Written by the company
We aim to create a one-stop shop where useful gifts for cancer and other critical ill patients are available. Where thoughtful and meaningful gifts, especially curated for loved ones facing physical or mental challenges have been researched and sourced. We prioritize working with local suppliers, many who have faced their own health challenges. As a result, their products come from a genuine place of care and understanding. Some of our collections are designed to uplift spirits for those who find solace in humor. We offer a lighthearted approach to facing life’s toughest moments, because sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. For those who aren't afraid to confront the 'elephant in the room,' we offer the opportunity, to give it the proverbially two fingers! We also haven’t forgotten the incredible caregivers. Whether they’re medical professionals, friends, or family members, whose support often goes unnoticed. The ripple effects of one person's illness can reach far and wide. Recognizing that each journey is unique, we’d love to hear about anything that has helped you along your path. Your stories and suggestions could inspire and assist others traveling a similar road.

Excellent service
Excellent service. Really friendly and efficient. I even got a personal email about my order to ensure that my card would have a message in it. Great care was taken to ensure the person I was sending the care package to would get a quality product. Thank you.

Fast delivery and exceptional customer service
Fast delivery and exceptional customer service. I created my own care package for a friend which was beautifully put together. I had to contact Roisin by WhatsApp as I forgot something in my order and she replied immediately and sorted it out. I also received a personal email from Roisin with a photo of the made up care package before it was posted out. My friend absolutely loved it and the products are amazing! Highly recommend.

Beautiful gift for loved one
I ordered a beautiful gift for a loved one who was recovering from surgery. Roisin contacted me via email to double check if I wanted a personalised card included, she added the personalised card to the package and sent me a photo of what the gift looked like. She really went above and beyond, and I was delighted to support this beautiful small business.

When something is being sent to someone recovering, it’s those small personal touches that make all the difference. And I’m so pleased you were happy and also with seeing the photo before it went out.

What a gorgeous special Company, I stumbled on it by pure fluke. I bought two blankets & socks as a gift & my friend who is thrilled with them. Roisin was so kind & thoughtful. I would 100% recommend this company. Delivery was very fast & pricing point is very reasonable.

Amazing company who understands the needs of their customers
I received a gift from here and was absolutely overwhelmed with the beautiful presentation & care that was given to my gift at a very vulnerable time. I went straight onto the website and ordered for a friend of mine also going through a tough time and the perfect gift was also there for them. The Elephant in the Room really understands the needs and shows immense compassion.
