Shopping for a Cure

Put Your Feet Up for the Cure. Apply Avon’s overnight treatment to hydrate feet and then snuggle your piggies in a pair of cute white socks with a pink trim for added hydration. One hundred percent of the net proceeds are donated to the Avon Breast Cancer Crusade.

Light a Candle to the Cure. Pier 1 Imports is donating 25 precent of the purchase price of their pretty 3 x 4" Floral Blossom pillar candle to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. It comes in a frosted glass holder with a flocked flower design and a Pink Ribbon pin. It makes a pretty gift to yourself and a great stocking stuffer (if you can think that far ahead!). Available in stores.

Dress Up for the Cure. Skip the plain white tee this fall and make a statement (literally and stylishly) with this cute shirt by Juicy Couture. One hundred percent of sales will benefit more than fifty charitable programs dedicated to finding new detection methods, treatments and, hopefully, a cure for women’s cancers through the Women’s Cancer Research Fund—so buy one for a friend too.

Eat to the Cure. There’s no sweeter way to show your support for the fight to end breast cancer than with a 7-ounce bag of delicious dark chocolate pink and white M&M’s. Only available online, you can choose from the pre-printed ribbon logo candies or you can create your own message and send a bag of sweets (and a truckload of support) to someone you admire.

Boob Up for the Cure. Give your boobs—and the fight against cancer—a little lift with this seamless lined bra by Wacoal. It has a cute ribbon and pearl detail at the bust, a tonal floral design, and wide straps to support your charitable mammaries. One dollar of every sale will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Rev Up for the Cure. If like me, you’ve been waiting for an excuse to buy yourself a BMW, you’ll be delighted to hear that Mercedes-Benz USA (MBUSA) has designed a special edition version of its all-new, eagerly awaited 2008 C350 Sport Sedan to raise funds for Saks Fifth Avenue’s Key To The Cure women’s cancer initiative.
