Ok, its that time of year again - and with gambling and poker increasing their popularity this year, there's no end of must-haves, never-haves and maybes when buying a gift this Xmas.

So here's a brief list of the best, the tackiest, the worst and the most stupid gambling related gifts this year:

* Poker Glasses: Want to look like your favourite poker player - and not give away anything whilst you're at it? Pokerlenz has the perfect pair of glasses designed just for poker players - even if they look like sunglasses. They're yours for $69.95.

* Floating Blackjack: Thing you've got everything for your pool? (do you even have a pool?). Well, just in case you haven't, you can buy a floating blackjack table so you and your friends can hang around playing blackjack - it includes all the necessary waterproof cards and chips. From Skymall for $59.95.

* Flop till you Drop Thong: I'd call this just a stocking filler - but lets be nice for Xmas. Not much more to be said. Its yours from Cafe Press' Official Poker Store for just $9.99* Chocolate Gamblers: Sheer chocolate indulgence for gamblers. Chocolate chips, cards, slots and dice. Slightly tastier than your average gift. Prices vary from The Chocolate Vault.
