Raising the Bar

I don’t think there can ever be too much hope in the world. Especially when it comes to things like breast cancer. Skin- and body-care company Lather is helping to spread a little of that positive thinking with its Soap for Hope Gift Set ($20). Included in the set are a natural wood soap dish and two bars of Sandalwood Rose Soap, an olive oil–based soap infused with rose petals, rose absolute oil, and sandalwood oil. For every set sold, $12 goes to the breast-cancer program at City of Hope, a Los Angeles–area medical and research institution designated a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. The soap is also sold by the bar ($8), with $5 from each sale going to City of Hope.

Soldier Soother

Skincando’s Combat-Ready Balm soothes everything from sunburn and dry skin to razor burn and sand-flea bites, which is why U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are big fans of the product. From now through December 25, you can donate a two-ounce jar of the cream to a solider and get another sent to you, all for $12.50. It’s a small way to say thank you to the men and women making big sacrifices for our country.
