Being the greedy geeks we are, we can't help but covet the odd goodie on occasion.
And, as it's the time of year for giving and receiving and such, we thought it might be an idea to make note of all the things we'll be wishing are under our tree come Christmas morn… you know, just in case the big man's paying attention.
Go on Santa, we've been ever such good girls this year…

MOST WANTED DVDThe Dark Knight Trilogy (£32.99) / Marvel's The Avengers 6-Movie Collection (£30)
2012 gave us loads of brilliant cinematic experiences, but we simply couldn't choose between our top two - The Dark Knight Rises and Avengers Assemble. So, what better box sets to find in our stockings come Christmas day than these two (and yes, we want both)? Between them, they total… well, hours of superhero-tastic action, which should keep us going until New Year's Eve.
MOST WANTED CLOBBER
Wonder Woman Converse (£50)
You could bind us with the Lasso of Truth and we would still tell you these DC Comics Converse are amazing! Wonder Woman conquers all with comic strip style graphics on canvas combined with classic All Star details.

MOST WANTED COMIC
Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death of Spider-Man Omnibus (£38.63)
For more than ten years, Eisner Award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis has spun the tale of young Peter Parker. Under his pen, the neophyte Spider-Man blossomed from an awkward and gangly schoolboy into a tried-and-true hero, an inspiration to a world of ultimate wonder. But all stories must come to an end. And as shadows gather, villains plot and heroes clash, Peter's final story will unfold. It's the death of Spider-Man and the ending will shock you. Definitely one for the book shelf.

MOST WANTED BOOK
Ecko Rising by Danie Ware (£5.99)
This unique, genre-bending fantasy–sci-fi epic has been on our 'must read' list for a while. The story follows Ecko, a savage, gleefully cynical anti-hero who, after awakening in a dimension-jumping inn, finds himself immersed in his own sardonic fantasy world and strives to conquer his deepest fears and save the world from extinction. Doesn't it sound like the perfect Boxing Day book?

MOST WANTED GAME(S)
While we appreciate new-fangled video game type things, sometimes it's good to go a little bit old school. So this year we're hoping someone will treat us to a few board games for a bit of old fashioned, competitive family fun. Top of our list are Game of Thrones (£22.76), a card-based game for two players based on the epic HBO series where players wage war in the fields of Westeros and conspire to crush their opponents in court at Kings Landing, The Big Bang Theory Party Game (£25), in which players compete to pair category cards with show insider phrases and references, and The Lord of the Rings Card Game (£25.49) that puts players in control of the most powerful characters and artefacts of Middle-earth. (Oh, also, this limited edition 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Monopoly - £26.99 - is really, really cool.)

MOST WANTED STOCKING FILLER
Alice In Wonderland By Lewis Carol E-Reader Cover (£14.99)
We heart these vintage book cover-inspired Kindle covers. They come in several designs including The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Dracula, but the Alice In Wonderland is our absolute favourite. So much better than a boring plain one - plus, it'll make us look all clever and literary on the tube.
