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.

My parents again, Mum died when I was a teenager (50+ years ago) aged 48, Dad died 13 years ago aged 85. I like to think that they have re-united and are enjoying the years that they lost when Mum died. Hope that all that have responded to this question get what they have asked for xx

I am happy with anything under my tree, it's just nice that someone has thought of me. But I would love to receive a book or a lovely bottle of Black Opium Perfume (which is expensive) but would love someone to get together and purchase this I would be so happy.

I'd like to find the Hairy Bikers, I bet they would make an amazing Christmas Dinner and be wonderful fun too.

Might I wish for Cari to be under my tree with 800 books that I could then share amongst all those other lovely ladies who have written in with their heartbreaking stories of lost loved ones.

I would love to find my Dad - he passed away in 1980, long before his time and as I was so young I would love to have some time with him again (even if only for a day).XX

I would like to find my dad under my Xmas tree as I miss him sorely. Failing that Jamie Oliver to cook the Xmas dinner and give me a few tips!

I would love to find my late Mum under the Christmas tree. Her birthday was Christmas Eve so it's often a bitter sweet time. And I have a December birthday too. Thank you.

Just a camera so that I can record family events.

Last year I got in touch with my best friend from 40 years ago. We had a falling out over something silly and lost touch. She lives in Texas now and has just taken her US citizenship test - as her kids were born there she now thinks of it as home. How wonderful it would be to find her under my Christmas tree. Since being in touch, the 40 years have fallen away and it is just like we were young women again, laughing and joking and planning on saving the world. Just with more wrinkles.

I'd love to find David Walliams under my tree. He really makes me laugh and writes awesome kids books.

daisybeebee Sun 01-Dec-19 06:41:22

My father, he was the host with the most especially at Christmas .It's our 3rd year without him and the time he is most severely missed.

Raapants Sun 01-Dec-19 03:53:52

I would love to find my dad and my brother (greedy I know but I can’t choose between them) under my tree. My brother died aged 22 in 1991 and dad in 2014. There’s so much they’ve missed. We would have the best Christmas, catching up and sharing the love. Perfect!

KJaybaby Sun 01-Dec-19 00:37:27

Gino D'Acampo - He's so funny, good to look at and would certainly make a mean Christmas dinner x
