There’s a certain breed of consumer that revels in the danger of last-minute holiday shopping.

It’s risky, as many products are sold out. It’s often crowded. And it’s a crapshoot, since most retailers have irregular hours.

We can’t help with the stocking issues (and we’ve already given our best suggestions on what to buy your friends and loved ones). But if you’re going to roll the dice on your gift giving (or needed to make a last minute purchase), we can help with when you can hit the stores.

Of course, it’s always smart to call first and some locations will have different hours than their parent company.
