I don't know what I want for Xmas

asprilla

I was thinking about asking for an Exposure Joystick and a Redeye to stick on the back, but I think I already look like an Xmas tree.

Short of a TT or CX frame which a) I wouldn't get and b) asking for would lead to me getting my balls cut off, I can't think of anything I want.

Anyone else in the same position?

Every time I go to a party all everyone says they want for christmas is 'you', whatever the f*ck 'you' is.

Bound to be good.

Just stuck a Diablo and Redeye on my lid.
*MUST* remember not to give glare of death to idiot drivers/peds/RLJs when blindness may result from said glare.

My dilemma is which new pump to ask for.

Just remember that presents are treats.

They should always be something that you "want", not something that you "need".
I guess that's how you define "need" though

I'm aware that presents are treats, but Mrs A and I usually set a budget and then get each other something to that value. That's usually to stop me overspending on her.

This year we can't even set a budget.

I mentioned that I wanted lights and that there were several solutions I was looking at. When I tentatively said it would cost more than £50 Mrs A was a little shocked that a light could cost more than that.

She's not specifically asked how much my Strada was and so I've not told her.

Ah!

Never ask for a gift that can be perceived as over priced. That's what the internet and work delivery was invented for
Always try to ask for things that are perceived to have a higher value, i.e. bargains.
I asked for a pair of noise cancelling headphones (a few long haul flights coming up). £60 would have appeared expensive for "only" a pair of headphones but the recommended retail price is £150 so they were a "bargain" Sorted. :P

yes, told my nearest and dearest not to bother with my Birthday or Christmas a week later, I'll treat myself to something nice when I find something I like and let 'em know what it is. the distant people have been instructed to get me amazon vouchers that I'll convert to music or kindle stuff.

I really don't get the big hoo-ha about these sort of things now I'm over 12.

I dont actually need or really want anyting material that is but i do still like something that's personal ie something cycling related (Rapha or Castelli) perhaps.

I also like to think i'm pretty good at present giving, after all shopping is sort of what i do for a living

Yeah, I saw that in another thread.

Wine is my third favourite thing (after my family and riding bikes) so maybe I should focus my search efforts there.
