SUPPORTING IRISH WOMEN SINCE 2017
When someone you care about is facing cancer, it’s natural to want to do something—something comforting, something useful, something that shows you’re there.
That’s where a cancer comfort bag comes in. Thoughtfully packed with supportive items, it can bring both practical help and emotional reassurance during a difficult time.
Here’s what to consider include, and why each item matters.
Chemotherapy and treatment areas are often cold. Include cosy socks, a blanket scarf, or a soft fleece throw to bring comfort and warmth.
Cancer treatments can cause dry or sensitive skin. Add gentle, fragrance-free moisturisers, lip balm, and hand creams designed for sensitive skin.
Include a journal, puzzle book, headphones, or a novel. These small items help pass time during treatment and offer a welcome mental escape.
Think bland, gentle snacks: oat biscuits, crackers, or mints. A reusable water bottle and herbal teas are thoughtful additions too.
A handwritten note, a photo, or a small token of encouragement (like a mantra card or keyring) can mean the world when words are hard to find.
Tissues, hand sanitiser, face masks, or a sleep mask might seem simple—but they’re often the most appreciated.
We’ve carefully created a serious illness range with many of these items specifically chosen for anyone going through chemo with all these essentials and more—beautifully packed, ready to gift, and full of warmth and support.

Final Thought:
It’s not just about what’s in the bag—it’s the love, care, and thought behind it. And that, more than anything, helps someone feel less alone.
