Now, I know we're all looking forward to Australia Day – heaven knows, it's probably the only public holiday where heavy drinking and sun exposure are written into the constitution, but it's also a holiday dented with potential pitfalls around which you must tread carefully. This year, I've seen more stalls filled with cheaply Chinese-made miscellany emblazoned with The Flag than ever before, and it's all too easy to let the Australia Day spirit take you to an ugly place (and I don't mean Perth's annual riverside glassings).

Sure, Kanye West may have abandoned us for the east coast and The Fleet Foxes have already been and gone; but the sun is still out, you live in Australia and therefore – music festival season must go on, as must the often terrifying festival attire.

It's boxing day. You lie, comatose, sipping left over brandy sauce through a straw and moaning. The sun scorches your distended stomach, taunting: "Christmas is for the northern hemisphere! Whatever possessed you to bring days of salty roasted meats and clotted cream to a time of shorts and bikinis?" You roll your eyes upward and shake your fist at the sky, deciding your new year's resolution will involve drinking less – dessert or otherwise, the sun should not be able to converse with you.

I'm the proud owner of both a brother and a sister (younger, more genetically blessed, you know how it is) and I must admit: they're my favourite to buy christmas presents for. I think it's the low pressure - these are people you can spend your childhood lying to and punching just to pass the time, and they have no choice but to continue to love you (or at the very least, tolerate your existence). It's like buying for friends, but lower stakes, which in turn is quite freeing – no stress? you'll probably hit the nail on the head. So, what's the worst that could happen if you buy them a bit of a dud present and both of you are acutely aware as they open it on christmas morning? They say thanks, try and use it once; you say no worries, and leave, guilt-free. Bless us, every one.

Whether it's a new, blossoming romance and you're eager to prove how deep and creative your love is, or it's a tale as old as time where you're just trying to avoid death stares, buying presents for your significant other can prove significantly difficult. Everything else aside, expressing some form of love via gift is pretty complex - and that's essentially what a Christmas gift is. My top tips for making your loved one feel it include keeping your ears to the ground –*listen* as they inevitably drop hints about what they'd like; don't buy them a gift similar to any you've bought them recently (especially if you're in a new relationship, that sort of thing just screams "unimaginative everywhere and I mean *everywhere*"); and NEVER give cash or gift cards. Ever. EVER.
