~ BASKET OF CARE ~
Have you ever learned that a friend, co-worker, neighbour, or family member who had fallen ill or was no longer able to care for themselves? In situations such as these, often our first thought is, “what can I do?”
Very often we want to send the person something to let them know we’re thinking of them. Flowers, plants or a fruit basket sometimes just don’t fit the need; and what about the primary caregiver, how do you express that you care about them too? Now, with a simple click of your mouse you can send along a very special gift.
Each Basket of Care is designed by people who have experienced caregiving first hand. Every basket is lovingly packed with many items any patient or caregiver may need to help them during their journey.
Whether it’s a small personal flashlight to prevent a fall at night or a warm blanket to make cool nights more comfortable, each item is thoughtfully selected to say, “I care about you and what you’re going through.”
The generous people at Basket of Care were kind enough to send me this beautiful basket to review.
It is jam-packed full of goodies to help make a difficult time a little easier. The basket I received contained, to name just some of the items:
- personal CD player
- shawl
- The Saving of Gordon. Lifelines to W-I-N Against Cancer by Joni James Aldrich
- The Cancer Patient W-I-N Book, Our Cancer Fight Journal by Joni James Aldrich
- beautiful mug
- magnifying tablet cutter
- AM/PM seven day pill box
- lemon candies
- thank-you cards…and much more!
If you want to send a gift that says, “I understand”, visit Basket of Care.

I learned they have baskets for children
I love that each basket is so thoughtfully filled with items that actually help and soothe! Not just a bunch of filler candy and stuff like that
i wish I had known about this when my girlfriend was going through her cancer treatments. The women's baskets are chock full of things she needed – especially the blanket/shawl and heating pads – she was AlWAYS cold. Will definitely keep this in mind.
I learned that they offer a variety of specific cards and books in keeping with the care & hope theme of their baskets. What a great idea!It is common-place to give flowers and fruit baskets etc which are not all that personal especially when someone is going through a dreadfully scary event in their lives. I have had cancer twice and coming from that point of view, I think what they are doing is amazing!
Thanks so much for yet another great giveaway!

I thought the heating pad in the large Women's Cancer basket was a wonderful idea. I would never have thought of that item.
They really thought this through for people who need this. No-rinse shampoo and conditioner? Check. A pill cutter? Check. I'm very impressed!
I learned that they have Children’s A Day at the Zoo basket for sale
Love all the baskets but especially Children’s- A Day at the Zoo

my dad died of cancer but his was so far gone when he found out that he’d not have enjoyed anything in the basket, he was put on very heavy doses of morphine and didn’t know a lot of what was going on around him (thank God)
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad, cancer is a terrible thing.

I really like the message behind these “Care Baskets” and they have items in them that will really help instead of a bunch of stuff that will get thrown to the side and forgotten about!! I like the themes too, a basket for someone that has cancer is very thoughtful and helpful to people that don’t know what to do or say!! I would love to win any one of the baskets for an adult woman!!
Thank you for the opportunity!!

Thank you for this giveaway!
I learned that they have Children’s Baskets, which would be excellent for our grandchildren!
I thought the children’s baskets were precious. I just wish that they weren’t needed.
Going through a long-term illness with my mother, I see how it tests a person’s mettle. The thought of children going through the same makes me so sad.
I especially like their A Day at the Zoo basket for kids.
Well, all but one of their care baskets are geared toward children (2) or cancer patients (3), which I understand considering their history. For several years, I followed lots of kids with cancer on CaringBridge & spent hours weeping & mourning the loss of children I’ve never met, but knew them & their families via the internet. I had to make myself stop in order to spend more time with my own family. But, I still think of all of those kids & their families often.
I would like to see an expansion of the gift baskets for others. For instance, my sister-in-law recently spent time in 2 hospitals following a heart attack. Baskets for people in convalescence hospitals would be great, too.
i learned they have kids baskets, great for a birthday gift.
what a great idea. I never know what to send, it’s nice to know there’s someone to turn to that knows what an ill loved one would need!
the cancer baskets are so unique. I love the concept of them
I like the children zoo basket :)
I learned they have basketrs for children
As someone who has worked in hospitals… it’s refreshing to see such a thoughtful, unique and practical gift. It’s always a shame to see all the flowers people have spent lots of money on, sitting there wilting on the counter. I love how the baskets include things like books and card games…
I love the Thank You notes. My friend has been in the hospital for the past 2 weeks, suffering from complications from a c-section to deliver twin boys. She’s absolutely beside herself that she has to depend on the kindness of others to take care of her babies, 2 year old, 8 year old, and be there for her husband. She would LOVE to be able to hand out thank you notes with personalized letters to the nurses and friends that are helping. What a great idea!
i like the Childrens a day at the zoo basket
What a great idea! Something useful is so much more practical then flowers or candy!
cute they are cancer baskets i never knew anyone made them
I love the Children’s A Day at the Zoo Basket
