My brother just had his first chemo treatment, and I wanted something comforting for him. He received it and commented on how nice a gift it is. As a man of few words, this was as effusive as I have ever heard him.

Men's Chemo Care Package Essentials Includes:
Throw Blanket
Whether it’s surgery, chemo, radiation, or recovery – all can be utterly exhausting and overwhelming for cancer patients. Clinical fatigue is listed as a very common side effect for all, often lingering long after patients complete their final treatment. Cancer patients are often encouraged to take breaks throughout the day and be sure to rest. And what better way to rest than by curling up with this cozy throw blanket? Super soft and squishy, plus washer-safe should it encounter any spills or stains. *Plush blanket colors may vary.
Ginger Mints
From taste-receptor issues to nausea, ginger mints are a must for cancer patients. These have just the right amount of ginger flavor, without being too spicy or too sweet.
Stainless Steel Tumbler
Most cancer patients will hear their care teams remind them to stay hydrated about 1-billion times. (We miiiight be exaggerating here…) Our stainless steel, vacuum insulated tumbler with leak-proof lid and eco-friendly straw attachment will keep drinks icy cold or piping hot for hours. The skinny format fits in almost any cup holder and is easy to grip, even for those suffering from neuropathy in their hands.
Botanical Body Cream
Dry, cracked, and tender skin can be common surgery and treatment side effects. We adore this unscented lotion from our friends at Polish Your Parts. This particular formula was inspired by medical field professionals who constantly wash their hands, need quick relief and are not able to wear fragrance. Knowing cancer treatments can make even light scents unbearable, this scent-free lotion offers quick absorption and a smooth velvety finish.
Men's Chemo Care Package Comprehensive Includes ALL items in Essentials PLUS:
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:
- 7" x 4" x .25" // 18 cm x 10 cm x .6 cm
- 185 Grams // 6.2 fl oz
Cuticle Oil
Some chemotherapy medicines can cause temporary changes to nails – they can become brittle or flaky, and white lines may develop across them. Dry cuticles can be especially itchy and painful.
This cuticle oil nourishes dry, cracked skin. Made with a combination of safe, sustainable, organic, and natural ingredients. We love the form factor of these oil "pens" making application super easy without any waste or mess!
Men's Chemo Care Package Tremendous Includes ALL items in Essentials AND Comprehensive PLUS:
Mouthwash Tablets
Sometimes chemotherapy can irritate the inner mouth with painful mouth sores and dry mouth. We love these itty-bitty mouthwash tablets - in addition to being all natural and portable, they are alcohol-free and gentle on tender mouth and gums. Plus, one tin provides 62 mouthwashes - that’s 4x more than an 8.5 ounce liquid bottle!
Nix Nausea Essential Oil
Loss of appetite and nausea are some of the most well-known chemotherapy side effects. Nix Nausea essential oil roll-on sticks were specially designed to address stomach upsets and discomfort. Infused with the goodness of avocado oil and Camellia seed oil, the Polish Your Parts proprietary essential oil blend delivers a touch of nature's nourishment. The combination of peppermint, orange, fennel, cardamom, ginger, catmint, and lemon essential oils work harmoniously to help calm senses and ease queasiness. Vitamin E adds an extra layer of care, leaving skin feeling rejuvenated and replenished.
Anti-Nausea Acupressure Wristband
Acupressure has been used for thousands of years to promote relaxation and wellness. These simple but effective wristbands work by applying pressure to the P6 (Nei Kuan) acupressure point on each wrist. Simply place them around your wrist three fingers from the heel of your palm. Applying pressure to this point should help relieve nausea. Plus, once done with chemotherapy they are great for any activity that triggers motion sickness, like sailing, roller coasters, or long car rides. *Wristband colors may vary

I ordered this for my friend, who was diagnosed with lymphoma. He starts chemo next week. He just received the box in the mail today and he loved it! He particularly said he loved the cream. Thank you for making such thoughtful gifts for cancer patients.
The recipient was very encouraged by all the items seeing as though he's going through chemo and radiation for cancer
We actually sent this gift to a client/friend. My boss asked me to find a gift for someone recovering from Cancer. I found all of your beautiful and thoughtful gifts online in a search. I attached the message from the recipient and I'm so happy to know that you exist and that there are special gifts to be given to all of the people we know and love fighting through Cancer.
My dear Friend was thrilled with the gift packaging as well as the contents. He said each item was thoughtfully chosen and will be quite useful during his chemotherapy treatments.
He loved it and enjoyed all the goodies right away! What a great way to let someone know you are thinking about them.
This gift was for my brother and he absolutely loves it! He said he wishes he could send one to every patient going through chemotherapy at the hospital where he has his treatments. It was so appreciated!
My friend really appreciated! I received a Balm box when I was going through treatment and loved your products. Thank you!
Recipient loved and appreciated the gift.
The recipient loved it…said it brought some tears at how thoughtful the gift was.
Really enjoyed purchasing my balm box! My friend was recently diagnosed with a very difficult cancer, and I wanted to make him more comfortable through his treatments of chemotherapy, surgery, and potential potentially radiation. Bought a balm box and he loved it. So happy these exist! Thank you for the great products that you provide for people in need for those of us that don’t know quite what to send. 💖
Just received a thank you note from my friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer and it undergoing difficult treatment. We hope this lovely box of treatment-appropriate gifts give him some relief.
Much appreciated gift. Thank you for taking the confusion out of finding the right gift for a friend in need. Thoughtful, useful items. Second purchase from this wonderful company.
I got this for my uncle & he absolutely loved it!! He was touched at how thoughtful the items are. I'm sure they'll come in handy once he starts his therapy. I wanted to get him something useful but also bring comfort & didn't know where to start. After reading HOW you curate the boxes to include what they do made me realize I would have missed the mark had I done it myself. So THANK YOU, for taking the guess work out of it & making it practical & comforting at the same time.
The recipient was very grateful for the gift and found it to be very thoughtful. I'm so glad a product like this exists to support those going through a rough time.
My cousin is only 18 years old and he was just diagnosed with leukemia. I was having a hard time figuring out what to get him as they do have most things they need in the hospital. I just wanted to find him something that was kind and useful he really loved the blanket in the box and said it was so soft, he also really loved the handcream because his hands are so chapped and dry right now and he says it smells great. Thank you so much for this that you do.
The gift went to someone else, but he said that he really loved it so it had to be very nice thank you very much

My brother in law was diagnosed with cancer and Balm Box was the perfect gift as his treatments progressed. The packaging was extremely well done and presented well. Each item has a purpose, perfect gift.
Our friend who received the Men's Chemo Care Balm Box from my husband and I sent a text message that said, " I was reading about the things you guys gave me in the balm box kit. Those things are incredible! I just used the ice pack on my shoulder. This evening at a church event I was told that I'll need to use more mouth wash to battle some side effects. Some mouth wash mints were included in the box. And of course the ice pack I know will be the most handy thing I can carry with me. Thank you so much for thinking of me and getting those things for my comfort. We are so happy our friend will be prepared as he begins this journey to wellness with the comfort of Balm Box.
They loved the gift box. The items were ideal for their healing.
Staff took the time to ensure package got send correctly. Beautiful gift, presented very warmly yet a great guy gift going through this battle. Thank you for providing a comforting gift.
Love the gift!!
I purchased this gift for a family member going through chemo and he was moved to tears when he received it. His exact words was "it really touched my heart", and he was very grateful for such a thoughtful gift.
Such a thoughtful idea. Thank you for using your experience to help others!
This was a gift. I didn’t tell them it was from me so I can’t really give feedback, but it looked great to me! Customer service was amazing!
A great way to show support for a loved one facing a cancer journey. It was much appreciated.
Great products according to my dear cousin battling cancer .
I looked at chemotherapy gift boxes offered by several different companies and decided to purchase the Balm Box's Men's Chemo Care Package because I thought it contained the nicest, most thoughtful selection. Customer service was kind and empathetic, which is very much appreciated during this difficult time. I hope I don't have to make this type of purchase again, but if I do, it will be from Balm Box.
It was a thoughtful gift for my husband during this difficult time.
Your Balm Box was fabulous! You had everything my nephew could have asked for. He so appreciated the thoughtfulness in sending it to him and I appreciated your quick response in getting it out so quickly. Many thank you’s! Nancy Cornett
Unfortunately my brother is going through chemo. We live a couple of states away and I wanted to do something meaningful. He received the package and was truly overwhelmed with the thoughtfulness that went in to creating this box. Thanks so much! Sandy
Easy ordering process and recipient was pleased. He’s already using several items!
My nephew seemed to likew the gift. It contains several things he can use now.
My dad loved the blanket. The only problem was that the box was clearly cut open with a box cutter when it arrived. I think he got everything he was supposed to but that was quite strange.
My friend appreciated the gift, but I didn't get many details on what he liked best and didn't want to press.
I attempted to give some comfort. The person said I should be spending money on what he needs this wasn t it

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.
