Not quite finished with your Christmas shopping?

Don't fret. There's still time. However, last-minute shopping is simply no excuse for giving someone an awful gift.

In an effort to help preserve your gift-giving reputation, we've put together some suggestions of what might -- or might not -- be considered a great present.

THE GOOD ........BOXERS ARE

There are plenty of ways to show friends or family that you are thinking about them during the holiday season, and spending a ton of money isn't a requirement.

Has the person expressed an interest in learning or refining a particular hobby? Look into ways to help them learn. Rochester's Community Education program offers a smorgasbord of classes at reasonable fees, including knitting, wood-carving, gardening and even soap-making. Just make sure your friend has both the desire and time to devote before enrolling.

When in doubt, letting the recipient choose his or her own gift is a safe bet. Rather than trying to guess the right size and color (which, believe it or not, is not always the same as yours), spare your friend from having to wait in line at the return counter and purchase a gift certificate.

Can't decide on just one store? Apache Mall offers gift cards that are good not only at the mall in Rochester, but all General Growth Property locations (including malls in St. Cloud, Minn., Mankato, Minn., and Eau Claire, Wis.).

THE BAD ...

We might like to think that there's no such thing as a bad present. A gift from the heart that shows loved ones we're thinking about them can't be bad, right?

Wrong.

As a general rule, try to stay away from anything that focuses on a person's flaws or suggests improvement. Sounds simple enough, but even something as seemingly innocuous as a trial gym membership (when the person has never expressed an interest in exercising) or a self-help book probably won't be well received.

Furthermore, keep holiday gifts G-rated. Edible underwear might seem like a hilarious gift for an old college friend, but the humor will be quickly lost when she unwraps the box in front of her children and in-laws. Also, unless you are close friends with the recipient, don't give alcohol. Wrapping up a bottle of wine for a recovering alcoholic is typically frowned upon.

Finally, despite Jim Dear winning big points with Darling in Lady and the Tramp, animals are not good gifts.

"Owning a pet is a huge responsibility," according to Paws and Claws adoption counselor Tanya Johnson. "There is a lot of prep work involved. Owning a pet should be planned, not a surprise."

What's more, even if the dog or cat seems to like you just fine, that doesn't necessarily mean it will like your friend or your friend's current pets. Giving a gift that runs the risk of maiming your friend's beloved Felix probably isn't a burden you want to bear.

AND THE UGLY ...

Nothing says Merry Christmas like a fuzzy pair of Santa Claus boxer shorts. Just make sure the only person you buy them for is yourself or the person whose unmentionables are washed in the same load of laundry as yours. The same is true for women's under-things; do not give someone a present that you never, ever want to see them wearing.

Along those same lines, while T-shirts with clever slogans might be popular among certain crowds, try to resist the urge to buy your coworker a shirt that says "I'm not short, I'm fun-sized!" Unless, of course, you enjoy the taste of salt slipped into your morning coffee.

Finally, if you've been given a gift that you deemed too hideous for words, do not pawn it off on someone else. If you didn't appreciate the creepy hand statue that doubles as a remote control holder, chances are no one you associate with will, either. BOXERS, BOXER SHORTS, FUNNY NOVELTY BOXER SHORTS for Christmas, Valentine's day, Father's Day, St. Patrick's day. NO better holiday gift than funny boxer shorts...BOXERS, not Boxer Briefs.

I was kicking boxes left and right when suddenly, a swift side kick launched a white wad from the opening of my sweat pants across the fitness room. I stopped, paralyzed by confusion. When I caught my breath, I zigzagged through a obstacle course of fan kicks to retrieve the object I had just catapulted.

Underwear. It was a pair of underwear that had presumably wedged its way into my pant leg during the wash, and hid out in there, clinging to the side, while I got dressed and did the workout warm-up.

The best part: These sneaky little guys were not mine, but rather the undergarments of one of my roommates, a guy.

Now, a normal pair of boxers, with their bulk, would have struggled to pull off such a magic act. But these were boxer briefs. Or half boxer briefs, with all of their wear holes.

No lie -- I haven't done kickboxing since.

Had the underwear missile been a less horrifying pair, maybe I would have earned my way up to front-and-center group-fitness status. Maybe I would be an instructor.

I used to tease the men in my life about their ratty boxer shorts, which had enough holes in the crotch to look like a salad colander. Elastic stretched out or tearing off. It seemed off-balance, with how much money I spent at Victoria's Secret. I feared I attracted men with unspeakably weird habits.

Then I met Eric Schwers, and I learned that this is a common problem with cheap men's underwear. Phew. The big-scale underwear companies seem to be making boxers and briefs of lower and lower quality, he says, which explains the growing popularity of men's fashion underwear.

Schwers, of Boulder, owns the men's fashion underwear and swimwear line Baskit. With the relocation of Baskit from Canada to Boulder, this city may soon become the underwear capital of the nation, Schwer's publicity folks say.

Before underwear, Schwer worked for seven years in homeland security on government classified assignments in the international drug trade, human slave trafficking and airline security. He has lived in five countries, worked with the British government and is a specialist in criminal behavior.

But he got sick of that, so he now designs underwear.

Schwer upgraded the Baskit line, now featuring 180-gram organic cotton, a two-ply waistband and a "better formed pouch." I don't want to talk about the "pouch" thing anymore, but apparently guys like it. Most importantly, the higher quality cotton (most men's underwear is made with 100-gram cotton) means it won't dissolve in the wash. So if a pair happens to sneak into your pant leg and make an surprise public appearance, you might not also want to dissolve.

Not to mention, you can get cute pinup girl pictures printed on the underwear. And pinup girls would be a great conversation starter.
