AD – PR Product | This year has been difficult for all of us, and on top of everything going on, I know two women who have been diagnosed with cancer this year. When I was approached by Cancer Care Parcel to review one of their boxes, I thought it would be a wonderful surprise to gift a box to one of the women I know.
Cancer Care Parcel was created by Dr. Shara Cohen after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2013 and found there was little time to relax. She set up Cancer Care Parcel to take some of the worries away and bring some calm back into the lives of those affected by cancer. Cancer Care Parcel offers packages for adults, teens, and children including care packages for men and women, those undergoing chemotherapy, and boxes of essentials for hospital stays. The boxes range in price from £69 to £199, and they can be delivered to the UK and US while the gifts can be shipped worldwide. The boxes are shipped quickly, and I ordered the Cancer Care Box Of Goodies For Women on October 20th, and it was delivered in Denmark on October 27th.
The Cancer Care Box Of Goodies For Women is for any woman with a cancer diagnosis, and the items are suitable for all cancer therapies and surgeries. The box is £69 and contains 11 items that are useful, comforting, inspiring, and fun and can help reduce therapy side effects such as chemo nausea and cold feet. The 11 items in the Cancer Care Box Of Goodies For Women are:
- Two Neck Cushions: The neck cushions are used to provide support and to help relax
- Peppermint Tea: The tea comes in biodegradable pyramid bags, and peppermint tea has numerous health benefits including stress relief, relaxation, and helping with nausea
- Hand Cream: The moisturizing hand cream is used to relieve dryness and for pampering
- Eye Gel Mask: The eye gel mask soothes tired eyes and promotes relaxation. The gel mask can also provide relief from cancer-related fatigue, and it can be used as both a cold or warm eye press
- Foot Massager: The foot massager takes the mind away from the everyday stress of cancer
- Bed Socks: The socks help with cold feet that can result from many therapies, and they also add extra comfort for “me time” at home
- Inspirational Card: The card reminds you of who you are that you do not have to be brave
- Inspirational Book: The book Might Make You Smile is a collection of positive short stories from real women who are living with or recovering from cancer. The stories are often funny and heartwarming and suggest that cancer does not have to be the end of the world
- Catchable Bubbles: The bubbles are fun for all ages that stay on your hand and clothes
- Jute Bag: The bag is a useful natural jute bag for all the little things
On the Cancer Care Parcel website, you can also get access to guides for people with cancer and their friends and family.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, after I received this box, I gifted it this past weekend to one of the women I know who was diagnosed with this cancer this year. She enjoyed the surprise, and I hope that it will provide her with some relaxation and comfort. The boxes from Cancer Care Parcel are a thoughtful gift for anyone you know who has been affected by cancer.
This is a wonderful idea. Thanks you for sharing. I take care of a few cancer patients…
I agree. Aw that’s kind of you.
What a great way to let someone know how much you care! I didn’t know the my existed but definitely plan on looking into them now. I wish these would’ve existed 15 years ago when we lost my mother in law to cancer.
I agree they are a great way to show you care & I’m sorry to hear about your mother in law.
What a lovely idea. My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in September 2019 and is still fighting (but doing really well). He has had a tough time and something like this care box would be so great to give him. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so sorry to hear about your husband, but that is wonderful he is doing really well.
Wow this box sounds incredible. It is so nice to know that something like this exists – especially in today’s world. I try to pamper my loved ones all the time so this is absolutely making me emotional!

It is a great box & that’s wonderful to hear you pamper your loved ones!
What a great box! It truly is a great idea, and really helps people remember that there are people out there who care about the little things. Thank you for sharing – I never knew this existed!

You’re welcome & it is a great box!
I’ve seen this box before and I think they’re incredible! It’s so easy to forget the basics of pampering when you’re going through something like that and this is such a thoughtful box of essentials x

Yes I agree! It is a thoughtful box!
Such a thoughtful care package. I love that you donated yours. I am sure it brings a little happiness in a difficult situation xxx
It is a thoughtful package, and she seemed to enjoy the gift!
This is an absolutely adorable idea! It’s such a nice way to let others know you care about them (: x
I agree it’s a great way to show someone who is growing through a difficult time that you care about them
I love the fact that this is available. Friends and family members often struggle with what to do when someone they love is diagnosed. By offering something that is already put together like this, you can take a lot of the stress off while helping these people to support their loved one and be a light in their journey. Thank you for sharing!
Yes I think it is a great idea too and it does take away the stress of finding an appropriate gift while supporting those during their journey!
I’m working with Cancer Care this month too and I can’t wait to receive the box to see what’s in it. I think it’s such a fantastic idea. Something we can all relate to as well, as I’m sure we all know someone affected by cancer xxx
That’s great you worked with Cancer Care too! Sadly most of us do know someone affected by cancer, but this box is a nice gift.
I worked with Cancer Care a while back and they are such a great company. So much thought has gone into their boxes (for men and children too). My friend is an oncology nurse and she said everything in the baskets are perfect for any cancer patient no matter what stage they’re at. Lovely review x
That’s great you worked with Cancer Care Parcel too! That’s also great your friend confirmed that the boxes are perfect for any cancer patient at any stage!
Awe what a great gift idea! I love this!
Yes it is a great box!
That is seriously wonderful and an amazing way to make a cancer patient smile a little!
Yes I agree!
This sounds like a really great idea, especially during this year! x
Yes I agree!
What a lovely box! Hopefully it brings some light to those who need it. Thankyou for sharing x
It is a great box & the woman I gifted it to seemed to like it!
