Gorgeous gift ideas for someone who is unwell
A soft, wool throw. Because chemo makes you cold. The gifts that were bought for me that I loved the most were things that were comforting.
Books. During cancer treatment, you spend a lot of time in bed. You don’t always feel like reading, but when you do, it’s nice to have a choice.
Box sets. We watched the whole of House Of
Cards when I was ill. It passed the time and completely distracted me from being ill.
Bath oil and body
moisturisers. Beautiful smells can raise your spirits, and it’s nice to feel like you’re doing little things to pamper yourself. Something personal. Mark bought me a necklace, with his, the boys’ and our dog’s names engraved on
it, which meant the world to me.
A scented
candle. My friend sent me a candle with the note, ‘A little light for the chemo phase’, which really lifted me.
Cards. Thoughtful words written down mean so much, so don’t underestimate the value of a card.
