In a world that often overwhelms us with negativity and self-doubt, affirmation pins and buttons are small talismans that carry big messages. These pinback badges and enamel pins serve as portable, tangible reminders of self-love, resilience, and positivity. They make great gifts for yourself or a loved one who could use a mood boost.
In this guide, I'm highlighting some of my favorite affirmation buttons that I believe can help you to express your inner strength and worth. I've chosen designs that encourage self-care, boost confidence, and foster a culture of kindness and support. Many are created by artisans and small business owners who live with mental health conditions and want to lift up others who face similar challenges. Many are designed for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ folks who have been facing and fighting increased discrimination and oppression over the past few years. And if you like your motivation with a touch of humor, I've included some funny and sarcastic options, too!
