You have a friend or family member who has been diagnosed with cancer and they have to undergo chemotherapy.
Many people who are not the cancer patient seem to take this news harder than the patient does themselves.
One of the best gifts for cancer patients that you can give is a cheerful and upbeat appearance.
Make sure your attitude is positive.
Don't think that they won't notice if you are faking it.
They are already sensitive to their condition and potential appearance so really make that effort.
Other gifts for cancer patients can vary from person to person.
If you know the person well then you can choose something that will make them smile.
Lots of people love cross word puzzles and other such mind games.
There are always new books published with new crosswords in them.
They will give the person something to do and take their mind off their condition.
If the person has decided to purchase a wig to cover their hair loss there are lots of gifts for cancer patients that complement this.
When a cancer patient decides on a wig, they also need a wig stand or head form so the wig can rest when it isn't being worn.
The wig stand also lets them brush the hair out after wearing it all day.
There are other accessories that they will need for the wig such as a wire wig brush which they can use on the wig.
Some hair nets would be a great present because the wig should have a hair net when not being used to keep out the dust and also to keep it in shape.
Perhaps you could give the cancer patient some pretty small hair clips like tiny butterflies or something else that is pretty and will make the wig look a bit different.
But don't pick something that weighs much because they don't need any more weight on their head.
All the clip needs to do is grasp a few strands so it is a decoration, not something to hold the hair in place.
Cancer patients after chemotherapy often are cold.
A pretty light weight shawl to keep the shoulders warm would be appreciated.
In that same vein, they may decide they don't want to wear the wig all of the time so they might like to substitute a head scarf.
There are so many colorful and beautiful scarves available.
Choose one in pretty patterns or something that is in their favorite color.
It should be large enough to cove their head.
If the person has a hobby like knitting, then get them some great colored yarn and a new pattern book.
This also will occupy their time and their mind.
And the thoughtfulness is always appreciated.
Scrap bookers would appreciate new supplies.
It will be a tough time in their life so just about anything that makes them smile will genuinely be appreciated.
A big hug helps too, plus some kind words are also good choices.
