New England is home to hundreds of colleges and universities. It’s also home to Red Sox Nation, arguably one of the most rabid sports fan bases in the world. Want to spice up the life of a Sox fan on your list? Get them Big Papi’s En Fuego Hot Sauce and even the most mundane cafeteria meal will be a hit. Big Papi (David Ortiz) is known for his love of the hot stuff almost as much as he is known for his batting prowess, so you’ll hit a home run with this gift. Plus, part of the proceeds go to support David Ortiz’s Children’s Fund, which helps children in need throughout New England, as well as in Ortiz’s home country, the Dominican Republic. Buy some of the mini bottles (four for $10.99) at www.bigpapienfuego.com.

Have any music lovers on your list? Let them in on the backstories of their favorite lyrics with Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song (Chicken Soup for the Soul, LLC, $14.95).

From Paul Anka to Kanye West to Christina Aguilera, this book is an eclectic mix of music and musings. Find it at a bookstore near you.

Here’s a smart gift for sleepy students: the Neverlate Alarm Clock ($34.95 www.americaninnovative.com). Now, there will be (almost) no excuse for oversleeping, thanks to seven separate alarm settings, one for each day of the week. Set a week’s worth of alarms at a time—from early morning practices to lazy weekend mornings–and you are good to go. Nappers will also enjoy the power nap setting, which allows them to catch some shut-eye during the day without messing up their morning settings.

If they were to rewrite the lyrics the song “My Favorite Things,” there would definitely be a line about n-a-p® socks. Slip on these socks—which come in a pack of three pairs–and slip into your own slice of heavenly fleecy comfort and warmth. They come in pretty pink, blue, and cream for women, and while the patterns for the men are a bit garish (green, red, and brown!), these socks are meant to be worn indoors, preferably when cuddled up under a n-a-p® blanket. Find them at Brookstone or on www.brookstone.com: $20 for the socks (2 for $30 in time for the holidays) and $39.95 for the blanket.
