Remember when we were young and it seemed we were constantly getting gold stars, awards and certificates? Well why the heck does that have to stop just because we’re adults?

 

In fact, being an adult is trickier than being a child. We have work, responsibilities, WRINKLES!

So we said a big hooray for the designer that’s created empowering “awards” badges for grown-ups – called Everyday Bravery Pins.

 

These cute little pins pack a big punch, with awards for beating cancer, putting yourself first, and ignoring the haters. And as the name suggests, they simply celebrate everyday bravery: those difficult things we do every day to remain true to ourselves.

The pins are made by Emily McDowell, who also designs a whole host of other tongue-in-cheek, yet honest and powerful cards and gifts.

 

And the good news? She ships internationally, so you can wear your badass choices with pride on your jacket, or bag, or wherever you damn well please!
