Looking for holiday gift ideas, but not sure what to get the person who has everything? Are you among the 60 percent of American shoppers who still hasn’t crossed everyone off their holiday gift list? If so, consider a gift that keeps on giving, and, no, I’m not talking about a subscription to “The Jelly of the Month Club.” Every year 150,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and 50,000 people will die from the disease. Why not finish that holiday shopping and purchase gifts that will not only please the grouchiest Scrooge, but also benefit colon cancer awareness and research?
