Are you Father Christmas, looking for genuine, honest suggestions from us? I posted my letter to you on 1st. December (as every year) and I will also hang a copy on the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve ( as every year) so you can use that as a checklist that you brought the right gifts. And, I promise; this year i won't drink your wee dram and eat your mince pie, only leaving the carrot for Rudolph!

Fantasy gifts (purely selfish):

Biggest possible bottle of passion fruit cleanser from the Body Shop
Texan bars and lots of ‘em!
A tenth share in this week”s Euromillions. Not greedy, me!

In reality, I’ll probably get and love bath stuff, Zubrowka and chocolate.

A nice cosy jumper with sleeves that are long enough for my orang utanesque arms.
A Harry Potter Lego set - Diagon alley if you are feeling extremely flush, the Knight bus for something more modest.
Emma Bridgewater Christmas crockery, particularly a star shaped plate or a Ho Ho Ho mug but I love all of it.
