    Time Out Chicago / Issue 143 : Nov 22–28, 2007
    Holiday Gift Guide

    Present tense?

    Whether you want a present for a loved one, something for the perfect party host or tales of gifts gone bad, we've got your guide to navigating the hardest part of the holidays.

    By TOC staff

    Give it a rest: Our gift to you: Eight unique presents that you can personalize.
    The mostest for the hostess: Lighten your party host’s load—but not your wallet—with these inexpensive gifts.
    Clear and present danger: They say it's better to give than to receive. That's especially true when you're receiving the gift from hell.
    Shopping showdown: They have one hour, $100 in cash and three people to buy presents for: How do a mom, an average joe and a pro tackle the task?
    Where to buy: How to find all the gifts in this week's issue.
    Web-exclusive
    Shop local, buy global: These off-the-beaten-path merchants travel the world for hard-to-find ethnic wares.
    Flavors of the month: Give the gift that keeps on giving by sending your family and friends these monthly presents.

      just an fyi...you advertise on page 30 of issue #143 that you can view gift of the month clubs. For some reason it comes up with the header on your website but says there are no files to be found. Can you please check on this, kust curious to see what you found for this gift category.
