200+ Care Package Ideas For Someone With Cancer

If you have a loved one currently dealing with Cancer, you deserve a tight hug.

Cancer doesn’t stop with the patient, it sucks the happiness from their loved ones as well.

Friends and well-wishers aren’t left out either, most times, they are willing but unable to show support in the way they want to the cancer patient.

If you are stuck in that awkward place where you don’t know what to do, you should consider putting together a chemo care package for the patient.

A care package doesn’t beat being there for the patient or helping them raise funds if needed, but thankfully, it isn’t a competition.

Love is never too much!

How to Make a Chemo Care Package

Making a Chemo Care Package for a loved one requires extra care, unlike other types of care packages.

The contents of a care package to a Chemo patient might be a bit pricier than regular care packages, so the first thing you want to do is to decide how much you are willing on the care package. Remeber to factor in packaging and shipping costs.
Secondly, you might want to find out from the patient’s doctor what should be avoided for medical reasons.
In putting together your items, remember to consider the needs of your the patient. Ideally, you should avoid sad or gloomy gifts, instead, and go for colorful and interesting gifts.

You can also choose to decorate your package with ribbons, colored tissue or colored markers.
If you are shipping your care package, contact the post office or shipping company you plan on using to purchase your care box, obtain all the necessary details such as the shipping date and shipping regulations, submit details such as your address and the receiver’s address and occasionally, a list of all the items in your package.
If you would rather not go through the process of packaging your care package, there are online stores that make care packages for Chemo patients, such as Just Don’t Send Flowers.
