So loosen your new Brooks Brothers tie, throw on your Rat Pack Christmas CD, kick back on your Draper sofa, and sip some spiked eggnog from your Sterling Cooper mug... Mad Men is coming for the holidays!

Merry Christmas from Mad Men and Lucky Strike

Gift idea: MADMEN on DVD

This is a no-brainer for any Mad Men fan. Seasons 1 and 2 are already available on DVD and Blu-ray (separately or as a set). Season 3 is available for pre-order on Amazon.com. The sleek, limited edition Season 1 Cigarette Lighter Case is hard to find, but makes a particularly cool gift for the Maddict in your life.

Gift idea: MADMEN music

For starters, there's the official Mad Men Soundtrack and Original Score, plus two volumes of Music from the Series, featuring everyone from Perry Como to Peter, Paul, and Mary. And for a particularly festive gift of Mad Men-era music, don't miss the classic holiday album Christmas With The Rat Pack.

Gift idea: MADMEN-era movies

Revisit the Mad Men era with classic movies: The Best of Everything is a clear inspiration for Mad Men; Billy Wilder's The Apartment and Tracy & Hepburn's Desk Set capture romance and gossip in Manhattan offices. Cary Grant is the proto-Draper in Hitchcock's North By Northwest; Gregory Peck becomes the anti- Draper in The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit. And no Mad Men movie collection would be complete without Sal's favorite, Bye Bye Birdie.

Gift idea: MADMEN fashion

For him: Valet magazine has an excellent guide to finding everything from Ken Cosgrove's Brylcreem and Harry Crane's glasses to Don Draper's suit, hat, and briefcase.

For her: Visit Matters of Style for pointers on tracking down dresses and accessories for the Betty, Joan, or Peggy in your life. And for a more intimate gift, Stockings Addict can help you recreate Betty Draper's memorable lingerie.

Gift idea: MADMEN books

Jesse McLean's Kings of Madison Avenue is a must-read for any Mad Men enthusiast. For those who want to explore the Madison Avenue psychology of the Mad Men era, pick up Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, Sloan Wilson's The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, Rona Jaffe's The Best of Everything, or the book that got Don Draper through the Cuban Missile Crisis: Frank O'Hara's Meditations in an Emergency.

Gift idea: MADMEN décor

If you want to really splurge on someone (or yourself), try decking their halls with some serious Mad Men-style décor. In addition to the Draper Sofa ensemble pictured above, CB2.com carries a Parlour Chair and Acacia Mini Bar that look like they were lifted right from the offices of Sterling Cooper. CasaSugar can help you complete that look with everything from the right drapes and desk lamp to the right wastebasket.

Gift idea: MADMEN gear

For a wide variety of Mad Men-themed gear, including shirts, hats, notebooks, mousepads, and coffee mugs, check out Gold Label Goods' CafePress Store. (Our favorite item: the Sterling Cooper journal, which makes an awesome appointment book or daily planner).

Gift idea: MADMEN barware

Retrofit someone's personal bar with a set of Mad Men-esque martini glasses and cocktail shakers. MartiniArt.com offers a wide range of martini-themed barware, glassware, gifts, and accessories. For an exceptional bartending guide, check out AJ Rathbun's Good Spirits.
