If you're anything like Houstonist, you haven't finished all your holiday shopping yet. In fact, if you're anything like Houstonist, you've barely even started. But don't worry: We're putting our gift lists together and pulling out some of our more inspired ideas to share with y'all. From music to DVDs to T-shirts to wet wipes, we've got you covered — but seriously, you probably won't want to give the wipes as someone's primary gift. Unless, you know, they're gold-plated, which would sort of defeat the purpose.

>> Turn that drinking problem into sheer entertainment: Are you participating in a Secret Santa/Holiday Gift Exchange with your fellow cubicle dwellers? Not sure what to get the quiet guy in IT? (Side note: He's quiet because he reads your e-mails and finds you disturbing.) The Infamous Drinking Bird ($4.99) will add some pizzazz to even the cubist of cubicles. Make sure you give a mug of vodka, too. For the bird. — Crystal Jackson

>> The world on DVD: Planet Earth: The Complete BBC Series ($54.99 from Amazon.com; also available at Borders and other local stores) is an 11-part series that explores the world like you’ve never seen it before. The series is awe-inspiring thanks to its breathtaking footage that makes you think, "How in the world did they get this shot?" Your friends will love you not only because the show is so beautiful, but also because they can now free up 11 hours of space on their DVRs. — Jason Bargas

>> Funky!: May we suggest the perfect holiday gift for the music nerd in your life? The Brit Box: U.K. Indie, Shoegaze, and Brit Pop Gems of the Last Millennium lives up to its name with four chronologically ordered discs covering the well-known and the obscure from the last two decades. Teenage Fanclub, Spiritualized, The Cure, Trash Can Sinatras and many more are featured in the 78-song set. At $54 from Amazon.com, that's about 69 cents a song — beat that! — Sophia Asare

>> Fresh!: It's all too easy to become cynical during this tired season of gift-giving. Most of us have at one point entertained grand ambitions to give life-changing gifts — presents that will leave a lasting impression on our loved ones' lives. We instead encounter weak smiles of feigned gratitude despite the hours spent agonizing over the selection of motorized tie racks. Now's your chance to really give that special someone a new lease on life: Cottonelle Fresh pre-moistened wipes. It's nigh impossible to describe in words the full extent of freshness that these miraculous wipes deliver; only through first-hand (left or right, doesn't matter) knowledge may you come to fully appreciate their awesomeness. What you're really giving is a new lease on life, a fresh skip in the step and a profoundly more sanitary laundry load at the end of the week. Cottonelle Fresh wipes are quite easy to find (all supermarkets and drug stores) and economical, too (Sam's sells a 220-count carton for $10). With their insanely high satisfaction-to-cost ratio, they make the perfect gift for your Secret Santa or your Estranged Father. This will bring you two on speaking terms again, trust us. — Hector Chavez

>> A font a day: Houstonist has always been partial to nice typefaces and clean design. We also like knowing what day it is. So it's only natural that we would dig the Pentagram Design Typographical Calendar ($22 for desk size; $36 for giant size). The calendar features 12 typefaces designed by Matthew Carter in a modern, uncluttered grid that beats the pants off other options. — Jim Parsons

>> Just go to Domy already: Looking for something offbeat and quirky? Be sure to visit Domy Books, 1709 Westheimer just west of Dunlavy. For everyone from your street-punk nephew to your emo cousin, Domy has books, videos, original art, clothing, vinyl toys and much more — there’s something there in all price ranges and for all tastes. Y'know, like a T-shirt from Houston's very own misfits of yarn, Knitta ($26). This crew of ragtag yarn whores has fitted its own brand of tagging on monuments, street signs, handrails, cars and much more from San Francisco to New York to London and Paris and all points beyond and in between. They've even been mentioned on SNL's Weekend Update, so you know they're cool. — Eric Sauseda

>> Walking is, like, so 2006: Segway Personal Transporters are out — who wants something that mall cops and mail carriers ride? Rebel against the conventions of your golf community with a Bushpig ($940). Wheelman bills the vehicle as “motorcycle for your feet.” Imagine a skateboard with two off-road tires instead of eight polyurethane wheels and a powered cruising speed of 20 m.p.h. With specs like that, Houstonist considers it a stylish new way to break ankles. — Jason Bargas

>> Local legends, now on CD: Pearland new wave/pop band The Judy's caused quite a stir in the Texas music scene in the early 1980s — enough of a stir to be asked to open for The B-52's and Talking Heads. They even turned down a record contract from Warner Bros. But this month, years since their records went out of print, The Judy's finally released Washarama and The Moo Album on CD ($16 each from Wasted Talent Records). Not only do you get to hear the hits "Guyana Punch," "All the Pretty Girls" and "Don't Be a Hippie," but you also get their first EP, The Wonderful World of Appliances, and David Bean's solo record Modomusic as bonus tracks. It's not only great for older music fans, but the younger ones will realize how ahead of their time The Judy’s were, too. — Eric Wilson

>> A sense of (be)longing: What do you get for the Houstonian who has everything? The way we see it, you have a couple of options: Either get them nothing, which rarely goes over as well as we had planned, or find something cool and unexpected like a membership in/donation to one of the city's arts or cultural groups. There are lots of choices, including Aurora Picture Show, The Menil Collection, Buffalo Bayou Partnership, DiverseWorks, GHPA, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston and Lawndale Art Center. It's way cooler than a gift card, you'll feel good about yourself and you can spend as much as you want, from $25 to (gulp) $10,000. — Jim Parsons

>> Sleep tacky: Need something tacky and different for this year’s white elephant party? A lava lamp nightlight will meet the tacky, yet slightly desirable, criteria as well as the usual $10 or less price point. Houstonist has one at our ranch, but we only plug it in for special occasions — like Wednesdays. Available at most big box retailers and anywhere else tacky is featured. — Jason Bargas
