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 Prince Charles under my tree as I have a million questions I would like to ask him. I bet he has mixed feelings about his future.

I would love to have Bear Grylls under my tree, so he can teach loads of survival skills that as a scout leader I can then teach the scouts skills for life.

I'd like to find my entire family - dead and alive - imagine the catch-ups and stories!

lornajk Mon 09-Nov-20 15:45:28

I'd like to find my son under the tree, as it's highly unlikely with what's going on that I'm going to get to see him this Christmas :-)

I would love to find my Mum under my tree as I haven't seen her in person in over a year!

pluckypuddin Mon 09-Nov-20 15:41:51

I would love to find my husband's family under the tree. They are based in the US and we've never had a complete family Christmas with his family and mine. After how this year has been, it would be incredible to have us all together. I also know it would be something my husband would never forget and I would love to give that to him!

This is a bit like groundhog day - it's a year old ladies, been and gone.

Would also like the chance to talk to my late mother, to try to find out exactly what I did (or didn't do) to find out why she decided I was persona non grata, after running myself ragged for her for so long.sad

I would love to see my dear Dad. He used to meet me from school every Friday and we would go to the cinema.

phoenix Mon 09-Nov-20 15:23:59

Leonardo da Vinci.

He came up with ideas for helicopters, multi story living and loads of other stuff, well before his time. Would be interesting to see what he could do in modern times.

Sir David Attenborough, just for a day so I could hear all about his adventures. Such an inspiration and interesting man.

My son back from Uni. As we don't know for definite whether we are all going into Tier 3 when lockdown officially ends I don't know if he will be able to come home for Christmas & I miss him so much as he is over 160 miles away.
