October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As the month comes to an end, show your support for Breast Cancer Charities, and get a jump on the holiday gift giving season in the process, but picking up a limited edition version of well-known iconic gifts.
What are holidays without Hummel? For generations families world-wide have pulled out themed German Hummel figurines to decorate for the holidays. The hand painted M.I. Hummel "Hope" Porcelain Figurine (left) is a tribute to those affected by breast cancer. It includes pink ribbon base, a nice little touch. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the "Hope" figurine will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
One of the most useful gifts for those celebrating a change in their professional life is the traditional Cross Pen. A perfect gift for fall graduations, promotions, or for the businessperson in your life. This Cross BCA Ballpoint Pen (right) has been fashioned after Cross' well-known, and much gifted, "Classic Century" Pen and features upscale details like chrome plating and pearlescent pink finish. Cross will donate 10% of every purchase to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
I can't talk about iconic gifts without mentioning the gift that defined my childhood: the Barbie Doll. This is the gift that has set little girls hearts aflutter for generations. Miss Barbie has received a pink makeover in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This collectible Pink Ribbon Barbie Doll (left), designed to make a contribution to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, wears a flowing pink gown accented with pink ruffles and a signature pink ribbon pinned on the shoulder. For each Pink Ribbon Barbie Doll sold $2.50 will be donated to the foundation, with a guaranteed minimum donation of $25,000.
For all of the little girls who grew up to be their own version of Barbie, there is a classic gift to celebrate the most girly of all women's "collectibles": shoes! This super cute Hamilton Collection "Hope" Shoe Figurine (right) is fashioned from sweet pink satin and adorned with carefully placed crystals and a crystal pink ribbon. It would look great on my bathroom shelf... now if it only came in size 8. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this collectible will be donated to charities that are working to eradicate breast cancer.
