As Hooksexup readers know, 'tis better to give than to receive, although receiving is also nice. Whichever end you're on, this holiday season can bring a mammoth cornucopia of awesome swag, and we've got hints on what to get for the person who has everything (if, by "everything," you mean the pleasure of knowing you).
Wireless iPod sound system
There's nothing quite like that sensation of turning on your iPod and hearing the perfect song for that exact moment; suddenly, you're starring in the Wes Anderson version of your life. Sadly, the illusion is ruined as soon as you have to take the headphones off and interact with other human beings. Sustain the moment longer with these Zipconnect wireless speakers. Just transfer your iPod straight from your pocket to the custom module, then carry the portable speakers to any room in the house. The cute little speakers are waterproof, so you can even take them outside to experience that perfect rainy-day song while carrying on an actual conversation. — Gwynne Watkins

Six Feet Under: The Complete Series
Well, here it is: the greatest TV series of the last decade, all in one box — nearly 4,000 minutes. Those of us who lived through the undertakings of the Fisher family may find them difficult to revisit; I can't think of a show that was as emotionally exhausting. I even mute the TV when ads for Six Feet Under come on. But if someone you love has never seen it, why not go big? If they watch any of it, they'll probably watch it all. — Peter Smith

The Best of Helmut Newton: Selections From His Photographic Work
A Helmut Newton book should grace every coffee table. The German photographer — who took beautiful fetishy pictures of naked women and also had photos in magazines like French Vogue — not only wrote the book on classy kink, he filled it with his inimitably chic black-and-white images. Flip to a random page in a Newton book, and you might see a woman strangling a man on a park bench or a model wearing nothing but clear plastic boots. Pulling this out on a date makes it easy to segue from "Oh yes, I love photography," to "I'm also interested in erotic asphyxiation." — Sarah Harrison
[$23; Amazon.com]


 

Jessica Simpson patent-leather heels
Patent-leather shoes are in. I have surmised this from the fact that the Nine West store down the street has a table full, sitting there shining in beige and red and black. Even in Soho, at such a reputable store, they looked trashy, like Frederick's of Hollywood drag-queen shoes. I wanted them. So I looked on eBay to see if I could get some for $5. There, I found something even better: patent-leather shoes with cork platforms and open toes. Who would come out with something so impractical? Something that simultaneously evokes mental hospitals, grade schools and strip clubs? Why, Jessica Simpson, of course. — Ada Calhoun
[$60; Shoe Bungalow]

Casino Royale necklace
The James Bond franchise thrives on a potent mixture of sex, adrenaline and conspicuous consumption. It's impossible to watch a Bond film without a constant mental stream of "I wants;" i.e., while viewing Casino Royale: "I want a custom 1964 Aston Martin. . . I want to be a badass like Daniel Craig. . . I want Eva Green's necklace. . . I want Eva Green." Luckily, one of these things can actually be purchased from a retailer. Green's "Algerian love knot" pendant was created for the film by hip British jeweler Sophie Harley. Even without the Bond mystique, this is an enviably gorgeous and versatile piece. (And for the film geek with money to burn, it's a far better splurge than that reproduction Lord of the Rings sword.) Call 0207-430-2070 to get your name on the waiting list; once it's available, the necklace will sell for about $2,750. Still cheaper than the Aston Martin. — GW
