Being asked for ideas by my ever-so-efficient family - Any ideas? Both my bikes are at the point where the only upgrades I could make are silly money, have all the spare tyres, tools, pumps and bike kit I need. So unless I break something in the near furure, I probably want non bike stuff. Would like something to play mu old vinyl on, but that's pricy.
What non-bike, not-that-expensive stuff are you hoping for?
Not-expensive stuff I am always glad to recieve are maps for the places I haven't been to yet but want to go to.
beer??
or for bike related stuff think of something you wouldnt want to buy yourself ie coloured ti-bolts! thats what i asked for once!
Bike tools?

Children and dogs would detroy coffee table books or anything else on coffee table
Have a waterproof pouch
Hate merino
Might get that for my youngster
This degree of first world problem is why I hate Christmas.

Whisky, single malt only. Various.
Tell family to send a PayPal gift, perhaps altogether in a lump sum, tell them all what you have or will use money on expensive bike bit.
Or receive lots of socks; jumpers; tins of sweets etc. 😉
Beer. Socks.
Beer socks?
Aeropress
Axe
Subscription to a mag
Moroccan oil for your beard
Audi key ring
Etc...
A dog.
Dog insurance
De feet woolie-bookie socks are indeed ace. The ones I have have lasted years and are nowhere near in need of replacing
I have two dogs, one is a puppy that's almost housetrained. I need a break before I go through all that again.
Whisky, single malt only. Various - I would like a bottle of Midleton, but my family would be horrified at the price of that sort of alcohol
I use a wee stove top coffee pot, so don't really need an Aeropress
I have an Axe
Not much of a mag reader
Moroccan oil for your beard - this sounds kind of interesting
Audi key ring - I already have a VW keyring in a drawer somewhere that came free with my car. Maybe some day I'll have an Audi one.
Etc...
All I want for Christmas is socks. I never thought I would get to that stage in life where socks were an acceptable Christmas present, let alone a gift that I actually asked for. But I did get there.
agreed. dunno when it happened but i suddenly get enormous pleasure from good socks. dont want any for xmas tho, unless i specify them!!
World Peace
...and socks.
