Until now, many of the Hurricane Sandy-related shopping stories were ones about major brand fails. Luckily, plenty of brands are doing the opposite of the American Apparel approach and donating money to Hurricane Sandy relief groups like the Red Cross.

Some (like Target and Kohl's) just made big donations, others, like Dannijo and Gilt City, are donating a share of their sales for the next few days, and still others like eBay are letting you clean out clutter and help those in need at the same time.

BaubleBar: For every $10 Buried Bauble purchased, the company will donate $10 to the American Red Cross. [Update: Bauble Bar has reached their donation limit]

Courtshop: Take 20% off the entire site plus free shipping. 10% of proceeds go to the Red Cross.

eBay: Buy products from nonprofits donating to Sandy relief, or volunteer to give a percentage of items you're selling.

Ferragamo: A percentage of proceeds from sales made at US Ferragamo stores and on ferragamo.com go to the American Red Cross, through Sunday.

Gilt City: 30% of profits from New York City sales until Sunday for relief.

Dannijo: 20% of all sales made at Dannijo.com to the American Red Cross through Sunday.

Kohl's: They've donated $1 million to the American Red Cross.

Penfield: $10 from every order goes to the Red Cross.

ThredUP: The new online consignment shop allows you to sell stuff you have lying around your house and donate some or all of the proceeds to the Red Cross via the Hurricane Sandy Relief Group.

Target: They have donated $500,000 to the American Red Cross, plus $50K to the Salvation Army.
