Christmas presents ideas 2012

Christmas is fast approaching, and there will soon be an army of crazed shoppers decending on the high-street suffering from the annual epidemic I like to call 'Oh crap, it's Christmas!' syndrome.

There's no cures, only prevention. So prepare yourself for this holiday season by coming up with a list of things to buy your loved ones. And if you come up blank for a few of them? No worries. I've given you a list of gift suggestions below, divided into categories:
  • Sentimental Sally's
  • TV and movie geeks
  • Comic book nerds
  • Photographers
  • Lovers
  • Travellers 
  • Thespians
  • Book nerds
  • Retro lovers
  • Geeks
  • Sport fans and adrenaline junkies
  • Animal lovers
  • Borderline alcoholics
  • Cooks, bakers and BBQ kings
  • Clothes and jewellery
Let me know if you know of any other gifts that would be good in these categories, or if you'd like help to find a present for your loved one.
