Ascending Butterfly's 2011 Holidays Buying Guide, Giveaway #9 brought to you by:

Kids Corner: A Bear That Gives Back!

If you are anything like me and love to shop with conscience and buy from brands that give back, then I have the perfect shop-o-tunity for you!

Did you know that November is National Adoption Month?

Jockey Being Family Bear

About Jockey Being Family® Bear

• support newly adoptive families with the Jockey being family® bear
• the perfect adorable and cuddly gift
• lovable bear sure to bring a smile to any child's face
• approximate size: 11" x 5"
• for each bear sold, Jockey® will donate $3 to charities supporting adoption
• You can name your bear and get a personalized certificate!
• Fabric Content: All new materials stuffed with polyester fibers. To care for your bear: insert in pillowcase and wash in warm water & tumble dry low. Imported.
• This years bear comes with it's own backpack.

 My Take:

This bear is super soft and cuddly and has that 'heirloom' bear feel for a super affordable price. I love that the bear offers a chance to teach children about adoption, or makes a very memorable gift for an adopted child!

What I really love is that Jockey is donating one percent of all catalog and Jockey.com online sales, as well as 100 percent of sales from theirJockey Being Family® Bear in November to the Debra Steigerwaldt Waller Foundation for Adoption, which funds critical support for children and families after an adoption. By shopping at Jockey this November, together, we can help provide more support to families touched by adoption.

I can't think of a cuter face to see poking out of a Christmas Stocking this year!

You didn't think I'd forget about you right? Who loves you butterfly?
