A meaningful difference

My partner went through a breast cancer journey a few years ago and it really shook up our family. It was really hard some days and we had to pull together, be honest with the kids, and work through it. We had never dealt with cancer before so had to educate ourselves fast along with those around us. We learned to depend on the comfort of friends and family from close and afar, something we had rarely done in the past. People aren’t very good at asking for help, yet often that’s exactly what they need. So many families get hit by a challenge that comes from left field and it’s important for all of us to pull together because this is the magic ingredient that makes such a big difference. This journey was the inspiration for our passion project to help other individuals in a simple yet meaningful way. 

The LUCI Treatment Gift Pack was born from a similar pack given to my partner by a friend that had also been through a breast cancer experience.  She was happy to pay it forward and put together a collection of carefully selected items before she started her treatment. These were things she herself had used or needed on her own journey so she knew they would be helpful. The pack is called Luci - L.ove U.nlocks C.onnection I.nstantly - because these were the 2 main things that made all the difference to our family’s journey. Lately, there’s been talk about the biggest contributors to death on a global basis. It’s not cancer, heart disease or strokes, it’s isolation - people being left alone and not being surrounded by love and connection. It’s easy to make a difference for even one person and hardly takes any effort at all.

We curated our LUCI Gift Pack with only the highest quality items that we knew first hand would be used and valued. We searched as close to home as possible first to support our Aussie locals and we kept our eco-footprint as small as possible. Each of the items in the pack is multi-purpose, can be shared and used over and over. This is a gift with heart.

The pack includes: 

  • A super lush Bambury Blanket in silver or charcoal to ensure you stay warm and cosy no matter where you are. Bring home with you.

  • A Corban & Blair Recycled Leather Notebook in yellow (like sunshine or red) to write down all those thoughts racing around your head or to lose yourself in doodling.

  • A Lamy Metal Pen that is dependable and feels smooth to use.

  • A Wheatbag by Wheatbag Love in an Aussie black gum pattern that can be cosy warm or refreshingly cool.

  • A Boc & Co Soy Candle to fill your space, whether it’s home or trying to recreate home, with magical smells.

  • A Fridge-to-go Medium Lunch Bag in your colour choice so you can always have yummy fresh food and drinks close at hand.

  • A Maverick Insulated Vacuum Metal Bottle that ensures cool water up to 48 hours or warm tea up to 12 hours.

  • A Travel Size Hand Sanitiser by Grown Alchemist to literally keep germs at bay to keep you safe (50ml size only)

This Luci gift pack may have been created for someone going through a tough time, although it’s really ideal for someone on any journey - pregnancy, baby, retiring, death in the family, thank you, milestone, etc. Do you want to make a difference in someone’s world? We are donating $5 from every pack to the amazing world of Home Care Heroes who make a huge difference to the well-being of individuals that are often overlooked in a very special unique way.

We would be so grateful if you shared our unique gift pack with your people and place of work in case they ever have someone that needs extra special nurturing and a bouquet of flowers just won’t cut it. You can pool together your mother’s group or friend circle to make a difference to that one person who needs support and show you care. You’ll end up feeling pretty darn good yourself. #lucipack  #homecareheroes
