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.

TOYS and such for KIDS

lists of bestsellers.

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.
