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.

My best friend, Marie, who passed away three years ago just before Christmas. It just isn't the same without her, she was able to light up a room and had time for everyone.

My Mum - who passed away more than 30 years ago - she would have made a wonderful grandmother/great-grandmother - so sad they'll never know her.

Same as me chris2468 -You never get over the loss of a mother - do you ? Even more so - when they are taken so young.

I would love to see under my Christmas tree a promise that had to be kept, from everybody in the world that they would respect each others religion, race and age.

I would love to have my gran under the tree - she died when my daughter was tiny and I would love her to meet her now - the wonderful woman she has grown up to be with two amazing boys! I'm sure she's my guardian angel!

I would love to find my sister who sadly died over a year ago because she loved her books and I would gladly share these books with her.

I would like to see under my tree on Christmas morning a trio of wise men bringing gifts. Robbie Williams to serenade us throughout the day with his Christmas songs, Michael MacIntyre to make us laugh and James Martin to cook us all a lovely Christmas lunch.

The Giver of Stars, Jojo Moyes. I love her books in particular Me Before You which was such a lovely storyline. Expect great things from this new book.
