2 in 1 Pillow Blanket

Chemotherapy can often leave a person feeling cold and drained, meaning our 2 in 1 fleece Pillow Blanket is a chemo must have. It can be used as a pillow for comfort or unzipped to become a snuggly blanket and it's compact enough for your loved one to take with them to use in the chemo chair. Plush fabric is super soft for sensitive chemo skin. 100x160cm. Random colour allocation.

Soothing Body Wrap

These soothing body wraps can be heated in a microwave and used to help relieve some of the discomfort from aching muscles and joint pain that chemotherapy treatment can cause. Alternatively, they can be chilled and used as a cooling compress. L49 x W14cm. Random colour allocation.

Water Tracker Bottle (1litre bottle)

It's so important to stay hydrated during chemotherapy treatment and it’s often easier to take small sips regularly throughout the day. A great way to remember to take these regular sips, is with a ‘Water Tracker’ bottle. A time tracker on the bottle reminds your loved one when they should be taking that next sip to ensure they drink little and often throughout the day. Random colour allocation.

Hydration Sachet (2 x 3g)

Containing zero sugar and no artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners or preservatives, these hydration sachets offer a faster way to restore a healthy level of hydration than drinking water alone. Random flavour allocation.

A5 Notebook:

A premium notebook for your loved one to journal their thoughts and feelings or write down their appointments & treatment schedule. These brightly coloured, beautifully crafted notebooks have soft touch covers, matching coloured page edges and a ribbon page turner. 160 pages. Dimensions: H210 x W148 x D11mm (A5). Random colour allocation.

Satin Pillowcase (1 x queen size)

Satin pillowcases are known for being kind to both hair and skin. Unlike cotton, satin is non-absorbent, meaning satin pillowcases help to retain moisture in the hair (and skin – an added bonus). Moisturised hair is less prone to breakage plus satin's smooth surface creates less friction for fragile hair strands which may have been damaged by chemotherapy. Pillowcase measures 75cm x 50cm and has an envelope opening. Random colour allocation.

Bamboo Sleep Cap

Soft and light to ensure maximum comfort this Bamboo Sleep Cap is suitable for either bedtime or daytime usage. Bamboo is ideal for sensitive skin if your loved one's scalp becomes sore, dry and itchy during chemotherapy treatment. Bamboo is anti-static so the beanie sits well next to the skin, not clinging uncomfortably to the head. One size fits all. Random colour allocation.

Cupcake Socks (1 pair)

These super cute, fluffy socks come packaged to look like a Cupcake and will keep your loved one's feet cosy and warm during and after treatment. One size fits most. Random colour allocation.

Brain Games Puzzle Book

Chemotherapy treatment can involve a lot of waiting around which is why we've chosen this book as there’s plenty to keep your loved one occupied during hospital visits. A brain workout can also help to exercise a 'chemo brain'. From cryptic codes to logic puzzles, the Brain Games Puzzle Book has something for everyone with a variety of difficulty levels.

Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream with 10% Urea (118ml)

Udderly Smooth Extra Care Cream contains 10% Urea which is well-known for its hydrating and protecting properties. It's a non-greasy, fragrance free, deeply moisturising cream which is often recommended by oncology professionals to help relieve dry, sore skin on hands and feet, particularly during chemotherapy treatment.

Cotton Moisturising Gloves (1 pair of reusable gloves)

Some chemotherapy drugs can cause sore, dry hands (and feet). These non-absorbent, cotton moisturising gloves help to lock in moisture by warming the skin which helps moisturising creams and lotions soak in.

Cotton Moisturising Socks (1 pair of reusable socks)

Some chemotherapy drugs can cause sore, dry feet (and hands). These non-absorbent, cotton moisturising socks help to lock in moisture by warming the skin which helps moisturising creams and lotions soak in.

Nourishing Nail & Cuticle Oil (10ml)

Chemotherapy treatment can leave nails weak and brittle, but this luxurious Nourishing Nail & Cuticle Oil will help your loved one nourish and strengthen their nails and cuticles with a deeply hydrating blend of organic oils including calendula, lavender, comfrey and sweet orange.

MooGoo SPF15 Lip Balm (5g)

Sore or chapped lips can be an unwelcome side effect of chemotherapy treatment and your loved one is sure to appreciate this lovely, natural MooGoo SPF15 Lip Balm, perfect for soft and smooth lips. We've chosen a lip balm containing SPF because some chemotherapy treatments can make skin extra sensitive to sun exposure.

Evian Facial Spray (50ml)

Evian Facial Spray is particularly refreshing if skin is feeling dry and sensitive from cancer treatment and provides welcome relief if feeling nauseous or hot & sweaty from chemotherapy treatment. The lightweight mist is hypo-allergenic and has a neutral pH, completely free from chemical treatments and is safe for all skin types.

Cooling Gel Pillow

Some cancer treatments can cause hot flushes and sweats. This naturally cooling Gel Pillow responds to body temperature to reduce excess heat. The cooling gel works immediately to sustain lasting cooling, with no need for water or refilling. 50 x 40cm.

Cooling Ice Towel

This Cooling Ice Towel is fantastically refreshing - just wet it and it's freezing. Perfect if your loved one is having a hot flush or is simply feeling anxious or emotional. Can also be used as a cold salt water compress on sore, hot or irritated skin. 30x90cm. Random colour allocation.

Nausea Relief Wristbands (1 pair of reusable acupressure wristbands)

Research has shown that patients who wore acupressure wristbands reported less chemotherapy related nausea on the day of treatment compared with those who didn't wear them. The plastic stud attached to the inside of the wrist band exerts pressure and stimulates the P6 (or Nei-Guan) acupressure point and it is widely believed that pressure on this point relieves nausea and vomiting.

Nausea Pulse Point Balm (10g)

Our Nausea Relief Pulse Point Balm is a handmade, all-natural, aromatherapy pulse point treatment for use when your loved one is feeling nauseous. We've included peppermint, ginger and grapefruit essential oils which are all known to help ease the symptoms of nausea. The pocket-sized balm is the perfect size to be carried around for instant application and relief.
Queasy Drops (pack contains 21 lozenges)

Queasy Drops have been developed by healthcare professionals. They contain powerful essential oils proven to relieve nausea which is a common side effect of chemotherapy. They are completely natural, drug free and 100% safe.

Gin Gins Ginger Chews (42g)

Evidence shows that ginger is an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting which is a common side effect of chemotherapy. These chewy ginger sweets are made with 10% fresh ginger and are a tasty way to consume ginger.

Lemon Xylitol Mints (15g)

Mint is well known for easing nausea and we’ve specifically chosen lemon mints because feedback tells us they are gentler for sensitive or sore mouths that chemo treatment can cause. Peppersmith mints also contain Xylitol and studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Sucking Xylitol mints can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people experience when going through chemo treatment.

Peppermint Xylitol Chewing Gum (15g / 10 pieces)

Mint is well known for relieving nausea and this minty fresh gum is sugar-free and sweetened with 100% Xylitol, a naturally derived ingredient. Studies have shown that Xylitol can help reduce tooth decay by helping to prevent plaque bacteria sticking to the teeth. Oral complications are common with chemotherapy treatment and so dental hygiene is especially important. Chewing Xylitol Gum can also help to relieve a dry mouth that some people get when going through chemo treatment.

Gingernut Biscuits – 130g

We have carefully selected these Hawkens bite size Gingernut biscuits because they are by far the greatest tasting gingernut that we have ever come across. Hot and fiery as a gingernut biscuit should be, deep in flavour and with chunks of crystalised ginger, these gingernuts are a delicious way of consuming ginger (and calories) if your loved is feeling nauseous from treatment and struggling to keep large quantities of food down.

Ginger Beer (330ml)

Ginger Beer is often recommended by cancer patients to help ease nausea, combat taste issues and help with hydration. We have chosen Heather Ale's Ginger Beer as it offers a bold, spicy kick and contains only natural ingredients and real fruit flavours, making it a healthy alternative to traditional Ginger Beer.

Sour Cherries Gummy Sweets (120g)

People going through chemotherapy treatment often experience an unpleasant metallic taste in their mouth. Sucking sour sweets can help to alleviate this symptom.

Ice Pop Mould

Some chemotherapy treatments can cause sore or dry mouths. Sucking on a ice pop can refresh the mouth and provide some relief. 20cm long.

Neat Natural Energy Bar (2 x 45g bar)

Chemotherapy treatment can affect the taste and appetite. Neat Natural Energy Bar is a delicious and nutritious vegan snack bar made using natural ingredients with no added sugar and no palm oil. Random flavour allocation.

Pukka Tea – Organic Three Ginger (1 teabag sachet)

Known in India as the ‘universal herb’ ginger is well known for its anti-nausea properties and these Organic Three Ginger Pukka teabags contain a warming swirl of ginger, galangal and golden turmeric to help ease nausea, whilst also helping with hydration – a key factor in dealing with nausea.

Pukka Tea – Organic Three Mint (1 teabag sachet)

Mint is everyone’s favourite herb and is particularly helpful for digestion. Bursting with three of the finest mints, spearmint, peppermint and field mint, carefully blended to help aid digestion, and of course hydration.

Bamboo Cutlery Set

Many people find that food tastes different during chemotherapy treatment and people often complain of a metallic taste in their mouth which can be made worse by using metal cutlery which is why we’ve included a bamboo cutlery set.

Botanical Hand Sanitiser (50ml)

Chemotherapy compromises the immune system making it more difficult to fend off viruses and bacterial infections. The all natural Botanical Hand Sanitiser will enable your loved one to keep their hands hygienically clean even when they don’t have access to soap and water.

Bamboo Pocket Tissues (1 packet containing 10 tissues)

It's always handy to have a packet of tissues around when dealing with the emotions that a cancer diagnosis can bring, but did you know that alongside hairloss, chemotherapy patients lose their nasal hair and eyebrows & eyelashes often resulting in a runny nose and watery eyes. Made from 100% sustainable bamboo, these tissues are eco-friendly and plastic free and they are also naturally hypoallergenic.

Soy Wax Candle - Relax (120ml)

This luxurious aromatherapy Soy Wax Candle is the perfect way to encourage a loved one to take some time to relax and pamper themselves. A gorgeous blend of Ylang Ylang, May Chang, Lavender, Rosemary & Cedar pure essential oils will help to calm and relax the mind and spirit.

Spacemask (1 mask)

A cancer diagnosis is stressful. From the moment your loved one opens the spacemask self heating eye mask, they will be temptingly invited on a journey of relaxation. Spacemasks make a great, pampering treat for anyone facing the stress of a cancer diagnosis. Single use mask.

Stress Ball

Stress balls are great for relieving tension and pent up frustration. The repeated pattern of grip and release helps to alleviate tension & stress and is an activity that your loved one can do anywhere. Stress balls can also be used to help pump veins which is useful when having IV chemotherapy and they can also help to ease chemotherapy induced neuropathy.
