thanks bigdave aladdin is the answer i have got, but is there any logical reason why other than association? also the setter of the quiz is adamant that there is an answer of four gifts. LL

Maybe you're too young to remember Aladdinique oil stoves!!

I think it's a reference to the oils lamp in the panto.
