WHO WE ARE
Lux Lifestyle was established in 2022 to support foster care teens and the workers who support them. The company was started by Jenny Cotton, who decided to create a sustainable solution to the challenges and issues within the foster care system. By donating 100% of the profit from our gift boxes, we strive to illuminate current issues in the foster system, increase awareness for these issues, and enact change. Lux Lifestyle is especially focused on helping foster teens transition to independent living by providing them with the tools, resources, support, and encouragement they need to do so.
We are a community-centric company. This means that we are conscientious of all parties involved in our process, from those within the foster system to gift purchasers and their recipients. We are intentional in both facets of our gifting, as we curate beautiful gifts and decide which foster causes to support. Lux Lifestyle also strives to form a community: a bond between our clients purchasing gifts as they work toward a common goal together, and a bond based on care between these clients and those within the system benefitting from their support. To stay updated on the work we are doing, sign up for our email list.
Lux Lifestyle is also aware of the practical difficulties of gift-giving, which is why our unique gift boxes are thoughtfully curated, seasonal, and sustainably sourced. Each gift also contains a mindset and wellness component so that each gift recipient can feel cherished and cared for by their giver.
With each purchase made—and each box gifted—you can be a change-maker for those who need it. Learn more about how we are currently supporting those within the foster care system here.
OUR MISSION

As we strive to prepare teens in foster care for independent living, we offer gifts that are not only beautiful but meaningful for the recipients. Each client can feel confident in their purchase, knowing it is responsibly sourced.
MEET JENNY
Jenny Cotton is the founder and heart behind Lux Lifestyle. After witnessing the brokenness of the foster care system time and again—she has family members who work in the system and volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate—she started brainstorming ways to enact sustainable change. Combining this cause with her passion for intentional gift giving, she started the company in 2022 to illuminate issues and provide those within the foster care system with support.
“I wanted to be able to contribute in some way to helping teens in foster care get better resources, support, and encouragement. This was my way of not only bringing attention to the need but also finding a way others could easily contribute to a solution.” ~Jenny Cotton
Jenny is an Atlanta native who has been working in higher education, specifically Housing, and Residence, for the past twenty years. She and her husband, Ardi, and German Shepherd, Ava, split their time between Atlanta, GA, and Santa Clara, CA.
