Christmas Gifts for Women...

Gingie

Ok,
So it appears that for christmas Luna bars are a good option?! What the frack?! Who wants Luna bars as a christmas gift? I think Bikemagic seriously need to actually think about how they define christmas gifts...

Check out their top 10 gifts for women, and pray your man-folk don't get inspiration from the list...

I'm so excited to watch this DVD its fricking unreal!

What about you lot? What do you want from Santa?

I wouldn't mind anything from that list, although I'm not entirely sure about the socks.

I would be a little disappointed if it was the only thing I received but at least he would have went to the trouble of looking for something I would like.

I do wonder what (male) planet the writers of some articles are from when they come up with a 'top 10 pressies for the girls list'

OK, perhaps I am a bit odd, but for me tops, shorts, camelpaks and gloves need to fit, so unless you have done some heavy duty hint dropping- ie writing down the size and colour etc, you are likely to get the wrong size....
Socks as a pressie normally result in a low grade 'cold shoulder' and as for the concept of an energy bar as a pressie????? (unless as 'stocking fillers')

But at least all the items are female specific and in reasonable colours- not just PINK....

And if my OH does fancy buying me the Oakleys I wont complain!

At least they were trying!

All I need now is to work out what the OH wants- as he doesnt know himself!!

Most of the things on the list I wouldn't want someone to buy for me. Some is stuff I already have equivalents of and some is stuff I had considered but decided against buying anyway. The camelback for example is too small, I like to carry too much stuff.

That list is a hell of a lot better than some of the 'top ten' gift lists out there though. No sparkly pink cosmetics or handbags with frilly bits!

I'd rather a nice new toolbox, a decent pedal spanner and some gear cables!

Hmmmm.... :?

Loeka gear I like - but I would be seriously unimpressed if all I got for Christmas was an energy bar :shock:

Gingie

To be fair to bikemagic, i was also impressed that not every item was pink...

I like the Loeka gear too (never knew it was pronounced Lowka- i've been calling it Lo-E-ka for ages-Fail!)

Usually_Lurking i'm loving your christmas list

Yup me too... Surely that IS the more sensible way of pronouncing it though

Well, according to some mouthpiece on the radio at lunchtime, Botox is gaining popularity as a Xmas pressie in the UK :shock:

I'm guessing this is just some c**p dreamt up by some tabloid journo, but can you imagine the sort of plank that'd give their SO a gift voucher to get some botox!?!

Ha ha ha...! Chris would be wearing his Christmas dinner if he did that :evil:

(although to be fair I could probably do with a good botox-ing :oops: )

Unimpressed!
Just a selection of random "girl-specific" things, and whoever heard of a girl-specific snack. Does it contain extra testosterone that we lack or something?!
I would personally rather like a torque wrench and some tungsten-studded ice tyres.
Probably just what a bloke would also want for a carbon bike surrounded by icy tracks....
The whole thing always annoys me "for her", "for him". Aren't we all just mountain bikers?
But yeah, at least they weren't all pink and sparkly.
I'd rather hope my boyfriend knows what I need/like/want without having a website tell him!

This thread keeps making me happier and happier!

i really want to send a message to bikemagic, and be like

'we don't want none of your Luna bars! We want gear cables, tool boxes, a torque wrench and some tungsten-studded ice tyres! '

hahaha i don't think they'd know what's hit them...

p.s. i cannay understand how you can have a women's specific bar... clever marketing i suppose...

Gonna risk sticking my head over the parapet here..... In the defence of Luna bars! My OH bought some because they were on 3 for 2 offer - er, oh yeah, and because she found out they're dark chocolate topped. Well, I don't know about the female specific dietary bumpf, but the nuts over chocolate variety are super yummy. In fact, I think I'll suggest she buys me a crate of 'em for Xmas

oooh I like the phone bag.

Usually_Lurking

Oh yeah, that list is far more like it!

I have to admit.....i'm spoilt rotten by my OH

I know there's a very shiny..very new set of Fox 32 F100 Terralogic 15QR with my name on!!!

Thankfully he knows that the last thing I would ever want is a 'Pink' riding top. :roll:
