Does he do maintenance on his bike? Maybe a couple nice tools by Park?

Agree with water bottles - best gifts.

Definitely don't make the mistake of buying all sorts of quirky little tools, if the recipient is that into it he/she has everything needed. If you know their lifestyle, one thing I did buy for DH as a stocking stuffer was a bottle opener made out of old bike chain. Something that referenced his hobby that we use in another part of life.


Thanks. Good call on the gadgets, I love to cook/bake and get all kinds of gadgets as gifts that I never use.

Looking to spend 50ish dollars. He probably already has everything, so maybe something quirky or something you wouldn't mind having multiples of....thanks!
