The Gap may have sold out of the $29 blue summer dress that Michele Obama wore that made the news (although the matching skirt and vest are still available), but as long as you’re thinking of the Gap, here are some other choices from The Gap that are on sale–and help out some causes which are near and dear to the First Lady’s heart (trust me, she’d much rather you buy these than that blue dress!)

A few Thanksgivings ago, I highlighted the FEED Bag, a burlap shopping bag that you could reuse to help the environment and which also helped children in developing areas. Now, the Gap has three very stylish bags (much more stylish than the old burlap bags) on sale. $5 of the purchase price of these bags go to help improve school food and nutrition information, two causes which Ms. Obama has been very vocal about.

This beautiful Gap Feed USA bag comes in White Canvas Tote and blue Denim Bucket Tote. The white bag is made in the USA, while the denim bags are imported.

It’s that time of year again! Gap is having its “Friends and Family” promotion. Friends and family of Gap employees, Gap Card holders, and select customers will be able to generate coupon codes for you which will take 30% off any online purchase from August 26 – August 29. In addition, 5% of the purchase will go to a great non-profit organization.

If you can’t find someone to generate you a coupon code to buy online, you can get the same 30% off by visiting a Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Banana Republic Factory Store, or Gap Outlet and bringing a printed copy of one of these coupons:

• Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: http://www.gapinc.com/giveandget/lls/
• World Wildlife Fund: http://www.gapinc.com/giveandget/wwf/
• Teach For America: http://www.gapinc.com/giveandget/teachforamerica/

Every quarter the Gap runs one of these great programs. Use the coupon below to save 30% off any purchase in-store. In addition to you saving 30%, the Gap will donate 5% to a charity, in this caes the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. It’s the perfect time to do back-to-school shopping, or to stock up on great gifts you’ll be able to give for the rest of the year.

 But hurry, the coupon is good only from now until Sunday!

Here’s a great deal if you’ll be shopping at the Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic and their outlet stores. (This is good in stores only, not online).

A bonus is that in addition to you saving 30%, 5% of the proceeds will go to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Teach For America, or Feeding America. But hurry! You have until Sunday March 15th to print and use the coupon!

This fashion season, The Gap introduced a line of stylish clothes to support (PRODUCT) RED, where half the proceeds of all sales go to helping fight AIDS and hunger in Africa.

On The Gap’s site this week, a number of these very fashionable items just had their prices slashed, as The Gap is probably trying to clear away inventory to make way for spring. What this means is these top-quality clothes can be yours for a fraction of the price people were paying for them just last week.

Hurry up and get these (as a gift for others or for yourself) before they go out of stock!

The Gap (PRODUCT) RED™ heather gray cashmere V-neck sweater you see above will keep your hands toasty warm and stylish. The luxurious sweater is only $49.99, a huge discount from its original price of $128.00.
