I think it is always important to raise money and awareness about Breast Cancer research. Recently, I discovered Breast Cancer Awareness bags that make for lovely items. They are sold at http://boxandwrap.com/cancer-awareness-gift-bags-ribbon.html.
These bags are excellent for giving gifts in, and they serve as a nice reminder of our fight for the cure. Go get 'em!
