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.

All my family as we've all missed each other this year although failing that, if numbers are still restricted, I'll have George Clooney instead!

I'd love to find Keith Lemon under my tree. This year has felt like Groundhog Day so a bit of Christmas Day craziness would be really welcome.

pipdog Mon 09-Nov-20 13:46:57

I would actually like to find no-one under my tree as my husband and I have never had a Christmas that was just the 2 of us. As much as I love having all the family around on Christmas Day it would be lovely to have just the 2 of us and being able to have a quiet day eating and drinking what we like instead of having to consider everyone else's choices.

pegros Mon 09-Nov-20 13:44:05

My grandchildren without a doubt. Missing them so much with the lockdowns.

janeyf Mon 09-Nov-20 13:40:14
