R&B Teez. These Flemington, N.J., apparel entrepreneurs emblazon classic 1950s blues and rock-and-roll record labels on T-shirts ($18), coffee mugs ($8), and cold-beverage-holding koozies ($3). Your mate can advertise that she's an "Independent Woman" (by Jackie Brenston & His Delta Cats, on the Chess label) or a "Real Gone Gal" (by John Lee Hooker on the Philadelphia-based Gotham label).

Ladies And Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones. Keith Richards' autobiography, Life, is the must-read rock book of the season, but it's not the only Rolling Stones stocking-stuffer. Just as recommended is an in-performance document of the Stones at their very best, filmed over four Texas shows during the 1972 tour for Exile on Main Street - unavailable on DVD until now. And speaking of Exile, that dense and brooding masterwork was reissued earlier this year with a disc's worth of extra tracks. (Ladies And Gentlemen, $11.99; Exile on Main Street, $23.99; both on Amazon.com)

Hank Williams' The Complete Mother's Best Recordings . . . Plus. This is a 15-CD (and one DVD) box packaged to look like an old-fashioned tabletop radio, complete with an on-off switch that plays a snippet of one of the 72 rediscovered radio shows Williams recorded while shilling for Mother's Best flour in 1951. The downside is that Williams' frequently off-key wife, Audrey, often sings one song mid-show. The upside: This set vastly expands the recorded output of the Hillbilly Shakespeare. ($199.95, at www.hankwilliamsmothersbest.com)

Cruise with me, baby. Depending on how you like the music with your umbrella drinks, here are three high-end cruises: The Boyz II Men Love Cruise features the Philadelphia '90s R&B hit makers, floating from Miami to the Bahamas from Feb. 11-14 (starts at $639 at BoyzIImencruise.com). The adult- alternative Cayamo Cruise 2011 gets you alone with Steve Earle, Richard Thompson, the Indigo Girls, Loudon Wainwright III, Brandi Carlile; sailing from Miami to St. Croix, Feb. 13-20, starting at $1,099 (www.cayamo.com). And for something more trashy, Kid Rock offers for the first time the Chillin' the Most Cruise, April 7-11, from New Orleans to Cozumel, starting at $799 (kidrockcruise.com).

SITi: 9mm earphones. Is there a music lover in your life you'd like to see with a bullet in the ear? With these earphones, you have your chance. SITi stands for Standard Issue Titanium, and these buds, available in silver and gold, are made to look like 9mm shell casings. They look cool, feel snug in the ear, and the sound specifications are high, with particularly impressive bass response. ($159 at munitio.com)
