Christmas Gift Ideas Please

[Lizban]

My wife is a Kiwi and the in laws arrive next week so we are having an early Christmas. That means Christmas gifts need to be brought. I brought all mine already but I have no idea what I want.

So the budget is £30 can you think of any (ideally cycling related) gifts for c£30?

I commute every day and think I've got everything I need - anything unusual that you can suggest?

The FibreFlare lights (see separate thread under Bike Accessories, Kit and Clothing) are on my shopping list. They're in your price range, cool and slightly blingy at the same time.

If you add £14 you can get a decent tool kit from Edinburgh Bikes:

+ hat....don't forget the hat.

How about a Sunday morning train ticket to somewhere you've not been to before within a good bike ride radius and spend the day cycling home through unfamiliar countryside?

If they're Kiwi might want to look into some NZ merino gear? Might be cheaper for them to bring it over with them. If it's only £30 probably just a 'base layer' but they are great for cooler summer days or layering in winter.

How about this

Why not just get some vouchers for your fave shop/internet presence which you can add to when the need/desire arises for some biking stuff?

If you've got all the bike stuff you need, these are three things at or under the £30 limit that I'd replace immediately if they went awol:

A good swiss army knife

A good 8" Cook's knife

A Bialetti coffee pot

SP99... 2 on that list would get you an evening of entertainment at Her Majesty's Pleasure! Not bad for £30!

socks

I've got a couple of thin pairs of merino wool socks and they're great for cycling all year round.

I bet they pong a bit, though!

Reckon on you're a Jehovah's Witness and don't have to buy presents. Make sure they know they can buy for you, though.

Cheeky, they get washed every third Sunday when there isn't an 'R' in the month.
