Awareness Gifts for Breast Cancer

When it comes to shopping for breast cancer awareness gifts, the possibilities are almost endless! Breast cancer awareness gifts always incorporate the pink ribbon in the design. These gifts range from jewelry to wall calendars, and stuffed animals to garden plagues.

One of the more popular breast cancer awareness gifts is the charm bracelet. There are literally hundreds of styles of breast cancer awareness charms. Some of the more upbeat styles include the super popular "flip flop". These adorable sandals are adorned with a pink ribbon and include pink Swarovski crystals or dainty freshwater pearls.

Another popular breast cancer awareness gift is the garden plague. These plagues are constructed from weather-resistant materials. A poem or words of encouragement are either engraved or painted onto the plague. These can then be placed in the garden or along a pathway.

Many breast cancer patients enjoy receiving breast cancer awareness planters and packets of seeds. The planters are either painted pink or have a pink ribbon painted on them. Oftentimes herb seeds or wildflower seeds are included so the recipient can plant a mini indoor garden.

Gift baskets filled with breast cancer awareness items make a perfect gift. These might include a pink coffee or tea mug with a pink ribbon painted on them, along with packets of green tea, a notepad, note cards, pens, pencils and breast cancer stamps. Gift baskets can also be filled with nutrient-rich foods such as dried apricots, cherries, or figs, almonds, and soy crisps.

There are many types of breast cancer awareness apparel including T-shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, baseball caps and visors. Some designs are simple and include only the pink ribbon. Others are elaborate and encrusted with Swarovski crystals and freshwater pearls or embellished with an embroidered design.

Stained glass suncatchers make an excellent breast cancer awareness gift. Suncatchers are perfect for individuals who are undergoing treatment in a hospital or confined to their home. Made from stained glass, they attach to a window using a small suction cup. When the sunlight hits them, they radiate a bounty of color throughout the room and are a real pick-me-up.

The pink ribbon honor tree is quickly becoming one of the most highly sought after breast cancer awareness gifts. This beautiful Cypress tree can be planted outdoors to honor the memory of a loved one or celebrate survivorship. A portion of the proceeds is donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation; a leading advocate for breast cancer research.

A vast majority of merchants that sell breast cancer awareness gifts donate a portion of the proceeds to breast cancer awareness. There are many wonderful gifts available through Internet merchants and in many of your favorite retail stores.
