Shop for fun and support breast cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), so you can shop-till-you-drop over the next few weeks and raise money for charity at the same time.


Origins will donate £2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation from every sale of its pink, limited-edition, Peace of Mind On-the-spot relief (£11), sold throughout the month.

The product draws on Origins’ natural heritage and is a best-seller for the brand, thanks to the powerful de-stressing properties in its key ingredients of basil, eucalyptus and peppermint oils.

Clinique is also marking the month by offering a limited edition BCAM Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 ‘pink ribbon charm'.

Three gorgeous shades of gloss come all together on this exclusive handy key chain, complete with a pink ribbon charm.

For each lipgloss key charm (£15) sold in Boots, £2 will be donated to the Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign.

Fashion chain Warehouse is supporting Breakthrough Breast Cancer, the UK’s leading breast cancer charity, by designing an exclusive hot pink T-shirt.

The T-shirt, which features a black bow print, has been designed exclusively by the Warehouse in-house design team and retails at £20, with a minimum £2 donation going to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The new Avon ‘Kiss Goodbye to Breast Cancer’ emery board is the perfect handbag accessory and Avon will donate 25 percent of the price directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The board costs £1.50 from www.avon.uk.com, with a 38p donation going to the charity.

And when you buy special BIC shavers, you'll be supporting the Pink Ribbon Foundation.

Limited-edition packs of five BIC Twin Lady shavers cost £1.79, with a donation being made to the charity.

Debenhams is also proud to be supporting BCAM and the charity Breast Cancer Campaign's ‘wear it pink' campaign.

It will be promoting the campaign with an exclusive range of limited-edition stylish T-shirts, designed by the Debenhams’ stable of design talent including Jasper Conran, Matthew WilliamsonMatthew Williamson, Betty Jackson, John Rocha and Julien MacDonald.

Plus there is also a range of special BCAM fund-raising lingerie, accessories and gifts for sale within the store.

A donation from every product sold will be given to Breast Cancer Campaign.

Tesco has a bright pink canvas shopper for sale at £4, with money going to Cancer Research UK, while M&S also has a distinctive BCAM shopper, with a striking ribbon print motif, for £19.50.

Shoppers are also being encouraged to join in with the BCAM ‘wear it pink' day on Friday, October 30.
