Giving your mom a breast cancer care package is a wonderful way to show that you are there for her throughout her treatment and recovery from breast cancer. If you are unsure what to include in this gift, here are a few helpful ideas.

 

 

What to Include in a Breast Cancer Care Package for Your Mom

Comfy Clothes

Cozy clothing like comfortable pajamas, fuzzy slippers, and soft cardigans are excellent gifts that can bring some extra comfort to your mom during and after her treatments. She may also appreciate warm socks, gloves, and head coverings.

 

 

Delicious foods

Give your mom the gift of a tasty dinner or her favorite healthy snacks. A homecooked meal or food delivery gift cards can be the perfect addition to a care package. Make sure to check if her treatments have caused any dietary restrictions first.

 

 

Useful Gadgets

Consider gifting your mom with tools she usually would not buy for herself. Even small things like USB-activated fans, noise-canceling headphones, or longer charging cords can be very helpful. Larger gifts like voice assistants can also be useful.

 

 

Help at Home

When someone is undergoing treatments, the last thing they should worry about is cleaning. As such, house cleaning and yard maintenance services can be an ideal addition to the care package. You can also offer your time to clean her home.

 

 

Personal Touch

Homemade gifts and handwritten cards are the perfect gift for your mom. Even if what you create does not look the best, she will cherish it because of the love behind it. Of course, the gift of your time is the perfect addition to the care package.

 

How Else Can You Help Your Mom?

Provide Breast Cancer Emotional Support

Breast cancer can take a toll mentally and physically. You can help your mom by providing strong, consistent breast cancer emotional support. Do this by offering practical help, checking in on her regularly, and being ready to listen when she needs you.

 

 

Help Her Find a Breast Cancer Community

When your mom has a community around her, it can help her handle the highs and lows of this journey. The community will include loved ones and her care team. You can help grow this community by introducing her to support groups and organizations.
