Written by the company
We aim to create a one-stop shop where useful gifts for cancer and other critical ill patients are available. Where thoughtful and meaningful gifts, especially curated for loved ones facing physical or mental challenges have been researched and sourced. We prioritize working with local suppliers, many who have faced their own health challenges. As a result, their products come from a genuine place of care and understanding. Some of our collections are designed to uplift spirits for those who find solace in humor. We offer a lighthearted approach to facing life’s toughest moments, because sometimes, laughter really is the best medicine. For those who aren't afraid to confront the 'elephant in the room,' we offer the opportunity, to give it the proverbially two fingers! We also haven’t forgotten the incredible caregivers. Whether they’re medical professionals, friends, or family members, whose support often goes unnoticed. The ripple effects of one person's illness can reach far and wide. Recognizing that each journey is unique, we’d love to hear about anything that has helped you along your path. Your stories and suggestions could inspire and assist others traveling a similar road.

Easy to order and beautifully presented
It was very easy to put together a bespoke gift and have it delivered.
I had forgotten to put a message with the order and Roisín contacted me by email to remind me, which was extremely helpful. The gift was delivered within 2 days of ordering and was received with delight.

Thoughtful gifts for someone going through a very difficult time. I love the idea of all these gifts in the one place, beautiful quality, and thoughtfully selected. Easy to choose and send in a lovely gift box with a heartfelt message for a precious loved one going through an awful diagnosis/treatment. Also, excellent customer service. I had forgotten to chose a gift box and to include a message for the recipient, but the lovely people at Elephant in the room noticed, contacted me and sorted it right out, even sent me a photo of the finished package ready to sent off. Great company, wonderful customer service. Five stars.

Thank you so much for this, it really means a lot.
I’m delighted to hear that you love our concept and found everything easy to choose from. When someone you care about is facing a tough diagnosis, the last thing you need is added stress, so I’m happy we were able to sort the box and message quickly for you.
Thanks again for taking the time to write this. It really is very much appreciated.
Excellent service
Excellent service, very fast delivery and the recipient was thrilled with the socks, herbal tea and mug which was beautifully packaged I believe. During her treatment she is cold so the socks are a godsend and is feeling nauseous and can’t drink regular tea, she is looking forward to trying the herbal tea. Well done on selecting really useful gifts xxx

Thank you so much Carol for taking the time to leave this.
I’m really glad the socks, tea and mug were so well received. Treatment can be tough in so many small ways, so it’s good to hear the socks are helping and that the herbal tea might be something she can enjoy.
That’s exactly why we’re careful about what we include. ☺️
Thanks again for taking the time to write this review. It’s really appreciated. 🙏🏼

What a lovely company to deal with. From the order right through to delivery it was a pleasure. These gifts are inevitably at times of worry and distress but it was genuinely lovely to deal with this company. The hamper was also beautifully created. I cannot recommend theelephantintheroom highly enough.

Fantastic Irish Business
First of all I was so delighted with the high quality and how pretty the mastectomy pillow was and how much my mom loves it, but the customer service Roisin makes sure her customers receive is absolutely fantastic too! I would recommend Elephant in the Room to all my friends and family and will 100% be making further beautiful purchases. Thank you Roisin.

Megan, thank you so much for this.
I’m really glad your mum is happy with the pillow, that’s the most important thing! They’re made to be both practical and a little bit lovely while also bringing comfort, so it’s great to hear she loves it.
And thank you for the kind words about the service too. I really appreciate the recommendation. I hope your Mum is recovering well. ❤️ Roisin
