Think Pink: 10 products to support breast cancer awareness
This story first appeared on Babble and is reprinted with permission.
October is by far our favorite month. In addition to Halloween, National Taco Day, and the flourishing of the fall season, it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and that's a cause we're always ready to get behind.
In 2015, there are more than 2.8 million women with a history of breast cancer in America, and too many of us have a story about ourselves or a loved one who has been affected by this disease. That's why we're taking this month to share some opportunities to give back, and give back in style.
Here, Babble pulled together 10 of our favorite products to support Breast Cancer Awareness. Shop with care, shop to help end cancer.
1. Butterfly Notecards
We're always on the search for new stationary, so when we saw these beautiful White House Black Market notecards and found out they supported Breast Cancer Awareness, we were totally sold. $5 of each purchased set is donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer.
2. 1:Face Breast Cancer Unisex Digital Watch
Hot pink, unisex, and uses profits to help provide mammograms to women in need? Brb, buying these watches for everyone in our family.
3. Pink Power Invisibobble
The functionality of this innovative hair tie is matched only by the incredible cause it supports. The signature Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon is looped inside the tie, in a great symbol of Invisibobble's collaboration with Breast Cancer Now.
4. Carolee Flower Clip On Earrings
While we always want to show support, we have to admit that sometimes Breast Cancer Awareness' signature pink hue just doesn't match! These elegant, approachable earrings are just as supportive of the cause, with $5 from each purchase going to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
5. Bianca Milov Bee Necklace
In addition to being subtle, chic, and the perfect addition to almost any outfit, this necklace packs a charitable punch. 100 percent of proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for the month of October. Now that's a cause to "bee" excited about.
6. Extreme Dark Truffle Bar
We'd be surprised if this chocolate bar, of which 100 percent of the proceeds go to charity, even made it to the cupboard. With such a rich flavor, and such a great cause, we're tempted to just gobble it down and order some more!
7. Tory Burch Ramble On Rose Lipstick
Now this is a pink worth rocking. Tory Burch is donating 20 percent of the proceeds from this limited-edition lip color to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which means you never need to feel guilty about your purchase.
8. Breast Cancer Awareness Unstoppable Tee
We're all about the loud, proud message of this tee, and we're certainly all about the 10 percent proceeds towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
9. Tommy Bahama Garden of Hope and Courage Camp Shirt
Get the guys in on the shopping, too! If there's one thing we've learned from years of buying the men in our lives presents, they absolutely love Tommy Bahama. The brand donates a portion of the proceeds from the shirt to the Garden of Hope and Courage, in Naples, Florida.
10. Evelyn Candle Holder
Just get a look at that beautiful pink! Named after Evelyn Lauder, who helped popularize the pink ribbon for Breast Cancer Awareness, this beautiful candle holder also sends 10 percent of proceeds to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
