Holiday Gift Ideas

[jessmarimba]

I think I'm gonna have to go with food-related stuff. He's got everything he could possibly need gear-wise for every sport he's ever liked. And what needs replaced he's so attached to that it would be an insult for me to try. I gave up after one gift-giving holiday with this one.

*sigh*

So I hope someone else gives you an idea I can mooch.

For work, I'm planning to give something to each classroom (that they can use with the kids) rather than give a mountain of tiny crappy items to the staff. This year I have 8 classrooms and each room has 5-6 staff.

For the rest of the staff, I'll bring tangerines or something. And I turn all the fundraiser food right around and give that back to the staff too, because I don't want to eat it. Except for the Girl Scout cookies. There is one cookie dough fundraiser that the dough resembles a polymer--Fimo clay or something, not food.

We have a new principal this year and he asked me what past principals have given to staff members. Seriously, I am not a good person to ask - I don't need more stuff and the little trinkets they give us tend to go right into the garbage. I told him the best present was to take my recess duty one day.

I don't know what I'm going to get Thom. I told him I wanted some fancy wheels for my Cervelo. He just laughed. Now the Cervelo, was an awesome just because present from him that I got in March for no reason other than he loves me.

We're going to be in Maine for the holidays. And I'm not carting presents across the country and back.

How about this for a bike gear head?

I think the best work gift I ever got was a package of 4 "Holiday Spices," spice jars of cinnamon, ginger, clove & nutmeg. I used them right up!

That Park bike shop stool is pretty neat.

I found some men's medium tall bike jerseys on Amazon. Go figure. You really can buy anything there.

Still shopping...

What about custom bike frame decals w/ his name on them, like the pros have? I think somewhere you can even get them with a little flag for the country of your choice.

(You'd have to do some research. A friend did this for her son when he got his first road bike, but I never found out where she got them.)
