Crowdsourcing Crassmas

If you are oviparous, like a Cod, or childless orphan, like the Cod's corporeal host, it can be hard to get sufficiently PUMPED and JACKED about Christmas. But we like to do what we can to help out, so now and again, we do the twelve or so days of Crassmas, where we highlight useless and overpriced (mostly) kitchen gadgets, and then suggest an alternate worthier destination for that $. We would like to resume this tradition, but need your help afflicting the comfortable and comforting the afflicted. If you are aware of a) worthless crap for sale, or b) worthy causes that could use a few bucks, do comment or holler at fesser of the gmail dot coms.

I really like charities that promote reading for kids, especially First Book (http://www.firstbook.org/) and the NOLA nonprofit STAIR: (http://www.stairnola.org/content/home.html).
