Best chrimbo prezzie for around a tenner?

Ph!l_GeeWhizz

So, my bro asked what i wanted for chrimbo and i dont have a clue. Theres lots i want but as i've only spent a tenner on him, i feel it only fair he spends the same on me.
So what do you buy for a keen cyclist for around a tenner? I had been looking for a book about cycling around the world but not found one that takes my fancy.
Any ideas?

Mark Beaumont's book about his rrecord breaking trip around the world is worth a read.

How about coming to an agreement with your brother not to bother with giving each other a similarly value gift and simply buy yourself what you want when you want it?

I gave up receiving/giving Christmas presents for adults years ago. A lot less hassle. Most gifts are things you wouldn't buy for yourself simply because you don't want them. All it does is generate waste.

How about ignoring this dribble.
If you're really stuck, a gift voucher (as previously mentioned) is an acceptable cop out, but please, don't let go of the spirit of Christmas... :evil:

Which is?

If I were religious, which I'm not, I'd despair at the supposed 'spirit of Christmas'. As it is I do my best to ignore most of it. Except, of course, to stir up Christmas threads
