My birthday was a few weeks ago and I have to say that I received two kinds of gifts, those that came off my list (love getting exactly what I wanted) and those that were gift certificates (did I say how much I love getting exactly what I wanted). Gift certificates can be a great way to gift whether you're unsure or whether you feel that you recognize that a person has a favorite store. We have all had those occassions where our favorite store doesn't have anything that we want right now, but that doesn't mean that this won't hbe true in the future. A gift certificate is a nice way to make sure that you always have a little something for your favorite place. What can be better than this?

Bloomingdales has the Little Pink Card which has multiple benefits. These gift cards can hold from $10 - $1000. From now through Oct 31st of this year, purchasing this card will provide a 10% donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. When you or someone else redeems this card prior to Dec 31st of this year and purchases something over the valued amount on this card, another 10% will go to the BCRF. What an exciting way to give to this fund while enjoying a variety of your purchases. Throughout this season, you will continue to find ways to support the awareness and research for Breast Cancer, any way that you can assist is a way worth doing. Visit Bloomingdales and flip through the online version of the Little Pink Book which has stories on what people are doing to help, photo spreads and more.
