You’re probably already being bombarded with Black Friday commercials, sales fliers and coupons galore for post-thanksgiving holiday sales and Christmas gift giving ideas by the masses of retailers and stores trying to capitalize on their own economic stimulus packages.

When money’s tight, it’s more important than ever to buy and give gifts that matter. And this year, it’s not just gifts for breast cancer survivors that can make the difference. You can get gadgets (GPS, mp3 players, cameras) for your guys and electronics (HDTVs, Blu-Ray) every man will love with the special deals offered by TigerDirect.com – FREE Shipping & Xtra Savings and CompUSA – FREE Shipping Promotion as part of their second annual PINK FRIDAY extravaganza!

Black Friday, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season, gives way to Pink on Nov. 27 as CompUSAturns the shopping frenzy into a charitable free-for-all for the second consecutive year. The consumer electronics and technology retailer expects Pink Friday to help raise more than $100,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world’s largest breast cancer organization.

Shop Friday Nov. 27th and during the holiday season for  great deals on computers and electronics:

This year, while most of the major stores are pushing “Black Friday” sales, why not keep thinking pink instead? Many of the retailers I’ve featured throughout breast cancer awareness month donate a portion of pink ribbon sales throughout the year or carry pink ribbon products and breast cancer gifts year-round, so take advantage of their great holiday sales, free shipping promotions and more to get gifts that give back this holiday shopping season.

Several bra manufacturers, lingerie retailers and online shops are getting ahead of the curve, by creating specialty bras and lingerie specifically  for breast cancer survivors and pink ribbon collections which donate to breast cancer awareness and research organizations. Here are my picks for sexy lingerie and bras for breast cancer:

Wacoal Breast Cancer Awareness Collection: Underwire & Seamless Bras

Wacoal Breast Cancer Awareness Seamless Bras This Wacoal seamless bra is part of their Breast Cancer Awareness Collection.

Two-layered seamless cups give slight breast compression to create a more attractive breast shape Wacoal’s hidden underwire, sandwiched between inner and outer cups so that it never touches the skin, provides the perfect support for the full-figured woman Delicate flat lace animal print design is invisible under clothing. Padded comfort straps with cotton next to the skin. Leotard-back styling with stretch strap adjustment. Sewn-on Breast Cancer Awareness tag at back hook-and-eye closure. Perfect for post surgery, holds breast nicely with slight compression. Surplice (or scissor) front for fit and comfort.

One of my all time favorite activities is getting together with my girlfriends to enjoy a couple glasses of good wine on a regular basis. Plus, there’s evidence that a moderate amount of red wine can reduce your risk of breast cancer. So, I say, in the name of research and prevention, go forth and drink wine to win the battle against breast cancer! Here are some of my think pink wine product picks for 2009, the first being from breast cancer survivor and celebrity figure skater, Peggy Flemming:

Fleming Jenkins 2004 Victories Rose Autographed Magnum w/wooden box – $99

Fleming Jenkins Vineyards & Winery Invites You to Support Breast Cancer Research With Victories Rose.

A personal message from Peggy Fleming:

This year, I am celebrating my 57th birthday with the release of Fleming Jenkins Victories Rose. Created by my husband, Greg Jenkins, and me specifically to raise funds for breast cancer research, this wine supports a cause that has touched us personally. 100% of the net profits after taxes of this and future vintages of Victories Rose will be donated to charities supporting the cause, including The V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University, both 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations. In 1998, on the 30th anniversary of my 1968 Olympic victory, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. For me, it was another Olympics, a life Olympics.

Early detection saved my life. And I believe that my lifelong dedication to health, fitness and personal accomplishment also played an important role in my victory. I was one of the lucky ones, and I am grateful. I decided to share my hopes, my fears and my triumph with people around the world. I hope my story will be an inspiration to anyone facing breast cancer, and that I will be one of the strong symbols of the victories that can be achieved against life’s greatest challenges. We must never give up hope. Please join us in the quest for a cure, with a purchase of Victories Rose. Victories is presented in a stunning magnum (1.5 liter) bottle and packaged in a commemorative hand-crafted wooden box. Greg and I thank you for your support and generosity. Buy it now – $99

Other Wine Labels Donating to Breast Cancer Organizations:

Red Wine by 2 Brothers from Chile, South America.This wine comes from two brothers, Alex, a wine importer, and Erik, a tattoo artist, who wanted to pay homage, in a non-serious way, to their late mother who suffered from cancer. They decided to label and bottle their own wine and donate the proceeds to a good cause. With their combined talents and effort, they created Big Tattoo Red. For every bottle sold, 50 cents is being donated to the Arlington, Virginia Hospice and a breast cancer research foundation in the name of Liliana S. Bartholomaus. Introduced in the Winter of 2002, sales from Big Tattoo Wines has raised over $850,000 for charity. Several varietals available, from $9.99-$13.29 shop now>>
