We’re inviting thoughtful brands to join our Cancer Bites Spring Gift Guide, publishing April 14. This edition centers on renewal, fresh air, and stepping into a lighter season physically, emotionally, and creatively — clearing the cobwebs of our physical realities and minds. Our audience is multi-faceted and highly engaged, spanning our cancer community, gardeners and farmers, wellness advocates and purpose-driven consumers. Our nonprofit website generates 15,000+ visitors per month and growing, with strong engagement across health, food security, community storytelling, gardening readers from national publications. We are seeking brands that can share: • Community goodwill initiatives • Giving-back programs or impact partnerships • Founder stories rooted in cancer, caregiving, faith, recovery, or purpose beyond profit • Products aligned with healing, renewal, and real-life usefulness Sharing meaningful stories alongside curated products is what makes our guides distinctive in the marketplace. We are proud of the quality and impact of our previous guides, which have received excellent feedback and appreciation from participating brands. Our publications are produced with care, intention, and strong editorial standards. While we continue to welcome quality skincare and healthy snacks, we are excited about out-of-the-box gift ideas, including home refresh tools, gardening and outdoor living products, gentle movement and recovery tools, creative wellness items, memory-keeping experiences, meaningful tech, comfort-forward lifestyle products, family forward items and healthy food options that are nourishing without being complicated. We prefer healthy, chemical-free, organic, and natural options whenever possible.
