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 parents, as they were when I was growing up and my brothers and sister when we were children. My sister died in a car accident at 18 and my parents are both dead but I would love to go back in time and see them all again.

My Mum and Dad who have sadly passed away so that for one more Christmas we could all be together with my Grandchildren (their Great Grandchildren).

I would love to have poet Pam Ayres, complete with her new book Up In The Attic, under my tree to read to me, chat with me and make me laugh - which she always does.

I'd like to find my late Nan and Grandad under my tree - I have so many questions about their parents that I would hope they could help me with.

Michel Roux junior offering to cook and supply our Christmas Dinner and being very greedy also Boxing day (lots of dietary requests for this day!) - that would be a dream come true.

My late grandmother, I really didn't see enough of her in her later years and I'd give anything to have time to sit and talk to her again,

I would like to find Mary Berry under my Christmas tree as she could do all the cooking for the big day. After all, she is far better at it than I am.

I’d like to find my father under my Christmas tree, he left us when I was three and I have no memories of him, but so many questions I’d like to ask him.

Would like a series of recordings of loved ones who have passed away as I miss hearing their voices or a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Past and Present.

I would love to meet my Mum and George Michael under the Xmas Tree. My Mum just to chat and laugh and hear her voice again and George to hear him sing live again would be the icing on the cake!
