Can Cancer Patients Have Flowers?

Many people undergoing chemotherapy treatment may develop olfactory or taste/smell changes. Chemo can kill or slow the growth of cancer cells but may also damage healthy cells such as taste buds. Radiation to the head or neck area can also damage taste buds and salivary glands. The smell of flowers, perfumes and foods can become very unpleasant during this time. Additionally, plants and flowers can contain fungal spores that can compromise patients and increase their risk for infection — especially when the patient may need blood and marrow transplant. Although flowers are very well-intentioned, the wilting and dying of plants and flowers can induce emotional distress. Many hospital and medical facilities no longer allow flowers to be delivered. Our gifts for cancer patients take the guesswork out of the gift giving experience.

Get Well Baskets 

Brighten their day with the delivery of a get well care package for men and women from Just Don’t Send Flowers. Choose from a variety of thoughtful get well baskets that is not full of sugary or salty foods that may not be suitable for a patient's recovery or fruits / flowers that may not be fresh. Our gift baskets are carefully curated with helpful items for their recovery to help make them more comfortable and activities to keep to help with rehabilitation. Games, cards, and drawing help with fine motor skills which is just what the doctor ordered. Skincare is such an important part of daily well being so we offer gentle and nourishing lotions, bath treatments and sanitizers.

Chemo Baskets

Our thoughtful gifts for cancer patients are designed to help cancer patients going through cancer treatment. We have lots of gift ideas for chemotherapy or radiation treatment and even offer a variety of colors to match the cancer ribbon colors. 

Cancer Care Packages

Our cancer care packages focus on comfort for nausea, skin relief and physical comfort. Peppermint tea, queasy drops and ginger are a natural way of soothing nausea.  Beautiful scarves, comfy blankets and spa socks are always helpful.

Sympathy Baskets

Loosing someone or comforting a friend who has lost someone is always difficult.  Send a long lasting condolence, sympathy or funeral gifts instead of flowers. We have lovely tree gifts that can be planted in memorial as well as beautiful windchimes and planters.

 OUR STORY

Just Dont Send Flowers is dedicated to all of our family and friends who have battled cancer. In April of 2014, a dear friend, Angie St. Gelais was hospitalized suddenly and diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. As many of us do, I immediately turned to the internet to order flowers. I was told by friends in the CCU with Angie "Just Don't Send Flowers". I began researching and discovered that many cancer patients are very sensitive to flowers, fragrances and chemicals... and they don't really want candies/chocolates and other items routinely included in gift baskets due to the nausea often caused by chemotherapy treatment. However, most gift-givers want to send something beautiful that conveys the right sentiment to the patient. From the natural and nourishing skin products, to the useful tote/duffle bags to the jewelry and beautiful empathy cards (designed by a cancer survivor herself) - we hope to help you give the perfect gift, beautifully gift packaged and delivered with care.
