Gifts are a meaningful way to show someone you care. When a loved one has cancer, you may be unsure of what type of gift to get.

A well-intentioned gift can easily backfire. This is especially true if you don't know what it's like to live with cancer. For example, gifts that focus on how cancer has changed a person's body are not ideal.

Your friend or loved one probably doesn't expect you to know what it's like to have cancer. After all, no one can truly understand the experience until they've been through it.

Comfort during cancer treatment is often hard to come by. Treatment can involve sitting in hard plastic chairs and lying on uncomfortable exam tables. It may take place in cold clinics and hospital rooms that may not feel very homey.

Your friend may not feel up to leaving the house much. Excursions may be limited to doctor appointments or treatments. Because of this, cancer patients often cherish the comforts of home even more during this time.

Consider giving your friend some soft, cozy socks, slippers, pajamas, orrobes. Sheepskin and chenille items are ideal. A warm, softshawl or fleece blanket is the perfect way to wrap your friend in love and comfort. The fuzzier, the better!

Don't worry about color or pattern. You can even choose a color or pattern that reflects your own tastes. This can serve as a reminder of your friendship during the long and often lonely days of cancer treatment.
