                Experience a licence to thrill with 007-style Xmas gifts
            
                It's hard to really imagine it but James Bond and Santa Clause have a lot more in common than you probably think – both of them live very secret lives, both of them like to travel in fast transport, and neither of them could do their job properly if it wasn't for the toys. Well, if Santa Clause has a penchant for Martinis, shaken not stirred, then there may also be a few other Xmas gifts that Mrs Clause could invest in to give the big man a day he'll never forget.

We all associate James Bond with his love of fast cars, and he's certainly a man of good taste; but for anyone who isn't lucky enough to get such exclusive company cars, then why not treat your loved one to an action packed day out of driving the car of their dreams? Whether they have a fancy for Ferraris or a love of Lamborghini's, these exciting Xmas Gifts will really have their hearts racing. Mo James Bond film would be complete without a decent car chase and with a Ferrari V's Porsche experience day, you could join in the fun too – just remember to have those Martinis after you've been for a drive though. You only live twice, says Ian Fleming, but for the ultimate James Bond fan who is all too aware of their ordinary life, why not help them with their getaway plan and treat them to a helicopter ride or a power boat adventure? Just make sure they come back again afterwards.

You don't have to work for MI6 to get your hands on some truly inspired gadgets, but unless you have your own license to kill, it's probably best to stick to something a little less dangerous. James Bond may have a watch that can save his life or explosives hidden in a pen, but we bet he doesn't have his own 'Cork Screw Key Ring' or his very own 'Blue Hangout Hammock' – these Xmas gifts are ideal for anyone who might find themselves washed up on a tropical island waiting for their very own Honey Rider to exit the ocean. It might not be lethal weapon but you could certainly treat your loved one to their very own engraved Pen holder and Pen – just add your own personal message to these beautiful Xmas gifts and they'll be the envy of everyone. 

As a world class spy, it's vital that James Bond can retain his sense of secrecy and adopts a number of disguises – for some truly inspired Xmas gifts; why not invest in a hymn book design I-pod case? These gifts are a great starting ground for any spy in the making, but if you know someone who might really appreciate being thrown into the spy lifestyle, then he ultimate in Xmas gifts is surely the 'Spy Academy Experience Day Gift Set'. With a three hour stay at spy HQ, they will get a crash course in spy gadgets and weapons, and be tested with an extremely nerve wrecking bomb-deactivating challenge.

Famed for his snappy dress sense and immaculate style, no James Bond fan would be complete without the ultimate in clothing accessories and for those smarter occasions such as a night out to the Casino Royale, why not treat the man in your life to a pair or engraved silver cufflinks? These Xmas gifts can combine a touch of elegance and style to even the most hardened of spies and make wonderful Xmas gifts that can be treasured forever. With all of that gambling he'll be doing, you could also invest in a matching, engraved silver plated money clip; a perfect accompaniment for any gentleman who likes to look the part. To complete the casino effect, treat him to a stocking filler that will keep him busy for hours – the 'Complete Poker Night Gift Box' includes everything you need from cards to poker chips and even a set of invitations. 

We all know that Mr Bond has a reputation for being a ladies' man, perhaps it's something to do with that suave and sophisticated style of his; and if you happen to know someone who has a way with the ladies, or perhaps needs a little help when it comes to finding his Miss MoneyPenny, then why not treat him with some Playboy Xmas gifts? The 'Share in Playboy' Gift Box will take him one step closer to that Hugh Hefner lifestyle; but if you want to remind your Mr Bond that he is well and truly spoken for, then you could always invest in some 'His and Hers' pillow cases just to be on the safe side.
