I know it seems like a bit of a silly question - I should know, shouldn't I?
People are asking as it's a couple of weeks away and I can't really think of much - I'm not going to be getting a new bike or the like as it's things in the region of £50-£100. I'm essentially pretty happy with my bikes, I've got all the kit I need, I guess I could get some 'normal' clothes but I always find that a bit boring. Not really into buying films/music/DVDs and I already have more booze than I can comfortably get though without a visit to A&E...
About all I can come up with is a new helmet since my current one is a couple of year old and being tall, I have a tendency to knock it on low hanging trees (and satellites). I already have a ST mag subsription BTW.
So, over to the STW fount of all knowledge and suggestion!
(yes, I know in these times, it might sound a bit OTT but I keep getting asked and I honestly don't know what to say)
Get a years supply of Colostrum for your bouts of intense training 😉
Edit: I just got the 661 recon helmet and very pleased with it for £50
funny, I was thinking along those lines but I don't think that the family would really be all that keen...
(on the Donkey - not the colostrum - that's just silly 😉 )
What about winter cycling clothes given we have got to -4 here in Devon already this year?
jump training course or something like that which involves a day out.
Already got. Been cycling for years so got all the kit I need really (or as my wife would say, far more than I need...)
ooh! Skills course - THAT's a good idea! could do with that 🙂
agree with skillz course - I think it's likely to be the next upgrade I buy...
At the risk of sounding practical, how about an evening/day of baby sitting to go and do as you please for a bit?

A pack of 10 power balance holograms.
Only £59.99!
I don't think you deserve anything, as you haven't been good enough, quite frankly.
Sorry, but there it is.
Wow - what great value for money that hologram kit is. I have just ordered one!
S'ok Fred - I wasn't expecting a present from you 😉
Get your thinking cap on Clubber, can take a while but you'll come up with something.
Maybe I could get a thinking cap for my birthday.
Cake?
Cards?

Good cos you're not getting one. So nerr.
If you can't think of anything you obviously have too much stuff. Adopt/sponsor a maltreated donkey or something.
I could argue that I have just the right amount of stuff 😉
So if you sponsor one of these donkeys, what does it do?
I'd be looking for value for my £5.
It eats and poops and goes 'Hee-haw', and you get a sense of enormous well being.
My experiance of suggesting the 'adopt a donkey', 'protect a scrap of woodland' kind of things, is people ignore you, then buy you cheap plastic tat from china which you don't want anyway.
... so the only thing I can suggest, is they buy you loads of beer and food, so you can throw a big party for all your LVIS buddies ... then we can all go to A&E together 😉
adopt a donkey to do a skills course.
last year rather than buy a present my sister donated the money she would have spent on my wife's xmas present to a charity to build wells in africa.
My wife was f&ing livid.
My wife was f&ing livid.
I shouldn't laugh, but I'm afraid I did. 😳
Does that make me a bad person?
