Company details
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.

Jackie, this is so special to read, thank you.
There’s something really touching about you sending to your niece what once meant something to you. I’m so glad she felt it when she opened everything. Sometimes those moments just say it all. ☺️
Thanks a million for your support and for taking the time to leave a review.
Fabulous Company - 100% recommend
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.

It really means a lot that you received something yourself and then felt confident sending one on to someone else. That kind of trust doesn’t go unnoticed.

Roisin was so helpful
Roisin was so helpful. I received an email very soon after I completed my online order confirming availability of items I ordered including requested flavours/colour, etc. I ordered late in afternoon and she was able to post the order on the same day with further email confirmation of postage and a photo of the completed order. She was so helpful and very friendly in her emails. Great service and some beautiful natural products to choose from.
