Cyber Monday fail? Turn that frown upside, people, because I’ve got just the thing to cure that online shopping fever. So, go get your Snuggie on, sit by the fire, and grab your cup of coffee or hot cocoa because I have some amazing eBay Charity Auctions (Thank you, hard-working friends at Kompolt!) to tell you all about.
The Nike Pro Combat Uniform Locker Auction. I’m told there are some big college football games coming up. Something about bowls? Who knows. One thing’s for sure, it’s the perfect time to show your support for your favorite college football team by bidding on custom designed lockers that are school specific and chock full of Nike goodies. So, which charity does it support? Each team picked their own benefiting charity. Nice work, boys! The auction location? www.ebay.com/nikeprocombat
Cori Vallembois, Program Director of Food on Foot, tells me Carter Bays (creator of How I Met Your Mother) "has been an $84 club member since 2003!"
The Mandy Moore & Molly Sims Auction. Hottie alert! Take your pick of two amazing VIP experiences – a day in the studio with Mandy Moore or a shopping and styling session with Molly Sims. You’ll enjoy spending time with these gorgeous gals even more knowing where your money goes. So, which charity does it support? The awesome aids-fighting organization YouthAIDS. The auction location? www.ebay.com/youthaids
A How I Met Your Mother Walk On Role. You know How I Met Your Mother is a funny show. But, I’ll bet you didn’t know that HIMYM’s creator has been a huge supporter of an LA-based charity, Food on Foot, for over 7 years! Wow. Talented, hilarious, and charitable? Sounds like a triple threat of goodness to me! So, which charity does it support? Food on Foot, an organization providing for LA’s homeless & poor. The auction location? www.ebay.com/foodonfoot
Variety’s Power of Youth Auction. While the event may be over (my recap video coming soon! 
), there are still tons of crazy cool items up for grabs – including dance lessons with Harry Shum Jr. of Glee, autographed memorabilia from The Twilight Saga, and VIP tickets. So, which charity does it support? LA’s BEST and Starlight Foundation, two charities that are doing amazing things for young kiddos. The auction location? www.ebay.com/powerofyouth
The Dalai Lama & One of the Guitars
Guitars Signed by Nobel Peace Prize Winners. Each guitar is hand painted and signed by 10 Nobel Peace Laureates including The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. There’s something spectacular about the combining the universal language of music with people doing so much good for the world. So, which charity does it support? PeaceJam Foundation. The auction location? www.ebay.com/peacejam
So, there you have it. Your chance to get one more step closer to Santa’s Nice List this Holiday Season is just a few bids away. Make your clicks count!

Whether you like to admit it or not, you’re a total Glee fan. Let’s face it, you plan your entire Wednesday around that one hour of musical delicious-ness, and you watch each week’s coming-soon clip on repeat. Gleek Nation – listen up! It is time to put down that hairbrush microphone, pause your iTunes track of ‘Defying Gravity’, and head over to eBay for the Glee VIP Experience Charity Auction!
Our friends over at Kompolt get all the cool auctions. The VIP Experience for four gets you a meet and greet with the cast, lunch with the Executive Producer and two members of the cast, and an autographed item from the cast. Hurry over to bid, there are only two days left to make your Glee dreams come true!
But wait, there’s more. The experience gets even more gleeful because all the proceeds go to a fabulous organization, The Young Storytellers Foundation. You’ve heard of them! They’re the ones working to improve the lives of elementary school children by increasing literacy, building self-esteem, and celebrating each child’s creativity through mentoring the children in the art of storytelling.
So go on, check out the auction, spread the word, and put your Glee obsession to use for a great cause! Don’t worry, I’m not judging, I’m an open and proud Gleek myself.
