Pink Bowls for a Cure

October 22nd, 2007 · Amazon, Breast Cancer, National Breast Cancer Foundation

pink bowlsIf you’re like me, you could always use a set of bowls for mixing, stirring, tossing, whipping, and serving.

Zak Designs has a great set of nesting bowls in various shades of pink. The largest bowl is light pink, and the six additional bowls darken until the smallest, a deep magenta.

The bowls are made of melamine, so they’re durable and dishwasher-safe (although not meant for microwave or oven use).  

The six bowls are sized as follows: 4.5 quarts, 2.3 quarts, 1.3 quarts, 22-ounces, 10 ounces, and 2.3 ounces. They nest together for easy storage.

For each set sold, Zak! Designs donates a portion of the proceeds to benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

October 18th, 2007 · Amazon, Breast Cancer

pink watchI looked at a couple pink watches for breast cancer awareness, and none of them seemed to be very attractive.

This Nautica pink watch box set stands apart. Nautica will donate $65,000 from the proceeds to a breast cancer awareness charity.

With the box set, you get two colors of smooth leather bands, white and pink.

You also get two choices for bezels (the ring that goes around the watch), stainless steel for more casual occasions, or a glamorous jewel-embedded option for more formal occasions.

The metallic dial is imprinted very subtly with ribbon logos. Silver-tone hour markers and black minute indicators bring out the metallic allure of the luminescent hour hands and pink seconds hand.

Support breast cancer awareness, and get a stylish watch at the same time.
