TV Anime:
The official website of the XXXHOLiC anime has been slightly updated with the announcement of the 2nd Season and a bigger version of the promotional picture. No words on beginning of broadcast yet.
Featuring CLAMP:
A special talk between Ageha Ohkawa and game-creator Ryukishi07, creator of the popular Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series, will be published in the new anime/game magazine ran by Ichijinsha, Chara☆Mel. The talk will be carried in issue VOL. 2, out on September 25th.
I'm really curious about this talk. Ohkawa's favorite genre is suspense and Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is about cute children dealing with mysterious murdering. It'll be an interesting talk xD
DVD:
Apart from the 248-pages long special Booklet and Box drawn by CLAMP, purchasers of the limited edition of CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 1&2 1989～2006＜PRECIOUS BOX＞ are also going to get an exclusive and early promotional card of CLAMP in CARDLAND.

As it was announced months ago, on September 25th the final DVD of the first season of Code Geass will be released. A special Box drawn by CLAMP to hold all 9 Volumes will come with it, and Amazon.co.jp has got a preview of the Box:
Pretty illustration, but I confess I am slightly disappointed with it.
Thanks to clamp_now for this tip.
CLAMP in CARDLAND:
Apart from the promotional cards coming with the DVD and CD of CLAMP IN WONDERLAND 2, a third promotional card is scheduled to come with the first Tsubasa TOKYO REVELATIONS OAD. The promotional card illustration will be the same as of the Box illustration.
