Alicia Keys, Michael Phelps, more auction off items on Giving Tuesday
Celebrities are getting in on the action for Giving Tuesday by auctioning off gifts and experiences on eBay’s charity shop.
Fans can bid for clothes off Alicia Keys’ back, a painted canvas print of Michael Phelps’ wingspan or two tickets to “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen.
Ilana Glazer of “Broad City” got extra hands-on with her charity item: She knit a scarf to auction off for the organization Worldwide Orphans. Glazer warned in a statement, however, that the scarf may not be conventionally beautiful.
“My mom taught me how to knit -- she knits these beautiful blankets and scarves, but I just can’t do it,” she said. “I can knit s***ty little scarves for chihuahuas. Luckily, I’ve found a higher purpose for them -- auctioning them off for worthwhile charities like Worldwide Orphans!”
Bidders on the Giving Tuesday shop’s items who don’t win still have the chance to nab a pretty cool prize: a free trip to Los Angeles for two along with a styling session with actress Rachel Bilson and more.
The auctions end in nine days, but as of Tuesday morning, many are still at $0.99 for gems like these patchwork jeans from Alicia Keys.
