So Christmas is coming and you are scouring the internet trying to find the very best that it has to offer before settling on some perfume and makup for your missus and a novelty sex toy/drinking game for your mate.

But instead you ended up here. Foolish perhaps but relax, WayneTron is providing a guide to the very best Arsenal gear, PS3 games, and cool stuff for your mates and partners, and random cheap bollocks to purchase for your undeserving distant family members.

Something for the relative that always gives you £20 no matter your age or personal circumstances to consider. Nothing says “I have no idea what your likes and dislikes are - or indeed, anything about you” than cold hard cash. A little thought, please.

FOOTBALL

For the discerning Gooner gentleman you can’t go wrong with a Saville Rougue 100% cashmere scarf. Saw these in a competition on Arseblog and promptly snaffled one. They are beautiful, understated, warm, soft, and posh. Also available in other team colours.

MUSIC

For the muso this christmas don’t bother with CD’s - in a few years time the format will be dead anyway. Instead, hook them up with an iTunes voucher available in most gift stores and supermarkets. They come in various denominations, check them out HERE

Now unfortunately you can’t dictate what they purchase - but some of my recommendations for music you need to own are:

  • Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip
    Angles
  • The Script
    The Script
  • Kings of Leon
    Only by the Night
  • The Killers
    Day and Age
  • Bloc Party
    Intimacy

    • These are some of the best albums released this year - using suggested gift card for Britney Spears evil is a crime against nature punishable ONLY by the ripping off of said sinners ears as they obviously aren’t using them properly.

    PS3

    Several high quality titles have been released this year - so in many ways you are spoiled for choice. The problem however, is movie tie ins, or other such shit that is clogging up the charts, pushing the best games down beyond the eye level of the lazy parent unwilling to do research. My recommendations for EVERY PS3 owner to purchase are:

  • Valkyria Chronicals - For the strategy and RPG fan - this years undiscovered gem

  • Fallout 3 - For the FPS and RPG fan - blockbuster release that doesn’t disappoint
  • Little Big Planet - For the family, platformer fans - uniqely caters for those with the spark of creativity
  • Prince of Persia - For platforming fans - the platformer of the year bar none, a stunning return to form
  • Fifa 09 - For the football fan - Completely dominates PES this year graphically and in terms of gameplay

    • With these games in your collection you will be occupied for the majority of Q1 2009. Which will lead you nicely up to the release of Square Enix’s new final fantasy…

    THE MRS, THE MATES, THE FAMILY

    If, like me, you have been with your partner for a substantial period of time and as such might possibly in a tiny way maybe be running out of ideas, then there is a Godsend of a website just for people like me you.

    Treat Her.com

    Offers a vast range of brilliant gift ideas for women, and will no doubt be doing a fine bit of business this Christmas.

    For your mates, I recommend two superb resources for buying random, but completely cool, and eminently useful tat

    Firebox and IwantOneOfThose

    A flick through these websites will give you an avalanche of ideas for said chums.

    Now for the family, or for the boring, or the living dead, you really can’t go wrong with either boots or Marks and Spencers - they supply gifts so bland and multifunctional you could give one to a complete stranger and they’d think you put some thought in to it.

    Check out the boots Christmas selection, and the M&S one

    So there you have it. Happy shopping!
