The window has closed for online holiday shopping, but local businesses can still save your day.
Why it matters: Panic shopping is very real. Nearly 157 million people planned to shop for holiday gifts this past Saturday, per a survey by the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics.
Yes, but: North Texas has many stores where you can source holiday gifts, without having to worry about shipping delays.
Here are some recommendations…

🤠 Bullzerk: Texans with a sense of humor will appreciate Bullzerk's punny T-shirts and accessories. Locations in Dallas and The Colony.
