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.

I would like to find Jamie Oliver under my Christmas tree - a Christmas Day with no cooking - Ho Ho Ho!

My dad, I really miss him and he loved Christmas so much that he made us all really excited too!

yoeydavis Mon 09-Nov-20 12:33:17

I'd like to find my Son, Daughter and, especially my Grandson. My Grandson, Greyson, has just had his first birthday so, even though it is his second Christmas he was just a newborn last year. I've never been a huge fan of Christmas; I used to get so stressed about it I could barely sleep in the run up to the big day. Having my first Grandchild has changed all that and I'm, actually, really excited for it this year. Having a lovely day with my closest family with an excited one year old will make me a very happy Nanny.

My great grandaughter, I haven't been able to see her this year and it'd be wonderful to watch her unwrap her presents!

bevwillis Mon 09-Nov-20 12:27:24

All our 6 children with all their families because we haven't been altogether at the same time for so long due this pandemic. It would be so heartwarming.

sezz35sezz35 Mon 09-Nov-20 12:27:21

I would like to find all my family so we could have a good old fashioned Christmas together and forget this awful year!

juliebissett72 Mon 09-Nov-20 12:24:27

I’d like to find peace & happiness for all under my Christmas tree. It’s been a tough year.

zabaglione Mon 09-Nov-20 12:22:35

because they are spread all over the UK & it would be great to have them all at home together this year.

zabaglione Mon 09-Nov-20 12:20:32

All 5 of my grown up kids!

Kaggi60 Mon 09-Nov-20 12:18:42

I would pick Michael Buble because he always always does a Christmas album.

shellywkd Mon 09-Nov-20 12:16:20

Colin Farrell as I have had a crush on him since I was a teenager. I reckon he’d be a great dinner companion and it would really annoy my teenage daughter as well
