We’ve all done it at one time or another — waited until the very last minute to do some, most or even all of our holiday shopping. But worry not — on the following pages you’ll find terrific local retailers with plenty of inventory to please even the most discerning shopper. We couldn’t highlight them all, so we chose, at random, a dozen local stores and asked them to nominate gifts anyone would love to get. But there are hundreds of ads with even more great gift ideas in this edition. We urge you to check them all out and support our awesome advertisers. Happy Holidays!
