What makes a house, apartment building, Airstream trailer or yurt a vacation home? Of course, it's mainly the people (and pets) you share it with. But they are also the thoughtful gifts that are given and received.
This year's Gift Guide is full of delicious suggestions for all kinds of nest, dresser, shelf, pantry, and stocking fillers you'll love.
We've got clever gifts to relax your stressed friends, gifts that reward you, gifts for gadget fanatics, experiences to get people out of the house, and others that are guaranteed to make them feel comfortable when they return.
Need to get a white elephant gift for that office party? Or maybe you're looking for something special made right here in Los Angeles? We cover it there too.
And if you really want to leave the comfort of your elegant abode and the brave traffic, we've got an extensive list of the best independent gift shops across the South, where you can get your holiday haul and more.
Now let's go out and give gifts!
