Do you remember getting a Ronco Buttoneer for Christmas? Were you thrilled or disappointed? Had you hoped for something different - like a Charlie perfume gift pack?

Ricochet Films are making a programme about popular Christmas gifts since the 1960s and would like to hear from people who have strong memories of giving or receiving presents that were - or were definitely not - appreciated. Maybe these presents began an all consuming collection or are lying lonely at the bottom of a cupboard. If you have any stories to tell about Christmas Presents please call Ricochet Films on 0171 251 6966.

We look forward to hearing from your readers, or indeed any of your staff who might have a story to tell.
