Cancer survivors, cancer patients, and their loved ones appreciate an ocean of pink ribbons worn to support their cause and cancer research. If your little pink ribbon has seen better days, replace it with one of these more durable items:

1. Clothing

With a pink-ribbon embellished t-shirt, baseball cap, or fitted vest, you won’t have to worry about safety-pins or stickers. These quality items include embroidered or screen-printed designs that often have a slogan along with the pink ribbon.

You can even find the pink ribbon on a cute pair of argyle socks!

2. Jewelry

Instead of a fragile ribbon made of satin, why not use one of the more durable cancer pins? Affordable versions are made in gold with sparkling pink crystals, while higher end pieces use genuine pink sapphires.

Pink ribbons are also available as earrings, pendants, and charms. If you have a proud cancer survivor in your circle of friends, either choice makes a perfect gift for any occasion.

3. Water Bottles

Cool off after you support the cause at a local walking or running event with your pink ribbon decorated water bottle. If you have a team of walkers, order one for each member to show your appreciation for their efforts.

4. Kitchen Items

Fill the kitchen of your favorite cancer survivor with baking items decorated with the cheerful pink ribbon. Choose from measuring spoons to make sure your special treats come out just right!

If you’d like to recruit a few new supporters, handing out cookies shaped like pink ribbons complete with a coating of pink frosting would definitely get your message across. Cupcakes presented in pink-ribbon-covered baking cups will also be an instant hit.

5. Rubber Stamps

Although regular mail is grinding slowly to what may eventually be an actual halt, many offices and homes still place a few random envelopes in the mailbox. Why not make filling in the return address easy and show your support for the cause at the same time?

Rubber stamps are available for home or office use with your return address and the pink cancer ribbon. If you have a stockpile of pre-printed envelopes, you can always order a stamp with just the pink ribbon icon and one of the popular cancer fighting logos. Don’t forget some bright pink ink while you’re at it!

6. Tattoos

If you’ve just found out your cancer is in remission, why not celebrate with a permanent reminder of just how lucky you are and how important cancer research continues to be? Many cancer survivors and their loved ones consider a pink-ribbon tattoo to be the best way to show their lifelong commitment to fighting this terrible disease.

To make your tattoo even more special, why not add the remission date as well? If you’re not excited about another needle, there are several versions of pink-ribbon temporary tattoos to try on. Who knows? After wearing one of these, you might change your mind and get inked permanently.

Whether you choose one of these lovely items for yourself or someone special, it shows how much you care! What’s your favorite way to show your commitment to a worthy cause?
