Books make the perfect gift - and if you are stuck for ideas then look no further than our Best Books for Christmas feature - there's something for everyone, whether they're into fiction, non-fiction, photography, baking...

We are giving away every book featured on the page to one lucky person*. To enter the prize draw, simply tell us what three things you always get in for Christmas (and that Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without grin) Post on this thread before midday on Wednesday 13 December for a chance to win. You can find more about T&Cs etc on the page itself.

*A previous winner asked whether they might split the prize with a runner-up. If you win and this is your preference that's absolutely fine - you just need to let us know when we get in touch.

A box of clementines,
A jigsaw puzzle, and
A bunch of mistletoe.

Pâté, stilton and twiglets. Then no-one else can touch cheese footballs for my brother & guylian seahorses for my sister.

i always buy

Leg of Lamb can't abide turkey
Books for the youngsters to read (In the hope they become avid readers)
A lovely bottle of Rose Wine

And Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a new book to dive into once all the hustle & bustle of the day is over & I can have some quiet time enjoying a good read with some Rose wine

Another vote here for new books for everyone. Otherwise, mulled wine and mince pies....Delish grin
