This month is your chance to give family and friends a little nudge in the direction of Christmas gifts. There are always little (and large) things I would like but don't buy for some reason or perhaps can't justify.

In my home during the run up to Christmas one will often find a gardening catalogue open at a certain page, or an article promoting something of interest. This also works in the boating department as how often do you see that mirror with led lights on a telescopic handle or long handled grabbers and think 'next time I'll get one of those'?
