EAST VILLAGE—Little E.9th Street vintage-and-modern boutique Duo is offering a special tsunami relief promotion all month. Buy the limited-edition bracelet by Nishi ($55) or the bronze amulets by Talon ($250), and they'll give 100% of proceeds to the Red Cross. [Racked Inbox]

GARMENT DISTRICT—Hot off the Facebook wire comes this extremely important update about the nOir jewelry sale: "GREAT deals to be had and a sample sale cat overseeing the whole thing." Come to think of it, cats, unlike babies, actually make a lot of sense at sample sales: They're wily, they're brilliant at avoiding getting stepped on, and they love nothing more than sitting in boxes.
