14th ANNUAL HOLIDAY STOCKINGS
FOR CHEMOTHERAPY PATIENTS PROJECT
What Goes In the Stockings?
Please note: we do most of our shopping in bulk - so we can get the bigger discount.
First, we fill a custom-designed mug with goodies such as: candy canes, jelly beans or mints, gum, herbal teas, and hot chocolate.
Then we add things to pass the time such as: a puzzle magazine, pen and/or pencil, highlighter, playing cards, and something fun - like a stress ball or Doodle-sketch.
Practical comfort items such as hand sanitizer, unscented lotion, lip balm and tissues are also included, along with a pocket calendar for keeping track of appointments and a note pad.
In 2011 we added in dental care items: toothbrushes, paste, floss and rinse - courtesy of several area dental practices.
We top off the stockings with a nice sturdy long-handled back scratcher - a proven favorite among our patients...
If you prefer to donate items: One item we always are in need of are diaries or journals. If you would prefer to buy something to donate, we are ALWAYS looking for journals. Please make sure journals are no larger than 5" x 8".
