It’s a Wrap

Your Last-Minute Holiday Gift Guide

You’ve got exactly seven and a half shopping days left until Christmas. So sit back, relax and continue doing what you’re doing for another five, maybe six days. But then, you should really go buy some gifts. Specifically, these gifts.

Some Locally Roasted Coffee
FOR THE SLOW STARTER

Some Locally Roasted Coffee

Despite your best efforts, mornings just keep on happening. Not much you can do about it. But you can make someone’s (say, your boss’s) AMs better with a strong cup of joe, like this locally roasted coffee from Noble Coyote. It’ll taste great in that “World’s Greatest Boss” mug from last year.

Tamales by the Dozen
FOR THE PECKISH

Tamales by the Dozen

Indisputable fact: no one likes fruitcakes. Fudge and cookies: better, but still kind of boring. Now, a dozen tamales stuffed with slow-roasted ancho chili pork or chicken tomatillo and delivered straight to your door... oh yeah, that’ll make someone happy. And smell great under the Christmas tree.

Some Impossibly Attractive Lingerie
FOR THE TEMPTRESS

Some Impossibly Attractive Lingerie

You know a certain someone who’d look pretty spectacular in a lacy bra. Or a barely there and overtly sexy corset. The kind of lingerie for which the phrase “Let me slip into something more comfortable” was invented. And, well, it’d be a shame to deprive them of such magnificence. It’s good to be selfless.

A Handblown Decanter
FOR THE ONE WHO REQUIRES A NIGHTCAP

A Handblown Decanter

A bottle of whiskey’s a good gift. In fact, go ahead, pick one up. It would be a nice accompaniment to these Society decanters. They’re made from handblown glass and have carved teak corks, so they’re suitable receptacles for that rare scotch you’ve been eyeing. It’s a shame you have to give it away.

Prices vary, available at Society, 403 N Bishop Ave, 214-942-4600

It’s a Scarf. But a Really Nice Scarf.
FOR THE COLD-BLOODED

It’s a Scarf. But a Really Nice Scarf.

Your dad: easy to buy for. Tie, bourbon, done. Your mom: much less so. But still, you can’t show up empty-handed. Again. So try a scarf from Krimson & Klover. They’re cozy, they’re classy, they’re... pretty easy to shove into a bag and put under the tree.
