We love these products, and we hope you do too. E! has affiliate relationships, so we may get a small share of the revenue from your purchases. Items are sold by the retailer, not E!.

As the pandemic continues on, and more and more people are in need, some amazing brands are stepping up to lend support and give back! 

For example, Khloe Kardashian's Good American is offering a 30% off sale with a portion of proceeds going to Baby2Baby, an organization dedicated to providing children living in poverty with the necessities every child deserves. Kim Kardashian's shapewear line SKIMS is also donating, with 20% of all proceeds from the Cotton Collection to Baby2Baby. And Crocs launched "A Free Pair for Healthcare," offering healthcare workers across the country the opportunity to get a free pair of shoes of select styles while supplies last, with free shipping. They'll also be donating up to an additional 100,000 pairs of shoes to be distributed across a number of select healthcare facilities and organizations.
