Great gift ideas from companies donating to Breast Cancer Awareness this October - by Gemma, one half of MotherShoppers

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. One in eight women will develop the disease in her lifetime, which means many of us will know someone going or having gone through it.

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness month with many brands creating special editions and donating sales to breast cancer charities, helping raise much needed funds. Many of these charities will have been badly hit by Covid-19.

I’ve rounded up a selection of gorgeous products, from socks to scents, that all go towards these vital charities work. Early Christmas presents maybe for the special women in your lives, or a treat to yourself!

Jo Malone will donate £20 from the purchase price of Peony & Blush Suede Cologne 100ml to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF). BCRF is dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. Get yours HERE

Jewellery brand Missoma have designed an exclusive limited edition t-shirt in partnership with CoppaFeel! for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and 50% of sales from each tee sold will go directly to support the charity. Missoma has also pledged to donate a minimum of £5,000 to CoppaFeel! Get your Tee HERE

Skate brand Vans are donating a minimum of $200,000 of their breast cancer awareness collection’s proceeds to CoppaFeel!, a UK-based organization dedicated to educating young people on boob checking, the signs and symptoms of breast cancer, and empowering them to speak up when any changes are noticed.
