If you didn’t do any Christmas shopping this year because you were waiting for the end of world, well, we have bad news for you: we’re all still alive. And yet, we’re here to help you make your own Christmas miracle, by rounding up our picks of the 25 best local gifts to get and putting them in one place. We’ve got hand-painted baseball cards, magic rocks that regulate your whiskey temperature, skull bike lights and vegan treats. There’s something for everyone, up to and including those of you who have made the mistake of being Nets fans. So Merry Christmas one and all, even you, Emma Koenig.
