Angelina Jolie says that she is "obsessive" when it comes to picking out the perfect gifts for her family.

The mother-of-six told Extra that she goes to great lengths to ensure they have exactly what they want and she really enjoys doing it.

The Hollywood actress has been with partner Brad Pitt for six years and says she is a "closet geek" when it comes to any kind of celebration.

"I spend hours and hours to get the perfect Christmas stocking or gift bag ready," she confessed.

"I am obsessive Brad will tell you I lose my mind for the kids' birthday parties. I will spend days working on gift bags! That's an oddity about me."

The A-List couple are parents to Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, Zahara, six, Shiloh, five, and three-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

Angelina recently made her directorial debut for the movie, In the Land of Blood and Honey.

After the New York premiere earlier this week, Angelina and Brad had a rare night out together and partied until 3.30am.

The pair were apparently very affectionate with each other and were seen hugging and kissing and in no hurry to get home.
