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 lovely big joint of beef - the family don’t like turkey
Condensed milk - I always make tablet at Christmas.
Dates for the old boy, no one else likes them!

Cranberries - for an orange and cranberry pudding eaten on Christmas Eve - yum

Chestnuts - memories of my dad roasting them on the fire, then peeling, salting and buttering them for us

Sprouts - finished in hot butter until crispy and browned

(I really had no idea my Christmas was so dependent on butter!)

A real Christmas tree chosen from a local forestry farm.

Selection boxes for everyone (I forgot one year and almost had a riot on my hands! grin)

The double issue of the Radio Times. If it still has its cover on by 25th Dec, it's doing well!
