Anyone know any good sites for Christmas present ideas? Most of my family are stubbornly without much by way of interests, I don't want to just get them all DVD sets. New Scientist do have their No More Socks site, but it is obviously techy based and short on ideas.

Is five shopping weeks to go disgustingly early?

In my family we tend to do lists of suggestions for what we want, when I was a nipper that normally meant hours going through the toys at the back of my Mum's catalogue listing every type of Transformer etc that I wanted, and maybe getting one if I was lucky come Christmas day. Now that I have a job that pays me well enough to give me some disposable income I find it difficult to think about ideas, I have pretty much what I want, and it's only CDs and DVDs I can think of for myself. That's what I get for being an uninteresting person with uninteresting needs.

In a perfect world Christmas shopping would be legally restricted to the two weeks before hand. On top of that decorations would only be allowed to be hung in the week before that.

Also Christmas cards would only be sold in boxes of 37 meaning that you don't need to desperately claw around for a further 13 names upon whom you will foist half-assed cheer regarding a holiday that you would have to think about for a couple of minutes before you could give a reasonable explanation as to why it's happening.

Also there must be some things you would like to possess but can't quite justify the expenditure on. Perhaps a nice Schiele print for the bathroom?
