I think there is a lot of untapped potential in selling existing WM items to try and increase the average donation.
Not to mention the branding benefits -- and my Wikipedia bag has been a conversation starter a few times already.
I am constantly amazed at the quality of Wikimedian photography at the Commons and we could easily bundle, say, 10 super high quality images together in a ZIP and offer "10 free computer wallpapers".
This has worked well for a few webcomics artists: make a donation, get a wallpaper. Of course, given that all our content is out there anyway, people may feel a bit cheated if they don't get something exclusive.
