Fancifull Baskets Thinks Pink this Mother's Day and Donates a Portion of Gift Sales to the Fight Against Breast Cancer

Fancifull Baskets of Hollywood is donating a portion of their Mother's Day sales to the fight against breast cancer. The money will help further research and pay for mammograms for those who can't afford them - important because early detection offers the best chance for survival. Look for the pink ribbon on selected gifts on their website.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) May 1, 2009 -- It is a year when everyone, both businesses and individuals, is cutting back their budgets. Sadly this may include cutting back on necessities like medical checkups and health screenings, which lead to early detection of many diseases such as cancer. Statistics prove that early detection is key in beating this killer. This is the impetus that led Fancifull Baskets to donate portions of the profits of specially designed gifts to the fight against breast cancer. The money will go toward paying for mammograms for low-income women, so they have a fighting chance against this disease, which affects one out of eight adult females.

"I felt powerless as more and more people I knew were affected by this disease, either having it themselves or having a relative that was ill. I wanted to do what I could with the limited resources available to me," explains Terry August, owner of Fancifull Baskets in Hollywood, CA.

The Mother's Day gifts were designed with a variety of budgets and tastes in mind.    Whether it be something simple like Rosé wine and chocolates, a pink vase filled with orchids, or the California Dreaming basket with artisan food from the Golden State, everyone can find something to suit their mom's taste while supporting this worthy cause. Each gift will have a card informing mom that 10 percent of the proceeds of her gift went to the fight against breast cancer.

Knowing that moms live all over the world, August has designed the Mother's Day line to ship easily. By making gifts up in beautiful reusable boxes and lidded baskets, shipping costs can be cut dramatically, which is a life saver for those out there who wait until the last minute to order.

It isn't a surprise that Fancifull is always looking out for their customers' best interests. It is basic to their concept of personal customer service. They even have a free reminder service so important dates don't get forgotten. The client receives a phone call a week or more before an event to give them a gentle nudge, whether they order from Fancifull or not.

As if all the above weren't enough, the Mother's Day Line also features many Green Gifting concepts such as containers that are made from renewable resources or are reusable, less filler and waste, all natural products, soy candles, and no cellophane (which fills our landfills) or the use of biodegradable cellophane. "I'm just a mom myself at heart," says August, "I mother my clients, my friends, my kids and the earth. I can't help it. I like taking care of people."
