What cycling related gifts did you get for Christmas?

We scaled down Christmas for the adults this year, and most of my gifts wound up being cycling related because my husband and I decided to mostly do stockings for each other. (I had asked for a Bobike baby seat for my daughter, but at the last minute J. decided they were too dangerous and he bought me a really nice Smartwool sweater instead. I forgive him.)

I got a new hemp bag for my Soma, which is on order so I don't have it yet, plus a full tool kit and frame pump for that bike. I had had the brilliant idea of putting another clip onto it so I could switch my QR Topeak tool bag between my two road bikes, but on my first solo ride with the Soma, I (a) forgot to do that, (b) read an unreliable weather report and got me and the baby stuck in the rain when (c) I got a flat tire. With no tools, a nearly dead cell phone, and a very angry toddler who wanted to go home. So he got me a tool kit to never leave the Soma, since bag-switching is clearly too much for me to handle!

I also got Power Grips which I am going to try on the Soma (I do not want to have to wear special shoes on that bike since I use it to haul the kid to playgrounds and such) and a really nice Ibex sweater that is too pretty to just be a base layer.

I filled his stocking with Clif bars, gel packets, a new patch kit, a couple of sets of Pedros levers (we have a million; he got me some too, and they also make great baby toys in a pinch -- she stacks them like Legos), some new gloves, and toe covers. He loved the toe covers and I may get a set as well.

Penny got nothing bike related but that is because she already has everything.

That Seven wool jersey is nice.

Oh, I forgot, I also got J. a wool Campy jersey.

I got my new LHT about 6 weeks ago. I'd asked for contributions towards it for both my birthday and christmas this year - by chance it had been ready to pick up on my birthday.

So for Christmas I got some money from my parents which roughly equates to the custom built wheels. They also gave me a topeak multi-tool.
