Pick me a gift for 100 quid

Snapper1

Birthday is coming up, and being the students that we are, the gf has a limit of 100 to spend on.....moi!

So I'm turning to boardsies for some unorthodox gift suggestions.

I have most of the regular stuff, gear, tools, bike-wise so I'm thinking outside the box. Single item or a combination of smaller things. Go mad!

Just, no ski googles...

Cheers

You could always donate the 100 to the 'Colblimp Benevolent Fund'!!!:D

... Pizza cutters can be very sharp you know :rolleyes: ... you could end up having to use the apron yourself after that.

Hmmm...hard to say, have you any ideas of what you would like yourself? Computer? Helmet? Pedals?

There are lots of fiddly doo-dads out there, but whether are of any use to you is hard to guess.

Ok, I'm thinking this cold spell might last a tad longer, so here we go:

SealSkinz Winter Gloves

Canterbury Beanie

Canterbury Base Layer

DHB Buff

All for ~ €100

I'd love one of them. I threatened to get one before, but I just can't justify the price!

Excellent. I've been thinking about it myself and a few things I'm missing are: good pair of bib tights, good cycle computer, v euro sunglasses, chain cleaning kit. If anyone has any particular suggestions...

Defo road biking

Have my Boards winter jacket, ss and ls jersey. I could be tempted by the gloves tho....

Very Euro sunglasses HAVE to cost a lot more than €100

A few of the lads swear by the assos bib tights, slane cycles have decent prices on their gear and are great to deal with.

Park Tools chain cleaner.

Seal Skinz socks. They've seen me through the last few days rightly.

Also these boyos have some pretty cool (expensive) gear. http://www.rapha.cc/
