Christmas is just over a week away and we’re tackling some last minute holiday shopping. We are already starting to reach retailers’ Christmas Shipping Times, and it is already too late to order many products for delivery before December 24th. Don’t panic yet if you still have to check some last names on your gift list.
Many stores still offer in-store and curbside pickup, so you can completely avoid the headache of shipping during the holidays. While what is available will ultimately depend on your individual location, we’ve rounded up some of the more popular products that can be found in stock at retail outlets across the country.

Cards Against Humanity is by far the funniest way to alienate your family. This is the base game, which includes 100 prompt cards and 500 response cards for thousands of potentially absurd combinations.
