Dirt-cheap local gifts, event listings, and a poop log: Happy holidays from your friends at the Guardian
What to buy your headphone-obsessed loved one? Our picks, from boxed sets to lovely local scores
No, not Jesus. Tips on holiday volunteering and Bay Area gifts that give back
Don't go overboard with your partner this holiday season. Pick them up a simple present that's goofy, sexy, or sweet — but save the big bucks for a special date or trip out of town.
Let's be real: your ma's and pa's will like just about anything you box up and send their way this year. But that's not to say you shouldn't put a little effort in. Hit up these local businesses and they'll walk with something fab.
We call it purposeful goodwill: buttering up that cranky elder downstairs with a well-thought-out something around the holidays. Maybe next time you throw a rager, your neighbor will call you before the cops?
Presents for your best bud don't have to be major. Give them something to make the bike rides you share brighter or beermaking burlier. And when in doubt: bear socks.
