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.

A nativity scene, to remind us what all the fuss is really about, a new life!

I would love to find my daughter (she is in Cape Town), under the tree. She loves books as much as I do, so we'd have a lovely time together with this prize.

My grandaughter because I won't be able to spend Christmas with her this year as my daughter will be working, I will miss her so much.

I would like Charles Dickens as he epitomises Christmas -as a literary magnificent and unique activist highlighting social inequality. He would be great to talk with and maybe he will tell a story or two of course it will be snowing outside and we will sit in front of a fire ;)

I would love to find Gruber, a Giant Schnauzer, under my tree. I thought I was buying him, but it turned out, that I was in a queue of over fifty people. I was never told about the other interested parties. When I found out Gruber had been rehomed, I was miserable for days, as I, actually, thought he was mine. Consolation is, that it sounds, as though he has landed on his paws and has a great, loving home.

I'd like a microwave, mine won't heat anymore and I spent a fortune today on others lol!

Gary Rhodes - I could thank him for teaching me how to chop up an onion!

Charles Dickens because he was the best story teller of all time.

I would love to find Hugh Jackman under my Christmas tree, just because no particular reason

Romsnowden Sat 30-Nov-19 10:12:55

My nan and grandad who both passed away this year. It’ll be the first Christmas without them. I miss them dearly x

I'd love to find Channing Tatum under my Christmas tree because we (or at least I) will need some entertainment after dinner!

sallyc06 Sat 30-Nov-19 11:23:01

I would love to see my hubby who is always there for me and my best friend, father, brother everything all rolled into one!

Jacks10 Sat 30-Nov-19 12:03:42

I would love to see all my much loved pets from the past who gave me such unconditional love! Pasha and Wally my Afghans, Jason my golden lab, Mutley and Jeff adopted in Botswana, Ziggy, William, my cats Sugar, Spice, Tazz, and many more. Loved them all to bits - they would be the best present under the Christmas Tree but think pandemonium would ensue!

Audrie57 Sat 30-Nov-19 12:14:15

My sister from Australia, that would be my best present ever. So far away, I miss her so much more since my dear Dad passed away

kwatkins12 Sat 30-Nov-19 13:19:14

My parents as they have moved so won't see them this Christmas

annemac101 Sat 30-Nov-19 14:08:54

I would like a dvd with all my previous Christmas days from when I was a child on it. To see my mum,dad,Gran and rest of family who are gone would be amazing. To relive the days when my children were young on Christmas Day would be amazing too. Oh if only.......

peteeogg Sat 30-Nov-19 15:01:14

I would like a Sat Nav to send to Chris Rea. He has been driving home for Christmas since 1986 and still hasn't got there ! Poor wee soul.

Suedenim Sat 30-Nov-19 16:19:31

I would like to find my childhood self there so that I could relive all those amazing family Christmases past!

50socks Sat 30-Nov-19 16:26:18

My Dad, it would be great to tell him all we have achieved and done since he passed away

Nandalot Sat 30-Nov-19 16:40:15

My father who died when I was five. I think I was so traumatised that I have no memory of him. It would be lovely to meet him.

Shalene777 Sat 30-Nov-19 19:31:31

I would love to find all my family gathered around the tree, unfortunately I can't be greedy and expect them all to be with me as everyone has there own families now. I do get lots of visits though through out the day.
