Brilliant Christmas Ideas

Christmas is trouser-endangeringly close now, and that means two things;

1) The nation's richest celebrities try to convince us that they spend their evenings pushing trolleys around supermarkets, doing their shopping with us plebs (we're still struggling to imagine Emma Bunton hanging around the 'Reduced' shelf, waiting for a discount Scotch Egg in a bag) (Kerry Katona, definitely. But not Bunton), and

2) You have 23 days left to buy your Christmas presents.

Whilst there's not much we can do about the first one, you'll be glad to hear we can help you with the second one. If the thought of dreaming up perfect presents for every friend and relative fills you with feelings of dread, read on. Because we've done the hard work for you...

Take a look at the RunForYourLives.co.uk Gift Guides. We've searched through our vast warehouse of amazing products and picked out the very best gift ideas for you this Christmas. Whether you need a gift for your girlfriend, a gift for your boyfriend, the perfect present for mum or even something for the Secret Santa at work, we've found some brilliant items for you.

What kind of brilliant items? Well, allow us to elaborate...

Girlfriend gifts - Presents for your missus, or indeed any girl who appreciates cool things and experiences. Check out the Miss Army Kit (right), a session in a recording studio, an electric guitar or even the classic Mr Frosty.



Boyfriend gifts - Fantastic gadgets that will impress and amaze any man, from the NAMCO Classics Plug-and-play game (right) to the genius Wifi Digital Photo Frame (which lets you send your pictures into the frame via EMAIL, for heaven's sake) to the very cool Italian Job poster (the original, not that remake nonsense).


Mum gifts - The perfect present for your ma, with everything from
flowers to days out. If you want to show her you appreciate all those hot dinners and clean socks, why not treat her to the amazing Sun Jar (right), some monkey-picked tea, a bottle of wine or even a day at a spa or a night at the theatre?

Secret Santa gifts - We used to be hopeless at picking these, so we decided to do some full-on research this year and share the results with you. So if you're lumbered with buying for a colleague, we've found some perfect ideas for any person in any price-range, from the funky USB Plasma Ball to the inspired Salvador Dali Clock to the barking Desktop Whack-a-mole.


We're adding to the guides all the time, so if you find yourself stuck for ideas then try the Gift Guides. Because Christmas Shopping doesn't have to be all about frantic hunts for parking spaces and getting cross with crowds.

And bags of presents splitting open on the High Street.

And people trying to give you flyers when you've obviously got your hands full.

And bad carol-singers blocking your way.

And empty shelves.

And long queues.

And hearing 'Last Christmas' eight times in one trip.

Maybe nine times.

Man alive, we hate that song.
