I would also recommend Lulu, and I would also recommend that you read the Publish America forum. There's a REASON it has its own forum and every other publisher has a single thread.
I'm sorry to disappoint you, but your timing is off for Christmas gifts. Editing takes time. Define what you mean as "real editing." Are you looking for someone to do copy editing -- clean up grammar and spelling only? Or are you wanting someone to do a deeper, more substantial dive, like an editor at a traditional publishing house would do? Neither option is inexpensive, but the latter will cost thousands.
Lulu is a good choice for just printing a few books. You can, I believe, take it down. Not sure why you'd want to, though.
You mentioned book signings, which implies to me that you're thinking of selling the book, not just giving it to friends and family. Are you sure the book is ready for that? You may want to hang around here, and then get a portion critiqued in Share Your Work. I can't speak for you, but I know I'd rather miss this holiday season and put out a quality product rather than rushing to market with something that doesn't have a hope of selling -- especially if I'm PAYING for cover art, editing, and printing.
