A lovely colleague who I used to work for has been diagnosed with cancer and is due to start chemo. We don't currently work in the same team but still get on etc. I want to send her a gift, I don't think flowers as they seem a bit too celebratory. I've found loads of self care packages that look lovely, she lives a fair distance away from me so I have to be able to get it delivered to her house.

Self care package or something else?

I'm also up for building my own box and packing it up to send, which seems more personal. So any suggestions on what to include would be great!

Currently thinking
Lip balm
Hand cream
Snacks I know she likes
Tea selection
Candle maybe or sleeping mask

Space masks are great.

IMO these things are too much down to personal taste. Id get a voucher for Cook! Or another meal delivery service or takeaway, or M&S, or a local cleaning/laundry service.

A nice blanket
Book vouchers (if they are a reader) or send books.
Fruity tea bags that help immunity/sleep etc.
Chocolate brownies
Handcream
Nice PJ/lounge wear
