The newest holiday tradition is seasonal merchandise from music's biggest acts. And while no one does it quite like Beyonce, this year Rihanna is making a go of it with her "pimp claus" socks by Stance ("Santa better have my presents"). Meanwhile honorable nods go to The xx's "holiday jumper" (which Americans would know best as an ugly sweater), The Flaming Lips wrapping paper (for a good cause) and Daft Punk's ornaments (because what tree would be complete without a couple robot heads hanging from it?).

Help your loved ones snuggle up with some good books this chilly season. While the weather outside is frightful, treat them to biographies on David Bowie, Joni Mitchell, Lou Reed and more. Or how about an oral history of the 2000s New York City rock scene, an appreciation of Bob Dylan, Action Bronson's debut cook book or Gucci Mane's memoir? There are plenty of great options to choose from this year.

For the super fans in your life -- or those with an insatiable curiosity -- look no further than box sets and special-edition vinyl reissues. Garth Brooks' 'Anthology' is part-memoire, part-rarities CD collection and part-photo album, looking back at his first five years, while "Weird Al" Yankovic strikes a sillier tone with his career-spanning collection contained in an accordion case. Meanwhile, rock enthusiasts will get a kick out of these old-but-new Queen and Metallica offerings, or praise one of the greatest blues icons around, John Lee Hooker, 'King of the Boogie.'

For gearheads looking to add an awesome new piece of tech to their collection, try out the Spire Studio home recording setup perfect for tracking some serious shredding with St. Vincent's signature guitar by Ernie Ball. Or, for home audio, the new Chromecast dongle is a nicely affordable option for wireless streaming, while Sonos One is the latest in the leading brand's repertoire and Amazon Echo's second generation model now comes with a new speaker and the best music capabilities of any smart home device on the market. Meanwhile, vinyl fans will appreciate Sou'Laes Audio's vinyl stabilizer that improves a record's sound by minimizing vibrations and anyone missing Apple's long-since discontinued iPod Shuffle will love Mighty's minute Spotify shuffling capabilities. And, for the big spenders out there, check out Crosley's retro vinyl-playing jukebox, which also acts as a Bluetooth receiver (since it is 2017 after all).
