These types of cancer charity gifts include include pill boxes, can koozies, window clings, magnets, key chains, pins, metal bookmarkers, Christmas ornaments, candles, hats, tote bags, sweatshirts and t-shirts.

Purchase a humorous gift such as a shirt that say, "I Have Chemo Brain, What's your Excuse?" or "I Didn't Survive Cancer to Die of Stress."
Cancer Awareness Wristbands
If you want to donate to a cancer charity but can't afford to spend a lot of money, purchase a rubber cancer awareness wristband. A popular and trendy accessory for all ages and genders as of 2010, these bracelets comes in a rainbow of colors and different sizes. The wristbands sometimes carry a message specific to a certain type of cancer or generic sayings such as "Say it, Fight it, Cure it" and "Cancer Sucks." Since these wristbands have become so popular, be sure to purchase one from a retailer that donates its proceeds to charity.
Inspirational Cancer Gifts
When you buy an inspirational cancer charity gift and give it to a cancer patient, you're not only donating to charity but helping the recipient stay strong during her battle with the illness. These types of gifts include: necklaces and bracelets with "hope, love, faith" charms or ribbon charms; angel figurines with a colored ribbon; candles with encouraging quotes; bookmarks with inspirational poems or scriptures; or motivational books. You can also purchase general cancer gifts with the word "Hope" on them.

The chemo tote bag includes a plush blanket, book, queasy drops to help reduce the nausea caused by chemo, water bottle and thank you notes.
