GIFTS Visit the Circus of Cancer gift shop to see a smattering of presents specifically designed to make the cancer patient in your life smile. You'll see t-shirts, a tote bag, a coffee mug and a hat and nothing costs more than $14.00.


HATS and such
Founded by a breast cancer survivor, Head Covers sells stylish hats, turbans, scarves, and wigs for women. The hat selection is huge including berets, baseball hats, cowboy hats, soft turbans for sleeping and tons of cute hats for every season.

MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS

Stay aware from beauty magazines, which almost always have articles about hair mentioned on the cover. Some all purpose magazines that will keep her mind elsewhere are National Geographic, Smithsonian, Parents, O Magazine, Reader's Digest, The New Yorker, Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly. For magazines that might match one of her hobbies, try www.magazines.com


MAKE UP and BATH SUPPLIES
Avon has it all for great prices, and they are known for their reliable support to the breast cancer community. Also, Sephora aggregates all beauty products and even has a GIFT IDEAS link from the home page.

KNITTING SUPPLIES
If she's a knitter, you can order patterns and the best designer yarns online.

TV and MOVIES
Your pal may spend a lot of time recovering from chemo in front of the television. If you live nearby, you can check out DVDs from the library (but remember, you'll have to return them to the library a couple days later!) Subscriptions to netflix or a couple new DVDs can make that time much more enjoyable.

You might also send your friend a pack of gift certificates to AMC Theaters, so she can head to the movies whenever she needs an escape. You can even buy her certificates for concessions, like popcorn and soda.

PAJAMAS
For pajamas and slippers, I recommend Sleepy Heads for great prints and choices and PajamaGrams for their adorable packaging.

FLOWERS
A woman can never get enough flowers, especially during long stretches of treatment where she may feel forgotten. ButterfieldÕs Blooms has gorgeous bouquets for about $80. For something more affordable, try FTD.

GENERAL
Red Envelope sells all kinds of lovely gifts at a wide range of prices. I especially like their jewelry selection.
