It's that time of year again...

If you are stuck for gift ideas for family/friends, look no further than our round-up of the best books for Christmas. From psychological thrillers to women's fiction, autobiographies to cookbooks (and everything in between), there really is something for everyone.

And, as ever, we are giving one lucky person the chance to win everything featured on the page...worth over £800. All you have to do is tell us, on this thread, who you'd most like to find under your tree this Christmas (and why).

We will be drawing a winner at random at midday on Monday 16 December. Terms and conditions apply - more details on the page.

As this thread has reached the 1,000 post limit we've started a new one for you to enter on which you can find here.

I'd love to find Baby Jesus under the tree (well, it is Christmas after all!) tchwink

There's nothing like snuggling up with a newborn baby – and it's been many a year since I've had the chance to do it. You can't beat the smell and the love – and I could really do with a hug blush. Happy Christmas everyone! tchsmile
