“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother”- Abraham Lincoln.
Most of us would say our mother is one of the most important people in our life. Mums and mother figures care, provide guidance, and show us love and support. So having a mother or being a mother undergoing cancer treatment and diagnosis can be a difficult experience. Role reversal or accepting extra help can feel uncomfortable. This is a normal response, and you are not alone. We want to add a little sunshine to all the mums undergoing cancer treatment this Mother’s Day, so we’ve put together our top 10 products for mums.

Nilaqua Shampoo Cap
Having fresh clean hair can revitalise the way you feel, but being in hospital or having limited movement can make it difficult for you to wash your hair.

It is the perfect little gift, especially when you’re expecting visitors.
