Take That Simon!

Diana Vickers, of X Factor fame, has received some news which could well be one of the best early Christmas Gifts she's had in years; it appears as though she's quite in demand should Simon Cowell not wish to sign her.

According to recent reports in The Sun, a British newspaper, Gary Barlow of Take That has confirmed that should Simon Cowell not wish to sign up the talented Diana Vickers, he is more than happy to do so. Now, what better Christmas Gift could a girl wish to have?

It also looks as though there is a little festive cheer moving around the set of The X Factor, as Simon Cowell has ordered two of the other judges to kiss and make up. According to recent reports, Simon has insisted that Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh bury their differences - and no doubt swap metaphorical early Christmas Gifts with one another - following a recent on-air argument.

"Simon tried to keep the peace and forced them to kiss and make up," said one insider, in a recent report by the Sun.

So, in the world of Christmas Gifts, what does it really take to kiss and make up? For anyone looking for conciliatory Christmas Gifts for him, one of the best ways to promote a thaw in any frosty relationship could be to treat him to a bottle of Personalised Whisky. Packed full of the highest quality 12-year old Lowland Malt, each bottle of Personalised Whisky also features a high quality label, uniquely adorned with any message of your choice.

However, if the man you're trying to sweeten up isn't a fan of more fiery brews, why not treat them to a Bespoke Blends - Personalised Tea gift? Arguably one of the most appropriate Christmas Gifts available for anyone looking to kiss and make up and created strictly to order, each and every bespoke tea blend is made by a master craftsman that is designed to reflect the recipient's own particular tastes, dislikes, passions and personality; it's a gift that really is all about them. And because presentation is key, each and every bespoke blend tea gift is presented in a luxurious black gift box.

However, for anyone looking for kiss and make-up Christmas Gifts for her, a Personalised Christmas Teddy Bear could be a great choice. Incredibly cuddly, and soft to the touch, each and every Personalised Christmas Teddy Bear features a smart little jumper, personalised with any name of your choice; providing, of course, it does not exceed a total of 15 characters.

Alternatively, when searching for perfection in the world of Christmas Gifts for her, how about opting for the Chalkboard Square Frame? Measuring approximately 18 x 18 x 4.5 cm, each and every frame can accept photographs with dimensions of around 10 x 10 cm. Chalkboard Square Frames have also been designed to feature a blackboard-type finish, making it possible to write all sorts of lovely messages around those treasured memories. And when you're done, each frame can be wiped clean - leaving the lucky recipient free to start again.

But, back in the world of The X Factor, it would appear that all is still not well; after some high hopes, the talented Rachel Hylton has been voted off The X Factor. However, she took her fate with an admirable degree of calm and grace, stating simply that she was "fine", and that "someone had to go".

However, perhaps because of all of these recent extraordinary events, the team behind The X Factor received an early Christmas Gift, beating Strictly Come Dancing in a battle for viewing figures. It would seem that, in spite of the high ratings achieved as a consequence of it being John Sergeant's final hour, it simply wasn't quite enough. Nevertheless, Lord Mandelson, the country's secretary for business, has described John Sergeant as "the people's John Travolta". And maybe, in the world of early Christmas Gifts, there is no better reward than that.
