This week's cover story | 2012 Holiday Gift Guide

Here's a sneak peek at what's coming up in this week's Time Out Chicago, on newsstands tomorrow:

There are a lot of myths at work when it comes to the holidays: Santa, for starters, and the whole idea that people are kinder to each other this time of year (have you seen a Wal-Mart on Black Friday?). But there are also plenty of myths surrounding holiday shopping, and in this issue we bust 'em. Among them:

• You can't find good gifts at the airport. (Busted! We found eight at O'Hare and Midway.)
• There are no good gifts for less than $25. (Also busted. We found eight.)
• The holidays are all about selflessness. (Busted again. These seven gifts benefit the giver, too.)

Plus, find tons of other gift ideas throughout the issue!
