Okay. Advise me.

I have a few more ARCs to give away, and I'm stumped. So how should I give them away? (Hint: saying "give them to me" will actually not endear you, unless you finish that sentence with "I do all the buying for a major bookstore" or something similar, and can present credentials.) Have you got a favorite review site? Have I missed a contest? Should I abandon them on BART cars? What?

Propose anything. I am open to the crazy.

EDIT: So it's said, the "abandon on BART cars" option was a joke. I won't do anything that involves releasing ARCs into the wild, outside the bounds of the standard social contract, with no idea where they went. Not okay.

Do you think they'd make good donations, even after the book is out?

Yes, I think they would. A signed ARC of your first book? Collector value at least (as you point out they are rather fragile for reading copies, but collectors rarely read the books they collect, they keep them in a controlled environment in an inert atmosphere or something).
