We hope you all have a happy holiday season with your loved ones this year! As we go back to in-person holiday celebrations, gift-giving is back in full force. If you're like us, finding the right gifts for people can be the most stressful part of the holiday season. Especially if the person you're shopping for has cancer and you're trying to find gifts to make their life easier and more comfortable during treatment. We have some gift recommendations here from our team and community. If you're looking to create a care package for someone currently in active treatment, make sure to also look at our Practical Gift Guide!
