October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you should already know by now that pink is the officially designated color for the cause. For 25 years now, people have been spreading awareness, supporting education, as well as celebrating the empowerment for breast cancer patients and survivors. When you wish to send a gift for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, consider the following suggestions:
1. Pink Jewelry
There are plenty of breast cancer ribbon jewelry options to consider for bracelets, necklaces, charms, pendants, and earrings, but wearing the recognized color for the cause makes just as much of a statement. Jewelry choices to consider include pink tourmaline, pink crystals, pink sapphires and pink pearls, as seen in the Pink Swarovski Pearl And Crystal Sterling Silver Drop Earrings.
2. Pink Pen
From scribbling their innermost thoughts to jotting down important notes, put a smile on a loved one’s face with a pink pen – and not just any pink pen. Choose a bold, brash pink with eye-catching sparkles or opt for an elegant writing pen with a pink plume or wispy feathers.
3. Pink Flip Flops
For a fun gift that also makes much more than a fashion statement, Pink Ribbon Flip Flops are an inspirational gesture for breast cancer patients and survivors. You may also give them as gifts for a sleepover of friends, wear them in solidarity for a loved one, or use for a breast cancer awareness fundraiser or event.
4. Breast Cancer Awareness Baking Set
For the loved one who likes frosting pink cupcakes and baking cookies dripping with pink icing, the Fox Run Breast Cancer Awareness Baking Set is just one of the many baking accessories and kits to consider. This particular set comes with two plastic ribbon shaped cookie cutters, white paper baking cups with pink ribbons, silicone spatula, and 4 in 1 breast cancer awareness sprinkles.
5. Pink Measuring Cups
For the cook in your life, gift the attractive KitchenAid Cook For The Cure Measuring Tool in pink. The set of four measuring cups and five measuring spoons is part of the Pink Cook For the Cure Collection and is made with high-impact resistant ABS for durability. During Breast Cancer Awareness month, KitchenAid donates 10% of retail cost to Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
6. Pink Kitchen Appliances
For family and friends that spend a lot of time in the kitchen, pink appliances make a thoughtful gift. For example, the KitchenAid KSM150PSPK Komen Foundation Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer offers 325 watts of power, 10-speed control panel, and a tilt-back head for easy access. A flat beater, dough hook, wire whisk, and pouring shield also accompanies this snazzy mixer. The Cuisinart CPT-140PK Electronic Cool-Touch 4-Slice Toaster
makes toast in style with four slice slots and touchpad controls with cancel, reheat, defrost, and bagel settings. Other features include LED indicator lights, slide-out crumb tray, and 9 browning levels. Additional pink appliances to consider include blenders and coffeemakers.


With flu season right around the corner, you may want to refresh your repertoire of gift ideas for loved ones battling sniffles, sneezing, coughing, aches and pains. The peak of flu cases begins in October and continues until April. It knocks children out of school and keeps adults from attending classes or going to work. To help pass the time and feel a bit of cheer, consider the following get-well gift ideas for flu season.
