Lip Balm
Dry, cracked, and painful lips are a common side effect of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, these unscented lip balms from Polish Your Parts are a great option for cancer patients. Formulated with organic and natural ingredients, Lip Lovin’ lip balms provide comforting moisture to dry and sensitive lips. |
 |
Bergamot Essential Oil & Diffuser Bracelet
Did you know that AROMATHERAPY rates in the TOP 5 most requested items from Cancer Patients? With both calming and uplifting abilities, Bergamot essential oil is mildly citrusy, pleasant without being overly pungent. It is commonly used to help reduce stress and tension and help with mental clarity. Just dab one or two drops onto the black lava stones on the diffuser bracelet to enjoy the benefits of this unique essential oil. *Bracelet decorative stone colors may vary.
|
 |
Weighted Eye Pillow Fatigue and exhaustion are very common cancer treatment side effects. Resting is often strongly encouraged. These lavender scented eye pillows can be heated (30 seconds in the microwave) or cooled (overnight in the freezer) – just lie down, cover your eyes, breathe in the lavender scent and pretend you’re taking a nap for fun vs. necessity! |
|
 |
The Cancer Card "Yay, it’s time for my radiation/ chemo/ biopsy/ other hideous cancer treatment today” – said no cancer patient ever. We all know living with cancer stinks – but there IS one teeny tiny silver lining: The Cancer Card. Just show your card to the closest friend or family member and VOILA – skip annoying tasks and activities! Fight on, stay strong, and pull The Cancer Card every so often – you deserve it! |
The Cancer Care Box Comprehensive includes all of the items in the Essentials box, PLUS:
 |
Seatbelt Shield Seat belts can be an unexpected challenge for cancer patients. Unfortunately seatbelts tend to rub directly against the most tender part of a patient's torso while undergoing and recovering from surgery wounds, radiation burns, and raw chemo ports. Simply insert the pillow between you and your seat belt and TA DA - pain free driving! *Seat belt fabric cover designs vary. |
 |
Two Pairs of Cozy Socks Whether it's freezing cold hospitals or chemo-induced neuropathy, fuzzy socks are a must. Keep feet warm and dry with super cozy, warm and soft socks. Stretchy, fuzzy, and gentle on tender toes, these luxurious socks are beloved by patients in throughout their treatments. |
 |
Botanical Body Cream Did you know that LOTION is the #1 requested item from Cancer Patients? We adore this hand cream from our friends at Polish Your Parts. Knowing some cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, this scent-free lotion offers quick absorption and a smooth velvety finish. |
 |
No Sweat Ice Pack Cancer Patients rate ice packs in their TOP 5 most requested items. These are the ideal size for chemo port and radiation-sized burns. The sweat-free ice packs do not leave damp marks on clothes. Plus, they are large enough to provide relief, yet small enough to stay ‘hidden’ under an arm or tucked into clothing. *Ice Pack design may vary Dimensions:
|
The Cancer Care Box Tremendous includes all of the items in the Comprehensive box, PLUS:
 |
One Stainless Steel Tumbler w/ Straw How many times do you have to hear your medical team remind you to stay hydrated? This stainless steel, vacuum insulated tumbler with leak-proof lid and eco-friendly straw attachment will keep your drinks icy cold or piping hot for hours. *Tumbler colors vary |
 |
Coloring Books & Pencils Cancer treatment can be extremely stressful, ergo the importance of self-care throughout the duration. It can be very calming to unplug from technology and redirect one’s focus to geometric colors and patterns, like those found in this charming pocket-sized coloring book and set of 12 colored pencils with attached pencil sharpener. |
 |
Lavender Essential Oil & Diffuser Bracelet Lavender oil is commonly used as a holistic treatment for anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. Just one or two drops on the lava-stone bracelet post-treatment provide a lovely smell that can last for hours. The aroma-therapy is meant to help patients feel calm and relaxed. *Bracelet decorative stone colors may vary. |
 |
Tea Time One of the most common cancer treatment side effects is fatigue. It is critical to employ self-care when feeling worn down. This charming little teapot, cookies, and flavored Tea Drops branded teas provide a perfect little midday respite. *Cookie & tea flavors vary |

My college BFF called me and unboxed her box with me via FaceTime. She was so excited to discover each and every item. She’s getting her central port next week and knows she’s going to need that seatbelt shield soon!
The recipient was very appreciative, but has not yet used the box.
Recipient loved it.
My friend was super grateful and moved with her gift, it really made her day!
The recipient seemed to really appreciate the items included.
Thanks
Was loved and appreciated by the recipient,
This is the 2nd Balm Box I purchased for my sister in law. She really lives it. It was shipped quickly. My only issue was sadly my own. I somehow had it shipped to me in Georgia, but my sister in law lives in Oregon. So it cost us quite a bit to ship it back out to Oregon. Please be careful with the shipping address to ensure it goes where intended.
My friend was thrilled to receive her box. She has only recently learned of her breast cancer and treatment plan. She said she is excited to use each item. Especially the aromatherapy bracelet. Wherever did I find such a great thing? I told her, of course. I daresay, Balm Box will have another customer since she also likes giving unique and special gifts.
Arrived on time and my friend loved it. Really lifted her spirits
Delivered quickly (over Thanksgiving) and the recipient loved everything in the package.
The skin care products are outstanding, very gentle yet effective. Perfect gift for someone dealing with cancer.
The person was grateful for all the items and knows they will be helpful during treatment
My sister was just diagnosed with HER2 positive breast cancer. 2 tumors in her left breast and 1 lymph node. She will have her 2nd chemo treatment next week (out of 6). Surgery after then radiation. She has a long road to go. My other sister and I thought this care package would give her some comfort. I will be giving it to her this Sunday (November 9th) when I visit her in Indiana. I am sure she will love it.
Campaign
As a cancer survivor I can attest if you don’t know how to support your loved one during a difficult time this is the most thoughtful gift. Shows love, hope and support.
I gifted this to a friend undergoing chemo. She loved the thoughtful items included in the Balm Box.
I love it!
Well done!
My friend loved the seat belt padding for her port!
The receipient of the gift felt all of the items were thoughtful and was very thrilled to receive it.
We sent it to a dear friend undergoing radiation treatment for lung cancer. She loved it.
Sometimes the best medicine is a thoughtful gesture. A special gift that will hopefully make the healing therapy a little more bearable.

Do you ship internationally?
The Balm Box can ship some items internationally. We work through an international shipping partner, who does not allow us to ship food or essential oils. Therefore, we modified our core product line to follow those parameters. Furthermore, currently we are only able to ship to Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, and the European Union.
You can find our international product line here. Be sure to select the correct currency of the ship-to destination. Select currency from the drop down menu on the bottom left hand corner of the footer bar. Once the currency is selected, all available gift boxes will appear on the page. You must make your purchase in the currency of your shipment’s final destination. We know - it’s really wonky! But it’s the least-bad way we have to accommodate International orders for the time being. Thanks for your patience.
