I don't know if it's unique, but you could buy an assortment of energy bars, gels, sports beans, that sort of thing, and bundle them up in a nice little package. If you find them on sale, say in the $1 to $1.50 range, then that would get you 6-10 different items for the gift package.

I think the Cage Rocket is very cool.
Instead of trying to stuff everything into a tiny saddle bag, this container fits into one of your water bottle cages and holds you stuff! Simple idea, very useful!

I have a horizontal water bottle holder though, and I could move my flat stuff to there with this device, and mount water bottles behind the seat... so I don't have to race with a Camelbak or just one water bottle."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

Darn...this isn't under $10, but I found a really cool pizza cutter today in the shape of a bike with the front wheel being the cutting tool. I got it at my local Trek shop....$19.95.
It's for my nephew...hope he's not reading this forum.

Thanks for the ideas. The pizza cutter sounds cool.
