Foxy Blunt

I don't remember the first time I saw Foxy Blunt greeting cards, only that it was love - and laughter - at first sight. Love for the style -- just look how foxy:




And laughter for the specificity and honesty:





Their website best describes the philosophy behind Foxy Blunt:

"Simply put, Foxy Blunt is a new line of greeting cards that deliciously fuses bold designs with devilish humor...

They are not for the faint of heart, nor for those who genuinely tear up at phrases like “reach for the stars.” They remind us to not take life – or ourselves – too seriously. They let us say we care without gagging. And most importantly, they give us the freedom to be witty without sacrificing our killer style."

Awesome is learning about the cards.
More awesome is acquiring them.
Most awesome is giving them away.
(I can only imagine the level of awesome in receiving.)

Imagine my excitement in receiving a boxed set at the Social Luxe Lounge party in NYC in August. I did one of those "SQUEEEE!" things I keep reading about but never actually do.

Imagine my delight in making contact with Danielle Caro, Foxy Blunt co-founder along with Jennifer Morrison, finding that she is all kinds of awesome and eager to let me give away not just one but TWO box sets to you, my readers.

Before we get to the giveaway, I just have to share one more thing with you (as if you needed another reason to adore this company):

Imagine the impact when I learned of a new card available as Foxy Blunt uses their power for good in partnering with the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) to raise money to . . . well, here, have a look:



October, which is also National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is practically upon us, and 50% of proceeds from the sale of this card go directly to YSC. I asked Danielle to tell me more about the motivation to be involved with YSC, and the quality of her answer is something I cannot duplicate, so here, her own words:

"The story behind our partnership with them is a simple one: Jen and I are both passionate supporters of breast cancer research and have unfortunately been the frustrated bystanders as someone close to us prepares to battle it. After standing helplessly by struggling to find a way to support, to empower (and watching someone close to us be unexpectedly diagnosed with ovarian cancer at just 25) we decided to create a card that will not just raise money, but will also act as support for those affected. It uses our signature humor to bring a smile to the face of someone recently diagnosed, and to underscore that they have the strength to beat cancer. We decided to partner with the YSC specifically because those women need a voice – they are underdiagnosed, undertreated and underacknowledged, yet more and more women under 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer. Our entire line is really about giving women a voice and saying the things we all want to say but don’t, so to us this was another opportunity to do that for a group of women who really need the attention. We’re donating 50% of the proceeds directly to YSC, so the more cards we can sell, the better! The card will be available for purchase October 1."

Incredible. I love this company.

***Disclaimer: As a VIP guest of the Social Luxe Lounge Party I received a boxed set of Foxy Blunt greeting cards. Even so, I was/am under no obligation to write about this product. I just really, really dig it. And that's why I write: to share with you. I was not paid money for this review.***

Thanks, Foxy Blunt! Good luck, everyone!
