This decorative butter bell keeps one stick of butter fresh and spreadable. L.Tremain is donating $2.50 for every pink crock purchased to the Living Beyond Breast Cancer Foundation.

These little steel wool soap pads are an inexpensive and practical way to clean grill grates before the next backyard barbecue. Brillo will make a donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, a minimum of $25,000, up to $50,000, when shoppers buy specially marked products.

4. Presto 6-Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker

5. For the Girls Windchimes
Add some whimsy to the porch or soothing sounds to the garden with these pale pink windchimes. The 25-inch windchimes, $49, and 34-inch windchimes, $65, both feature five tubes and a wooden pendant accent with the phrase "for the girls" printed in script.

Breast Cancer Support Shopping Tips
With the growing selection of pink products, it is important to see what type of donations the companies offer. Check the product label or company website for additional information about which organization the company supports and how much money it donates. Some companies do not donate anything unless customers mail in proof purchase. Others donate based on the sale of specially marked packages.
