    Anybody get any good cycling gifts lately? Or some good gifts for running, hiking, skiing, etc?

    And also this Bontrager taillight, which is supposed to be good for daylight as well as after-dark rides:

    I've also got a gift cardfor a new Road ID. My old ones are yellow wristbands; I think I will get orange this time.

    Anyone else?

    Nice gifts, NY! Love the doormat.

    We didn't exchange this year as we have to travel super light. We got $100 from my folks to spend on dinners out, and that was it. Fine with me; I prefer to receive consumables as gifts and buy myself other stuff I want/need.

    Nicccce mat.

    No gifts here but we did purchase for us (during the boxing day week sale) a merino base layer shirt for cooler days on our bikes and hubby got a thin hat to put under his helmet when cold. At 50-80% off for all our purchases it was worth it. The rest of our purchases are more like work clothes for me and a pair of boots for him.

    My mother in law bought me a winter jersey and capris. The jersey is a bit small - maybe that will encourage me to lose weight :-) It is my normal size in regular clothes, but I like my jerseys a little looser. Most important was the thought behind the gift -- I've been riding seriously for about three years now so it means she noticed what I'm doing and what I like to do (probably because her grandsons, my boys, have been riding a lot with me this year and they talk about it a lot).
