Secret Santa - ideas please

[Danny]

Our office has a secret Santa each year where we each have to buy a present - costing no more than £10 - for a colleague drawn randomly from a hat.

I have to buy gift for a colleague whose just taken up leisure cycling, but am not sure what to get. My thoughts have ranged from a simple multi-tool to a guide to leisure rides in the South West where he lives.

Has anyone got any good suggestions?

A goldfish with a helmet, a single pannier and rideing a fixed gear Campag kitted bike......

That should hit all the buttons!

Tub of Chamois Cream

This busts the budget by £1.44 - nice little kit though and in it's own pouch...

How about a mini 'emergency' front & rear light - so that at least he's *seen* if caught out unexpectedly in gloom...

Tescos LED stuff + munchy bits to make up a tenner.

Chain lube and a tube of grease, or if you can get hold of one under a tenner a buff

I'm surprised to find you promoting helmet use.

CC buff?

An opera groupie. Often to be found under a tenor...

a second hand book. Last year I got a thirty year old book of reproductions of Raphael's paintings for a tenner. Really big glossy prints, the kind that you used to get, using smooth paper bound in with the coarser paper on which the text is printed.

I always promote helmet use........and double panniers

Bottle of white and a bottle of red.

I'm sure he'll enjoy it.

...Perhaps a bottle of rose instead
We'll get a table near the street
