I keep this page for the stretch between Black Friday and Christmas morning, because that's the one part of the year when the calendar does more of the deciding than you do. Some of you are shopping three months ahead. Some of you are shopping against a deadline that arrived faster than planned. Neither one is a failure of care, and a gift chosen under time pressure or a tight number still counts as a good gift. The two guides below are built around the week you're actually in, not the one you wish you'd started.
