Hmm.. I am a sucker for Christmas Ornaments is the only reason I threw that out. DH and I get one every year to symbolize something for the year. Our tree is getting so much more personal each year.I respect that a lot of people don't do Christmas for various reasons.
What about something local and a favorite bike gadget? I know local has been done before, but it is always neat to get something from someone's home. A postcard, CHOCOLATE (subtle hint) , socks from the LBS, anything you can find that says "THIS IS MY HOME!". Heck if you get more or CyclChyk you can make it an ornament!
Winter bike stuff is hard to find here. The minute I posted that I realized our Aussie gals would need summer stuff in November!

Everyone will send an IM to Aggie_Ama with their name and address
and preferences, if necessary. She will send each person who IM'd her
someone else's address. YOu will need to buy/make/prepare stuff for the address she sends YOU.
it's fun!

AGGIE - I just wanna say I like your way of thinking! I too love getting a new ornament each year to celebrate me and my DH's life together.
And I'm easy so I vote for whatever. I just love shopping for others and *seeing* their faces light up at the surprise of the gift. Of course, I always get something for myself when I am shopping for others so there IS an ulterior motive

Thanks CyclChyk. Thread hikack! We love shopping together for our ornament. Originally Posted by CyclChyk

Year 4 (this year)- We will be looking for the perfect "First Christmas in Our New House" ornament.
Back to the debate, seems bike gadgets are getting a positive response. Other ideas? I will keep watching for suggestions until Sunday then we will settle on a theme. I love getting my SS gifts, so whatever we come up with will be great!
