If you need this gift guide right now, you're probably fucked. Begin your journey having already accepted this fact, and the process will be easier. You are not going to find a good present, not for anyone, not now, and especially not after midnight. And after that point, you have but one steadfast friend with open doors to help you meet your festive obligations, and that is the drugstore. If you can find a Walgreens, CVS, or Rite Aid — all of which are open on Christmas Day — you're going to be fine. And no matter how tiny the store, these chains contain gift solutions that aren't totally heinous so long as you manage expectations: At this late hour, you're not going for the gift-giving gold — you're just trying to finish the race.
