So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Well he cannot be the easiest person to buy a present for can he! I wonder what the present that Molly bought him actually was?
So...what present would you buy Sherlock for Christmas?

Body parts? Lab equipment? A very tight shirt?

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
Very difficult to buy for! For a start off he'd just shake the present and know instantly what it was....maybe a reference book of some kind, or a new scarf.

I think I would get him some new, high quality Pirastro Oliv gut-core strings and some professional grade rosin for his violin.

I'd get him the 2-DVD set of the Star Trek movie (2009) with loads of commentaries and extras.
or a book on bee keeping.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
LOL. I love the way he has a sock index. I can barely even find two socks that match, an index seems like quite a good idea, if a little geeky.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
As a fellow string player I would probably buy him a really comfortable shoulder rest. Nothing is worse than one that doesn't feel right.
Thinking about Molly, I bet she probably got him some cute novelty item, like maybe a deerstalker or a teapot (or a deerstalker tea cozy!). Or a scarf.

Re: So what would YOU give Sherlock for Christmas?
I agree with the scarf idea. Maybe one she knitted herself?

I'd give him a book in ancient Hebrew to decipher.

Ancient Hebrew isn't that difficult to decipher - I learnt it within a few weeks.
Considering that even an ancient Chinese dialect wasn't a big problem for Sherlock you would have to choose something more complicated than this to please him...
