Welcome to the first Mamamia Christmas Gift Guide, we’ll be bringing you more gift guides before Christmas so stay tuned.  Today we are republishing Booktopia’s Gift Guide for Those in a Hurry (with their full permission of course), because Booktopia’s Book Guru John Purcell is very, very funny.

Booktopia has also offered Mamamia readers FREE SHIPPING for a short time only.

To receive free shipping on any order all you need to do is type the word: Mamamia in the promotion code field when you checkout and your order will be shipped  for free.*

*Codes are entered with your payment options at the end of the checkout process, make sure you click the word “Apply” next to the field to apply the discount. Free Shipping code expires midnight 07/12/10.

Click on the links underneath the gallery to go straight to Booktopia’s site to buy the books.

To order your Booktopia gifts for Christmas, keep these dates in mind:

December 1st – Get your orders in to be sure of delivery in time for Christmas.

December 13th – Cut off day for orders of items that are clearly marked on the site as “in-stock”
