Christmas Gift Wish List

I am struggling to find suitable gifts for a certain man who is already in possession of far more Rapha clothing, cycling accessories, bike parts, tools and 'general stuff' than any other guy I know, but who is none-the-less eager for shiny new things this Christmas.

Call me boring but I really object to buying gimmicky or silly things which may prompt a smile on the day but thereafter only add to the festive clutter, especially when neither of us are exactly raking in the moolah at the moment.

So, I want to know what items are on your wish list this year, in the hope that you will provide some inspiration. Cycling and non-cycling related items please. Don't hold back ladies and gents!

I'll kick off with BRP's sleek and sexy metal bottle: http://www.lfgss.com/post2535835-619.html - I was given mine this week and it really is amazing.

nice list! thanks!

Amazon wishlist widget added to my chrome browser makes idea shopping easier. As does svpply.com.

Last year I got a torch from Lummi, made down in Devon. I reckon it is the best gift I have been given recently.
I use it all the time, and it really is a amazing thing.

it's a kelly kettle. most men like fire and cups of tea/coffee

I've wanted another SodaStream since my parents binned ours circa 1998 - would stop a lot of bottle wastage!

You might need this on a list too:


nice frame.
what are those gloves? can't tell from url.

tom did you get the BJ?

black omniums now needed?

^ Not one for unwrapping with family under the Christmas tree!

Hey I said wishlist... I don't think I'll be getting any of the above. Well, maybe the gloves. They're specialized BG winter gloves, actually can't find a photo of the specific pair I would like, tried them on in a shop a while back and think they're what my wrists need. Bought the summer ones forgetting how cold winter was.

Can't afford the Bob, I have various things I'd need to sell to make space and money for it, and a trip to Whistler to save for... if it's still about in spring (doubt it) then maybe. Shame really, want it so bad regret buying these other projects!

One of these;

It pays to be specific. So everyone knows what you're missing out on, when they buy you woolen socks.

"We thought you could use some thick socks living up there"
"Thanks, its a good I job had'nt already thought of that. Otherwise I'd swiming in woolen sock LOL" poker face
