No gifts or care packages are required, but I have been asked for some care package ideas. Because I am incredibly sensitive to smells, please only unscented products unless specified. - Cozy socks
- 8 to 16 oz double walled tumbler (so it doesn't sweat) with lid & with a flip spout or a hole for a straw
- Puzzle books (word search, soduku) - no actual puzzles please
- Magazines (entertainment, home, recipe/eating)
- Soft, cozy blanket/throw
- Anti-nausea candies (gin gins, quesy pops)
- Flippy Multi-Angle Soft Pillow Lap Stand for iPads, Tablets, eReaders, Smartphones, Books or similar (https://www.amazon.com/Multi-Angle-Tablets-eReaders-Smartphones-Magazines/dp/B00MFWDVGG/ref=asc_df_B07CLK5RS4/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=309779531175&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3061442466820087871&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031528&hvtargid=pla-570612962593&ref=&adgrpid=62412137260&th=1)
- I'm in bed or on the couch a lot so a cushy tablet stand like this would be great to use on my lap or laying down
- Luden's Cherry Cough Drops (these are a great hard candy to help w/ dry mouth)
- A favorite recipe of yours that is more basic (not complicated and basic flavors - my diet is much blander these days)
- Saltine crackers, graham crackers or bears, luna protein bar chocolate mint, rold gold thin pretzels (that's the only one that isn't too dry for me), microwave kettle or homestyle popcorn (not buttered), goldfish crackers
- snack sizes & individual packets are great to have with me when I'm out of the house & to stash at my bedside
Beauty Related & Toiletries (unscented - most scents make me nauseous)
- "Tums" or other brand of chewable antacid in assorted fruit flavor
- Soft adult manual toothbrush
- Natural or organic unscented hand soap (like Method - not sure if natural is the right word)
- Unscented hand lotion
- Lip Balm
- Unscented wet wipes
- Unscented hand sanitizer (travel size)
- Nexcare "painless" bandaids
Gift Cards- Chick-fil-a (Their milkshakes are the only thing I crave & buy outside the home)
- Taco Bell or Carl's Junior for Brian & Alex to go out for dinner

Cookbooks & BooksA favorite book of yours - physical or kindle"What to Eat During Cancer Treatment: 100 Great-Tasting, Family-Friendly Recipes to Help You Cope" by Jeanne Besser, Kristina Ratley, and Sheri Knecht"The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen, Second Edition: Nourishing, Big-Flavor Recipes for Cancer Treatment and Recovery" by Rebecca Katz and Mat Edelson
- We have a kindle featherlight & I read it on my phone and tablet
- I would prefer cookbooks in print

No Thank You'sNo plants or flowers (they actually carry a lot of germs & I can't defend against them)

Fragrant beauty products
