Gifts for People with Cancer: Port-Accessible Crewnecks for Comfort and Ease
When someone you love is diagnosed with cancer, it’s hard to know exactly what to do or what to give to bring them comfort. I remember that feeling all too well. My twin sister Brinlee was in treatment, and so many friends and family wanted to help, but finding the right gift for someone facing cancer can be tough. You want something that’s meaningful, practical, and genuinely helpful—a gift that says, “I’m here with you through this.”
During Brinlee’s chemo treatments, I noticed how much she struggled with her regular clothes. She would stretch out her shirts just to make them work around her port, wincing as she tugged them over sensitive areas. It was then that we started brainstorming, wanting to create something that could ease that burden for her and others. This led us to design the port- and IV-accessible crewnecks, created specifically with cancer patients in mind.
These crewnecks are more than cozy clothing; they’re designed to meet real needs. Made from 100% cotton, they’re breathable and soft on sensitive skin. The plastic zippers down the arms and chest allow for easy access to ports and IVs, letting patients receive treatment without having to undress or stretch out their shirts. Plus, the zippers are scan-friendly, so they don’t set off metal detectors or cause issues during medical scans—a thoughtful touch for anyone in and out of the hospital.
If you’re looking for a gift that truly supports a loved one going through cancer, these crewnecks might be just what you’re searching for. They’ve become one of the best gifts for cancer patients because they offer both comfort and accessibility in a way that regular clothing simply can’t.
For anyone looking for the best gift for someone going through a hard time, this crewneck could be the perfect way to show you care. It’s not just about warmth; it’s about giving something that truly supports their journey, helping them feel seen and understood.
And because we knew that loved ones also want to show support, we created a supporter crewneck—a regular, non-zip version that friends and family can wear as a symbol of togetherness. For those who want to be there for their loved ones in a visible way, this supporter crewneck is a warm reminder that they’re standing with them, through every step.
