Hi all

My bf recently got into mountain biking and i brought him his main gift last month (an iPod Nano - £99 form Argos)

Anyway i was stuck for what to get him - i dont want to get him the boring smellies, cd, pyjamas (ok these dont count as its family tradition we all have new PJs on Xams eve), socks etc. I didnt know what to give him from Ben.

So i was thinking i could make him a hamper type basket but ive no idea what i could put in it.

any ideas??

I have brought my oh a bike for crimbo and thought i would do a hamper for him too.

I am going to put in a bike lock (about £5 from argos but i have seen similar in poundland!), lights, gloves, hat, water bottle, cycle computer (tells you how fass you going etc.. (£7 from argos) and puncture kit (just in case) again from poundland)

Good luck

My hubby does mountain biking and this is a must.

you can't give a hamper without a childs bell in it!

padded cycling shorts!
just for the amusement factor as they look ridiculous on

lghts (if he hasnt already got them) ~ batterys ~ cycle gadget (contains tools etc if hes in a pickle, keyring type thing) ~ fireflys (lights that replace the valves on the tyres that flash in the dark) ~ kaggol/raincoat ~ small saddle bag for the bike ~ water reservoir (the water backpacks)...

Be careful with this one! I bought my hubby some padded shorts as a joke for his birthday but he wears them! Not a pretty sight!

My DH is a mad-keen cyclist/commuter and he likes the cycle gloves that Asda sell for £2.99 (I think) especially because he washes them often!
