Let's be honest, shopping for the holidays isn't always easy. The stores are swelling with stressed-out shoppers and even more stressed temporary salespeople (more than half a million, to be exact). And they're all distracting you from the task at hand—finding unique and personal gifts in your price range. So each year, we offer our hassle-free, avoid-the-crowds gift guide. Perfect presents for your loved ones or your own personal wish list, all available online.
Updated daily.
