Best reads for Christmas - win £600 of books

My circumstances are such that I don't really have anyone to give a present to, where I will witness the unwrapping and the much hoped for pleasure. This gives me full reign to fantasise that I will win that damned lottery and then I will be able to give stuff that will be valued to people who so badly need it just for the dignity of having the essentials - young, elderly, refugee - a large list. It needs to be a hugely massively lottery win and after buying myself a few toys, the best financial adviser will advise me how to make the money grow so this lovely day wouldn't just have to be for one day in one year. It could change lives - use money to destroy poverty and loneliness and make a chain reaction. I'd be able to afford a hitman to remove Donald Trump from the planet and another to obliterate "austerity". It would be a brilliant Christmas

My best gift this year will be to give a friend the Hufflepuff items that she is longing for.

I'm surprising daughters with tickets for Take That

I have bought Becoming by Michelle Obama for my eldest daughter and I think she's going to love it.
For each of my grandchildren who can read - as well as a fun toy, I have bought the book '101 small ways to change the world'. We get together as a family every weekend and I am hoping that there will be much discussion around this book as the year progresses, what they have each tried to do to make the world a better place.

My 2 year old granddaughter loves the toy kitchen at playgroup. I have bought her one for Christmas, which I know, she will have fun with.

A TOP SECRET something that's always been wished for by a very special someone who might be reading this page.

My aunt is an amazing woman and is kindly hosting Christmas dinner for us this year. She works for the NHS as a nurse in A&E and has often wondered just how much walking she does on a typical shift. As she is also enthusiastic about staying fit and healthy I have got her a Misfit Shine 2 fitness tracker - an ebay bargain! This tracker is ideal as it can be pinned on or just put in a pocket (as well as worn as a watch) Perfect for a nurse!

I am so looking forward to having all my family coming. It is not actually AT Christmas but near enough. I am giving extra little surprise presents which I am sure they will all enjoy. It will just be so lovely to all be together for the first time in many years.

It will be being with my family as that's most important

I'm looking forward to giving by husband a 3D printer so he can have a go at printing some 3D buses to paint!

My father has dementia and every day is a struggle for him and mum. He's never really been big on Christmas gifts but I'm trying to find a dark Toblerone for him. Of all the gifts he gets, the dark Toblerone is always his favourite and he squirrels it away and has a little tiny bit every couple of days.

I am looking forward to getting my sons favourite picture reframed after it was damaged with mould/damp after his flat was flooded in storm Desmond. His face will be my best present as he doesn't think I will get it done in time.

I can’t afford Christmas this year. So I will share time and memories with my daughters. If I win we will enjoy reading and sharing these books

Besides Barbie my gd loves books and is starting to be able to read herself and I’m getting her some Julie Donaldson she loves it used to be Enid blyton for me

I am looking forward to seeing my grandchildren all together enjoying each other's company and ours of course

some sourdough baking goodies

I’m giving my son some much needed pj’s. They have a very apt logo on them!

My lovely little mom has dementia now and I've spent this year looking into our family trees for and am busy typing up what I've found and want to present this to my mom in a nice album for Christmas. I did find some old photos to go with this and I am really hoping she finds this as intriguing and thoughtful as I did when doing this! Happy Christmas to my lovely little mom! xx

I have made homemade presents this year with fruit from my allotment. I hope my family and friends will enjoy my redcurrant gin and berry jams.

Am looking forward to giving my son a GPS for his bicycle he is in training for his first triathalon in July

I am most looking forward to giving my first (and likely only) grandchild her present. It's such a wonderful first for me, the present itself isn't the important thing, but just having this darling 5 month old on my lap (she'll probably play with the wrapping anyway!)

I am looking forward to spending a day with my daughter xx We are having box sets, chocolate, curtains drawn, xmas lockdown! So she says xx

A photo of all the Grandchildren to my parents

Time to spend with my family. We have two little ones who are celebrating their first xmas this year and on xmas day will be joined by another first xmas baby so happy times will be had by all.

I am most looking forward to giving my mum her gift, she has loved a beautiful pair of suede gloves for a long time now but never treats herself to anything as she much prefers to buy for others. I can't wait to see her face when she opens them!
