Give back while you shop!!

Ever want to donate to a great cause but find yourself digging in your pockets looking for the extra cash that just never seems to turn up? Well here at the BJB we have several (yes several!) ways to give back while you shop for yourself! Not only do we donate to hundreds of charities and organizations nationwide every year, now you can help to!

PACT: www.wearpact.com Pact is a super soft organic clothing company that makes anything from socks and undies to leggings and clothes for that special bambino/a in your life. Each time your purchase something from PACT a portion goes back to helping low income entrepreneurs start their own small business (chant with me Bring back the mom and pops!!)  for spring 2013 portions went back to help build urban gardens (urban gardens are popping up everywhere these days, help those in need get clean fresh food) Pact helps with so many different things...check out their IMPACT section on their site!

Skyline socks: http://www.skylinesocks.com/  These super adorable socks which feature city skylines and other important landmarks in your area also give back. When you purchase a pair not only do they keep those tootsies of yours warm but also keep someone else's toasty too (remember winter is not so far away)


The West Is Dead: http://www.thewestisdead.com/  These awesome made in the USA digs not only look good on well...everyone but also help save the Buffalo!! Im sure you are thinking...we are in Greenwich, do you mean New York? No no no I mean that massive animal you can find out west. Each time you purchase something proceeds go back to saving the buffalo! TWID teamed up with the International Buffalo Council to reclaim the west!!!

TOMS: www.toms.com we couldn't forget America's favorite canvas classic, TOMS give back with one for one...each time you buy a shoe they give a shoe, each time you buy a pair of glasses they give glasses..


These are just a few ways to give back. It is so important to help out your fellow people...why not do it in style!!
