What to ask for Christmas?

[buddha_bellies]

hmmm... I just got a new road bike for the NEXT 10 Christmas and then some from my DH. But because I commute to work everyday, in the rain and dark, he bought me a really bright headlights too.

How about a pair of sunglasses with interchangeable lens?

I know DH wants a compact crank set.

Stocking stuffers from the under $20 list might be wool socks, anti-chafing cream, energy gels/ blocks, mini blink lights, bells, tire patches, beanies and headbands, etc...

I don't want anything actually.

I'd be happy if someone gave me an envelope stating a farm animal, bike, or something has been given to a community in need.

I need panniers for my newly-converted commuter, but they're not on my Christmas list as I live in Minnesota and am not a year-round-even-in-the-snow-and-below-zero rider. I'll more likely be asking for them for my birthday (June 14).

On Sunday my brother and I ordered a fluid trainer for our parents. It also came with some DVDs, the mat, and the thong. I know they were planning on just getting one because they're expensive, so now maybe they can still get it and both be able to leave their bikes hooked up. I'm getting my brother a jersey and lights, and I picked up a hi-viz vest for my parents to give to him. I also got my mom some shoes. She'll never use clipless pedals, but I think she'll benefit just from having a stiffer sole. I think I'll pick up some basic tools, like tire levers and tubes to give everyone, too. Oddly, I'm not sure if I asked for cycling stuff myself. I asked for train commuting supplies like a better backpack, wellies, and some rain pants. I'll always take more jerseys and socks, and I'd like full-finger gloves and knickers. I hear my uncle got me the Princeton Tec Yukon headlight, so I'm excited to try that out.

Gift certificate and dinner reservations at one of the better restaurants in town - some place where I'll need to get dressed for dinner. Maybe even need to buy a special dress.

Oh, and a dinner date....

I did ask for books: cycling, adventure travel types. Toe Warmer shoe covers are an excellent stocking stuffer I got one year.

I asked for a new trainer for Christmas. My old one that I got used off Craig's List is just too noisy. I am getting DBF a new watch for running.
