Initially, I had no idea what to donate. And, I thought that other people might be similarly situated and need help generating ideas.
So, I turned to Facebook (my current favorite place for crowd-sourcing), the internet and my own imagination and here's what I came up with. I'm assuming that the auction organizers are trying to get donations directly from businesses, so this is a list of what I might want to do on my own (without donations from businesses).
Offer Your Service
- Offer whatever you do for a living (a free color consultation? Tax preparation? A will/trust?)
- Teach someone to knit
- Offer a night of babysitting
- Spa services
- A gift certificate to a restaurant
- Wine
- Olive Oil
- Soaps
- Handmade jewelry
- A knit hat
- A quilt
- A tin filled with cookies
- A weekend at your condo
- A few hours at your country club
- Tickets to a Cal game
- Tickets for one night of a lecture series or performance of some sort
- A basket of your kid's best hand-me-downs. Not the stained stuff, but the stuff that your kid never wore or grew out of before they had a chance to wear it
