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 quality, 100%
Beautifully wrapped and recyclable wrapping. Everything is excellent quality (I bought the thermal blanket, mug , and hat),Very fast delivery. I love the fact that 100% of the mug cost goes to cancer. I’ll definitely be buying more from “The elephant in the room”,

Mastectomy heart pillow
Was searching for this heart shaped pillow and found a local company here in Cork. My sister in law was scheduled for a Mastectomy and needed it asap. Omg what service, added to notes I really needed it by end of week and should have added I would pay the extra postage! My mistake. It was hand delivered to my door this morning, actually couldn’t believe the service. Highly recommend Rosin she gets it, the urgency of getting something to help someone else. I’ve now spoken about her company and service to everyone I’ve met. Amazing thank you so so much x

Excellent Service
We made an order for a staff member you was on leave and Roisin couldn't have been more accommodating, there was a error on the address and Roisin made sure it was dealt with and even when it couldn't be found she resent another package. Really excellent service will be ordering from here again!

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. Yes it was a bit of a rollercoaster but we got there in the end! It was a pleasure to be in a position to help you out at a time that I know is anxious for everyone. 🙏🏼
Beyond and above 😊
Couldn't thank Roisin enough for her generosity and kindness for getting a parcel to my friend in Canada during postal strikes. Roisin went beyond and above. My friend absolutely loved the gift set and the oils have really helped her during her treatment. Would recommend these gift sets to all loved ones 💖
