We aim to create a one-stop shop where useful gifts for cancer and other critical ill patients are available. Where thoughtful and meaningful gifts, especially curated for loved ones facing physical or mental challenges have been researched and sourced. We prioritize working with local suppliers, many who have faced their own health challenges. As a result, their products come from a genuine place of care and understanding. Some of our collections are designed to uplift spirits for those who find solace in humor. We offer a lighthearted approach to facing life’s toughest moments, because sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. For those who aren't afraid to confront the 'elephant in the room,' we offer the opportunity, to give it the proverbially two fingers! We also haven’t forgotten the incredible caregivers. Whether they’re medical professionals, friends, or family members, whose support often goes unnoticed. The ripple effects of one person's illness can reach far and wide. Recognizing that each journey is unique, we’d love to hear about anything that has helped you along your path. Your stories and suggestions could inspire and assist others traveling a similar road.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Margaret and for taking the time to leave it. We are very pleased to hear that you were happy with both the service and products that we carry. Much appreciated.
What a fabulous company this is!
What a fabulous company this is! I could not be happier with the whole process from start to finish. The products are all beautiful and so thoughtfully curated, and all Irish products too. Even the packaging was top-notch! The communication from Roisin was perfect, she was so helpful and made everything so easy. The person I bought the Chemo Care Package for was absolutely delighted and raved about the quality of all the products. I'm so happy I found the website, sometimes it's hard to know what the right approach is when someone is sick and this gift struck just the right tone. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Elephant In The Room. Thank you so much!

This is so generous of you Kate, thank you.
It can be really hard to know what feels right when someone is going through illness, so we’re very glad the care package struck the tone you were hoping for. That balance matters!
It’s also lovely to hear the Irish makers, the packaging and the communication all stood out. And most importantly, that the person receiving it was delighted, that’s the most important thing!
Thank you for taking the time to write this and for recommending us. It means a lot.

Hands down, this is one of the most thoughtful small businesses...
I’ve known about The Elephant in the Room for a few years now. I’d browsed the website many times, always thinking how thoughtful and unique it was, but thankfully, I’d never been in a position where I needed to use it.
Sadly, that changed recently when one of my dearest friends was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Like anyone in that situation, I desperately wanted to do something to send comfort, love, support, but the last thing I had the energy for was trawling through websites or walking around shops trying to piece together the “right” gift.
That’s where The Elephant in the Room truly shines.
Everything is already there practical, beautifully thought-out, well-researched and genuinely useful items that actually support someone going through illness. Even more incredibly, this woman-run business has carefully grouped care packages by illness, so you can simply click, choose, and know you’re sending something meaningful and appropriate without having to overthink or overwhelm yourself.
My friend absolutely loved the care parcel I sent her. She especially mentioned the queasy drops, saying they were the only thing that helped get rid of that awful metallic taste chemo leaves in your mouth.
Hands down, this is one of the most thoughtful small businesses I’ve ever come across with the biggest heart behind it.
I could not recommend The Elephant in the Room highly enough. A beautiful business doing deeply meaningful work.

Gena, I don’t quite know what to say, thank you.
I’m so sorry you and your friend are facing this. It really can be overwhelming trying to find something that feels right, so I’m very glad the website helped make that part a little easier for you.
Hearing that the queasy drops actually helped her means such a lot. And your words about the heart behind the business, they’re incredibly encouraging. Running a small business in this space can be emotional at times, so support like yours genuinely keeps me going.
Thank you for taking the time to write this and for backing what I do. It means more than you will ever know.
Wishing you both strength and good health in the months ahead and thank you again for taking the time to write this. Ro xx

Thank you Deirdre for taking the time to leave a review and for the wonderful 5 stars.
We really appreciate the feedback. Up the Irish!
Fantastic Service
I was a bit late ordering my cushions, just two days before my double mastectomy. Roisin got in touch with me immediately and reassured me that she would do her best to get them to me on time. She got them in the express mail and my husband had them in the car when he came to bring me home from hospital. They are the most beautiful cushions. And I also wasn’t charged for the extra post! I have to say this is top class service when you are in the most vulnerable times!

Maria, thank you for sharing this.
I remember how close to your surgery it was, so I’m really glad the cushions reached you in time and were there waiting when you came home. That’s exactly how it should be!
Hearing that they brought comfort during such a vulnerable moment means a great deal. And truly, there was no question of extra postage, getting them to you at that time was the priority.
I hope you’re recovering well now and being gentle with yourself. Thank you so much again for taking the time to leave this feedback. x

A little piece of 💘 in a box
I have ordered care packages quite a few times and can honestly say the items included are of the highest quality, the packaging is beautiful and the packages have been delivered in super quick time. My friends that have received the gift boxes were really delighted with the contents. I would highly recommend purchasing these care packages for anyone going through tough time.

Excellent service. Really friendly and efficient. I even got a personal email about my order to ensure that my card would have a message in it. Great care was taken to ensure the person I was sending the care package to would get a quality product. Thank you.
