The 12 Days of Christmas carol harks to what is today the world's most widely observed Christmas ritual - giving and receiving gifts. We recommend you look at our gift guide, with the idea for each of the 12 days of Christmas.

Calendars

Nothing is as precious as time. In case someone forgets that, give them a well-designed 2008 calendar to jog their memories.

Compilation CD

Make a  mixed recording of Christmas carols sung by famous music artists. It can be used as both a gift and a means to entertain family and friends. You could play a guessing game in which the person who correctly identifies the most singers wins the tape.

Recipe books

A recipe book from a different culture provides a chance to change up a Christmas dinner. Think about sitting down to a table of Mexican wedding cookies, Norwegian lefse, Chilean salmon, cream cheese lart and Chinese dishes. If you can't find the right one in time, search online, print the page and bind them into a book yourself. Nothing says, "I really care!" more than making an effort.
