    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.

    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.
