Strangercrombie is the uncanny way it takes fatal aim at the peskiest names on your holiday shopping list.

For example: Perhaps you spent the past weekend wondering, "What the hell am I going to get my snooty foodie sister who always complains how I never get her anything good?" Shut her face with the amazing gift pack, Ethan Stowell Cooks for You!

Seattle celebrity chef Ethan Stowell will cook dinner for you and five of your friends at Tavolata, and Mark Ryan Winery will pair Stowell’s creation with the perfect wine for maximum make-love-in-your-mouth enjoyment. PRICELESS! Current high bid: $417! (Participants must be 21 or older.)

Or perhaps you're looking for the perfect gift for your boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife, something that says, "I'm so lucky to have you, for you are my favorite person on earth." In which case, voila:

Seattle Art Museum Staycation!

One of the weird downsides to living in a great city is the propensity to forget you’re living in a great city. Smash that bad habit with this awesome, artsy Seattle weekend. First, get yourself settled at the new Four Seasons Hotel, where you’ll be granted luxury accommodations for two. Then get ready for an extravagant art bath at Seattle Art Museum, where SAM’s curator of American art Patti Junker will give you a private viewing of Edward Hopper’s Women, supplying you with an autographed catalog of the show and sending you away with a limited-edition print of the Hopper painting Chop Suey. Added bonuses: Yearlong SAM membership benefits for two (including unlimited free admission and invitations to exclusive member events). Wrap up your day with complimentary dinner for two at SAM’s TASTE restaurant. A $600 VALUE! Current high bid: $355!

Elsewhere in the expansive Strangercrombie catalog you'll find amazingly perfect gifts for your sulky niece, your favorite pothead, your sweet, shy, single sister, and your favorite Francophile.

Bidding continues till December 12 at 5 pm, and as I mentioned, all proceeds will be going to the deserving foster kids of Treehouse. And if bidding isn't your thing, feel free to donate directly to Treehouse via the PayPal button below. Anyone who donates $20 or more gets a lovely Stranger tote bag, filled with good karma.
