Christmas is a time for giving, for loving, and for being with your nearest and dearest. Oh, and for watching movies, obviously - let's face it, there ain't much else to do on the 25th!

Here then, are a few suggestions. If you're looking for a festive flick to enjoy with your family this holiday season, we'd strongly recommend any of the following - grab your Christmas Snug Rug, fire up the Popcorn Maker, and let's take a tour of the best Christmas movies EVER!

Oh, and since it's not a Christmas film unless you're sobbing uncontrollably, we'll be highlighting a Tearjerker Moment from each of our 5 picks. Keep some tissues nearby, m'kay?

1. The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)

The definitive movie version of Charles Dickens's enduring festive fable. We're pretty sure that Mr Dickens was picturing Bob Cratchit as a fuzzy green frog from the moment he picked up his quill.

Tearjerker Moment: Somewhere in the middle of the film, Belle (Scrooge's former girlfriend) sings a very sad song called 'When Love is Gone' before cutting off their engagement. This sequence is part of the 'Ghost of Christmas Past' flashback, and at the end of the song, the camera pans back to Old!Scrooge, mouthing the words along with his old flame and looking positively distraught.

2. Frozen (2013)

The newest film on our list needs no introduction: you've seen the movie, heard the songs, and if you've a young daughter, run yourself ragged looking for Elsa and Anna dolls. Still, Christmas gives us a good excuse to watch it again, right?

Tearjerker Moment: Hey, welcome to another jolly adventure from Walt Disney Studios! Here's Princess Elsa, here's Princess Anna, and here are their parents dying tragically at sea!

You know, for kids!

3. Die Hard (1988)

Held by many to be The Greatest Christmas Movie of All Time, Die Hard's against-the-odds action may seem like an odd choice for your post-turkey lull, but if the sight of Hans Gruber executing Joseph Takagi doesn't fill you with festive cheer then frankly we suspect you're dead inside.

Tearjerker Moment: "He had a ray gun, looked real enough...they can teach you everything about bein' a cop except how to live with a mistake."

Arthur Christmas (2011)

James McAvoy and Bill Nighy set out to deliver a present to the child that Hugh Laurie and Jim Broadbent forgot about. Oh, and all of those people we just named are Santa, kind of. Why are you still reading this? Go and watch it!

Tearjerker Moment: Ambitious, tech-savvy Hugh Laurie finally realises that his little brother, James McAvoy, would make a better Santa than him. "I'll be the candle, eh?"

5. It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Nothing says 'festive classic' like watching a man get driven to the brink of suicide. Thrill as George Bailey gives up on his dreams to remain in the dead-end hole that is Bedford Falls! Delight as his wedding day is ruined by a bank run that threatens to make him and his new bride completely destitute! Feel the spirit of the season rush through your veins as George, now a fugitive from the law, comes to the tragic realisation that he's "worth more dead than alive"!

Tearjerker Moment: Of course, George Bailey's suicide attempt is ultimately thwarted, and he returns home to face the music. If you weren't already bawling into your mince pies by this point, the big ending - where the whole town shows up and donates enough money to save George and his business - will surely break what's left of your resolve. Sniff.

Thank goodness for mugs, eh? Not only do they give us a practical way to drink hot beverages, they also make excellent gifts for people who are otherwise impossible to buy for.

You see, regardless of hobbies, interests, upbringing, and any other factors you'd care to name, just about everybody can appreciate a good mug. Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate are exceedingly widespread pleasures, and even if you're shopping for some kind of freak who doesn't like any of those drinks...well, mugs can hold other things too. Soup, for example. Or alcohol.

Naturally, the humble mug's status as a universally appropriate gift choice has spawned millions of different varieties. There really is a novelty mug for everyone nowadays, and with Christmas just around the corner, a shrewdly-chosen mug could be just what you need to complete your seasonal shopping. Here are a few suggestions from Gadget Inspector's own collection...

Perfect for: Comic book fans (Marvel), movie buffs, friends with anger management issues.

Perfect for: Overworked colleagues, highly-strung relatives, fire wardens.

Perfect for: Star Wars geeks, your dad, other people's dads.

Perfect for: avid golfers, sports fans, people who might enjoy running their fingers over that tactile dimpled surface.

Perfect for: Comic book fans (DC), vigilantes, bat fetishists.

Perfect for: Hypochondriacs.

Tesco apparently didn't realise that one's appreciation for superhero-themed clocks isn't necessarily dictated by one's gender. The offending sign has now been removed, but let's face it - the 'Fun gifts for boys' banner is merely the tip of a much larger iceberg.

Now, we're a gadget website, and a lot of our products are prone to being described as "boys' toys". We do our best, however, to stay away from this sort of thing - you don't need a Y chromosome to enjoy flying a quadcopter or building your very own Tetris Light. Besides, it's hardly in our best interest to nudge half of our potential customers out of the picture!

With that in mind, here are 5 great gift ideas for the girls in your life:

This awesome quadcopter does just about everything - it flies, it shoots water, it fires missiles, and it even performs 360-degree flips!

Some women own smartphones, we're told, and so this pen - which doubles as a smartphone charge and triples as a touchscreen stylus - could well come in handy.

This rad little speaker is designed for use with smartphones, laptops, and the like. Plug in your audio device, adjust the bass/treble knobs to your liking, and hit the heavy metal!

We love these DIY-themed bar tools - it's just a shame that they come with a Yorkie-style 'No Girls Allowed' sticker on the case.

Still, we're the ones selling the product, and we know that women like the odd drink as much as men do. If you want to buy these things, go right ahead - we're not going to check your damn gender.

Oh, incidentally, we also have a wide range of superhero stuff.

Is your favourite photographer a bit of a caffeine addict? Or perhaps they're more of a tea drinker? Either way, they're sure to appreciate this mug, which looks exactly like a camera lens!

Bonus Feature: The mug comes with a 'lens cap' that can either be used as a coaster or (see image above) as a handy biscuit holder!

If your photographer friend still holds a candle for proper, physical photographs, this nifty box will make the perfect place to store those snaps. The sturdy 'Photobox' tin ensures that those cherished photos of magic moments don't get damaged!

Bonus Feature: No photos to store? No problem - the Photobox can also be used as a biscuit tin!

The Micro Drone was one of our best-sellers anyway, but the new  version - with an attachable camera - could well be the coolest product on our whole site! If your camera-toting pal wants to get some aerial shots, this could be the way to go; just make sure you order it with the camera!

Bonus Feature: The camera can take videos as well as still photographs!

These smaller versions of the Camera Lens Mug (see above) allow you to bring a little bit of photomania into your big nights out! Each glass holds 50ml, i.e. a double!

Bonus Feature: These cute little lens cups aren't just for alcohol. They're also ideal for shots of espresso!

Another present that's perfect for people who still like physical photographs. This clock has photo frames instead of numbers, which means that your pal can choose 12 of his/her favourite pictures and use them to decorate the face of the clock!

Bonus Feature: Also available in black!
