A festival of lights. And by lights, I mean glowing television sets.

Hannukkah starts at sundown on December 15 this year (I just looked it up on the Internet), and to prevent you from scrambling in an effort to buy a gift for your favorite Jew, I've come up with a lovely list of television-related items available for purchase.

That is, of course, after you bought your TiFaux shirt.  Right?  Anyone?  Anyone? 

Lost

The Lost store has all sorts of shit, including action figures (Locke, Jack, Kate, Hurley and a presumably bullethole-free Shannon), t-shirts, trading cards and DVDs, but I think the best option is the Dharma Initiative notebooks ($16).  Use it to obsessively list numbers, write in Korean, or write your own fanfic sequel to Bad Twin.

For all you heterosexual Losties, though, maybe you'll want either the mens' "Get Lost with Kate" shirt or the ladies' "Get Lost with Sawyer" shirt.  They'll each set you back $25.

On the flip side, there's also an "Everything Happens For a Reason" shirt with a Lost logo on the back.  This phrase happens to be my least favorite phrase in the English language.  For real.  I'd seriously rather just have a shirt that said "Pagan."

The Office

Over at NBC, merchandise for The Office is decidedly Dwight-centric. There's the frightening "Information is Power" t-shirt that is bound to make your loved one ask "Where the hell am I going to wear this?" 

If you want frivolous novelties, then maybe the Dwight bobblehead?  Good for four to six minutes of solid fun!  Fifteen smackers.

There are also Dunder Mifflin tees ($22) and The Office ornaments ($10) that would look handsome on any Hannukah bush.

Etc. Etc. 

• Nothing says "I'm conflicted about it too" more than a brand new Studio 60 t-shirt!
• Everyone's favorite gay Greek (besides David Sedaris), Project Runway Season 2's Nick Verreos, designed a cute apron for Top Chef.
• Know someone who still watches Queer Eye?  Well there's nothing gayer than a 2(x)ist pair of boxer briefs, let me tell you, and the Queer Eye store is hocking them.
