Give the Gift of Life This Holiday With Fashionable Medical ID Jewelry
-Lauren's Hope Says Vanity Is No Reason to Risk a Life-
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 14 -- It's statistically proven that medical identification (ID) tags save lives. Medical ID tags should be worn by the millions of people suffering from chronic conditions like diabetes, cardiac issues, asthma, allergies and other conditions that require special medical treatment. Yet only a small percentage of Americans with chronic conditions actually wear medical ID tags because either they don't want to emphasize their medical condition or the traditional, clunky medical ID tags don't fit their personal style.
Lauren's Hope creates fashionable jewelry that allows its customers to choose bracelets, necklaces, watches and other jewelry that is stylish and discreet enough to fit your own personal style, while communicating important medical information in case of an emergency. Lauren's Hope offers chic medical ID jewelry for men, women and children of all ages and styles, from elegant to funky to sports-themed jewelry. Lauren's Hope offers gift wrapping and guaranteed shipping by Christmas if ordered by Dec. 22.
"Despite the fact that our customers are so appreciative when our jewelry makes the difference in an emergency, we also understand that sometime people prioritize vanity over safety when it comes to wearing medical ID tags," said Denise Gaskill, marketing director and co-founder of Lauren's Hope. "That's exactly why we offer stylish medical ID jewelry that people actually want to wear. We have the perfect holiday gifts for your mother, child or friend that can fit their personal style, while giving you the peace of mind that you may help save their life."
Lauren's Hope guarantees shipment in time for Christmas, and offers a "Wish List" feature if you are hoping to receive a Lauren's Hope medical ID yourself! To order Lauren's Hope Medical ID jewelry for your loved one, go to www.LaurensHope.com or call 1-800-360-8680.

The Headwear Association Gives Away Thousands of Warm Hats to Shelters and Non-Profit Organizations Nationwide
Annual 'Headwear for the Homeless' Campaign kicks-off December 10
CHICAGO, Dec. 9 -- It's common knowledge that you lose as much as 80 percent of your body heat through your head. As temperatures plummet outside, wearing a hat can be one of the best ways to keep warm. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford proper headwear to protect their head and ears during the long winter months.
In an effort to help disadvantage people keep warm, The Headwear Association will donate thousands of hats to homeless shelters and nonprofit organizations nationwide on Thursday, December 10.
"Many of us read or hear about those less fortunate than ourselves and wish there was something we could do to help," said David Goldman, president of The Headwear Association. "We decided that our organization could do our part by providing wool, felt, knit and fleece beanies and caps to underprivileged men, women and children to help keep them warm during the brutal winter months."
For anyone who spends time outside this winter, wearing a hat is a smart preventive measure to help avoid getting sick. If your body doesn't have to work so hard keeping warm it will have more resources to keep you healthy during the cold and flu season.
The participants of this year's Headwear for the Homeless campaign include:
• Bollman Hats to Opportunity House and Mary's Shelter in Reading, PA; Robinhood Foundation, NY and St. Vincent de Paul Center, Chicago
• Dorfman-Pacific, Stockton, CA to Women's Center of San Joaquin County, Stockton Homeless Shelter and Haven of Peace Inc.
• Grace Hats to Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, NYC
• Hat Attack to MGR Foundation in Chicago
• NES Enterprises, Jay Gerish Co. and Kathy Jeanne Inc. to Eva's Village in Paterson, NJ
• Outdoor Cap, Bentonville, AR to Benton County Women's Shelter-Domestic Violence Shelter, Genesis House-Daytime Shelter, Havenwood-Transitional housing for single parents, NWA Children's Shelter-Children's Shelter, Peace At Home Family Shelter-Domestic Violence Shelter, Salvation Army-Homeless Shelter, Youth Bridge-Troubled Teens
• Outback Trading to Ridge Ave. Shelter in Philadelphia, PA
• Philadelphia Rapid Transit to The Haddonfield Friends School "Mitten Tree"
• San Diego Hat, Carlsbad, CA to Bread of Life Rescue Mission
