Recommend some cheap Cycling Presents for Christmas

[fossyant]

My daughter has asked what I want for Christmas. Don't know, don't need anything.

But what relatively inexpensive bits of cycling 'stuff' can she get for me. She's a student so don't want her spending much - less than £30. Same could be said for my son also, just something useful and not costly.

Don't have ideas as such but as students use their Totum cards (what was NUS discount), lots of cycling/outdoorsy offers.

I dont expect prezzies from my kids ( i have to pay for them ) or my mother and father in law who are both on fixed pensions ,
In fact add mrs ck to that too as i would rather have money for things like err food , heating and better prezzies for the kids .

How about a cheap smart watch for under £15. Poundland are selling them and could be a useful for reading your HR whilst out cycling

Cycle shorts?
Overshoes?
Gloves?
Pump?
Multitool?
Sunglasses?

Campag corkscrew

Failing that, caps/gloves/Salford docks

Most of them are semi junk. You might find an Amazfit Bip for near £30. Just make sure it has GPS.

Over the years I have got;
A draw string bag with "Name cycling kit" printed on it
A towel printed "Keep cycling"
A cushion with my name, last two digits of my birth year and "Tour of Sofa"

Most of this comes from https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/

A puncture repair kit is a very welcome present

Inner tubes, chain oil, batteries, chains for the commuter, brake pads, etc.
Consumables are always needed!

I usually tell my kids to get me Wiggle vouchers, but times have changed.

How about an OS map, centred on your house with a custom front cover, covering all your local cycle routes.

Just stating the obvious (apologies) but whatever you put on your list be specific so you don't end up with brake cables, tubes, whatever, that don't fit. I'm just grateful for anything bike related but my kids already know I'd rather have a bottle of malt because whichever one they buy they know it'll go inside a week
