Had a very loaded conversation with the wife about what size I am in various different brands...she instigated it, and then I over-complicated it!
Hope I didn't put her off!
Cash.... deposit for my new Merida Reacto DA at the end of January...
The only thing I want for Christmas is some half-decent weather so I can get a few miles in.
there was a fair bit of Vulpine on it!
Tools, accessories, and similar stuff - all things that can't be bought in a 'wrong' version or colour (like components or kit).
But yes. Exclusively. Though I'm afraid I'm bound to get some non-cycling related stuff too. I'm just going to have to try not to look too disappointed in that case.
desperately hoping my missus wearing the kinky thing i put in her Christmas stocking oh no wait ... wrong forum!!!
Every last thing...Mrs won't even take the chance buy anything else due to the look of disappointment absolute on my face

Shoes, pedals, helmet, more shoes......
Pretty much all bike stuff for me then.
Threats of being stabbed in the head from SWMBO.....ahem...'curtailed my 'surprise' finds' in my cycling clothes drawer....unless it's bonus time and some extra cash is heading my way.....like this January when my 15 year service award is due....so maybe it's January sales treats instead of self bought Christmas treats...(I've yet to 'explain' my recent acquisition - a Galibier Colombiere jacket )
Already had my xmas pressie !! everyone clubbed together o I could get the Turbo Trainer in September
Nothing for me to open on Xmas day but I think I may have some new gloves from my daughter
No, it would be vetoed with the comment, "you already have far too much cycling stuff".
Or as the CFO here at Truffy Inc is wont to say, "you don't really need to spend that money!?"
I'm a grown-up - I don't have a xmas list. If I want something, I buy it myself, that's the beauty of having a job and a salary.
Sorry guys, Christmas is cancelled.
Might I also hazard a guess that you're single? Or at least, not yet in such a long term relationship that your/your partners money has morphed into 'our money'? I reckon most on here earn a decent salary - I'm freelance and do quite well thanks - but with a house/wife/kids/cars/christmas etc, it's not just a case of throwing money at my toys whenever I want.
In response to the OP, I'm hoping for a few cash donations in cards, as I wouldn't trust anyone else to get the right chainset! "Great thanks Mum, can you make sure it's a 6800 series 50/34 172.5mm in grey?!"
I have asked for some Chase marmalade vodka though - it's awesome!
New bike. Collect it Saturday.
I stuck a Cateye Volt 700 on the list too, hopefully Santa listened.
No, because I can't trust anyone else to pick the right size/colour or titanium/carbon enough.
Basically I don't want the other half knowing how much decent gear costs!
When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my cycling gear for what I told her it cost.
If mine does...I won't care what she sells it for. I'll be dead.
A lovely new Vulpine jersey...
Yes
