As you may have noticed, the holiday season is upon us, throwing fear into the heart of shopping procrastinators everywhere. If you need help deciding what to purchase for others, or you're looking for general gifty inspiration for your wish list, we've got you covered. We're joining forces with the arbiters of style and taste over at Refinery29 to bring Racked readers present ideas cherry-picked from Refinery29's new holiday buying blog Gift Central. Every day, we'll choose one item to add to our Wish List; we're kicking things off today with charming calendars from The Wild Unknown.

Every year without fail, we receive one of those "scenic" calendars featuring photographs of national parks or tropical island beaches that look like they should be hanging on the wall in a dentist's office. That's why we're so enamored with The Wild Unknown's "Creatures and Lyrics" calendars, which boast pretty line drawings by artist Kim Krans. The company also offers refreshingly non-smarmy holiday cards.

$15 the pack of 6 cards and envelopes, $30 the calendars, available at The Rise and Fall, 263 South 1st Street (between Havemeyer and Roebling Streets); 718-388-3108.
