Greeting Cards for Cancer Patients
When "Get Well" Isn't Enough
It's not always practical to pay a visit, so one of the best ways you can show your support is by sending greeting cards. Artist Corrie Kuipers and Nene Adams have teamed up to create a range of cards especially for cancer patients (including pediatric patients). The images are upbeat and colorful; the messages positive and heartwarming.
Greeting Cards for Cancer Patients of All Ages
Greeting Cards for Cancer Patients of All Ages
The Fighting Spirit
Wish a woman all the strength she needs in her battle against cancer! As a gift basket or in a tote bag, you could put these items together with peppermint or ginger lemon teabags, a journal and pen, pre-stamped envelopes and assorted all occasion cards, and an unscented candle.
The Caring Spirit
A woman with cancer needs to know that people care. She needs friends and family to stay in touch, to keep those lines of connection and communication open. These items pair well in a gift basket or tote bag with a mug or soup cup, homemade chicken soup or plain sugar cookies, hard candies in ginger, mint or lemon flavors,a cozy cotton blanket or quilt.
The Soothing Spirit
Chemotherapy or radiation treatments leave skin sensitive, the mouth sore, and the spirit bruised. These items would pair well in a gift basket or tote bag with a CD of soothing or meditation music, unscented candles, calming herbal tea bags (or loose tea with tea ball), lip balm, and a permanent water bottle.
The Surviving Spirit
Getting through chemotherapy or radiation treatment is hard - and that's an understatement! Give the gift of hope and practical help. These items would do well together in a gift basket or tote bag with a soft, warm, knitted cap, a journal and pen, a favorite movie or television series on DVD,
Donations
We are a non-profit dedicated to providing inspirational, healing art to medical clinics, patients, and caregivers. Our aim is to provide emotional support to patients and caregivers coping with a chronic or terminal illness.
The Laughing Spirit
They say laughter is the best medicine! Certainly, women fighting cancer appreciate a smile. These items would pair well in a gift basket or tote bag with a DVD of a funny movie or comedy routine, humorous refrigerator magnets, joke books, or small stuffed animals.
The Faithful Spirit
Faith in God often sustains religious cancer patients. If you believe such gifts would be welcome (now is not the time to proselytize), these items would work well with a Christian-themed motivational poster, soothing and moisturizing body lotion and lip balm, prayer cards, herbal tea to combat stress, and a pretty scarf.

- Being diagnosed with cancer does not only one person but his/her family as well and this is why it needs to be diagnosed as early as possible to be able to determine possible treatment for the patient to resume to his/her normal life. Thanks to researches, advancement in technology, cancer research fundraisers and other support groups, cancer patients now have a stronger chance of surviving this dreaded disease. With baskets as gifts for those undergoing chemo, you might think that this is simple but this means a lot to the patient - showing that you care for what he/she is going through.
