Triathlete Holiday Gift Ideas?

As a noob long-course triathlete I thought I would poll the group for suggestions on what to put on the Christmas wish list for the wifey.  I have the essentials, power meter, bike, etc.  But thought it would be fun to start a thread for wish list ideas that perhaps everyone could benefit from.  Here are a couple that are already on my list...

  1. Tanita bc558 body composition monitor (as if the weekly check in thread didn't make me neurotic enough...)
  2. Trigger Point Massage Kit
  3. Cobb Cycling VFlow Plus saddle

    • RoadID
    • I'm going to be putting my favorite running shoes on my list - it's something siblings can buy and I'll be certain it's something I need/want (and they can easily order online)
    • Forerunner 310xt
    • One of the bike DVD's - Troy Jacobson, sufferfest, etc.  (I don't have any)
    • iPad to watch Netflix while on the trainer  (see how I can turn that expense into a "fitness" expense?!?)
    • Go shopping in the EN gear store - get pimped out EN style!!

  • I'm thinking of asking for a TRX Suspension system.
  • I am always a sucker for a good cycling jersey, but it needs to be different. I love the Jersey of the Month from Bicycle Magazine.
  • 1. Socks. Whatever your favorite cycling and running socks are. You can never have enough.
    2. Race Across the Sky.
    3. Competitive Cyclist gift certificates. So you can buy things like carbon fiber cages and new cassettes that non-triathletes will not understand.
    4. Love the new jersey idea.
    5. Sunglasses. For looking cook while racing.
    6. I'm obsessed with everything Rapha this year. Jerseys. Neat little leather bags.
    7. Good jacket, vest, other cold weather gear.
  • 1) Gift certificate to LBS
    2) Massage gift certificates
    3) Gift certificate to work with a Sports Dietitian to nail your fueling
    4) Race wheels
    5) Gift certificate for bike fit
  •  Hard to go wrong with race wheels - I have my eye on the new Hed Jet 5's which should rock for racing cross

  • some great ideas folks!  Thanks.

  • Cash, cold hard cash.

  • ahhh Penny nailed it with "Massage gift certificates"

    I am going to add:

    2. x2 (Paul) TRX suspension system
    3. tri jersey and shorts
    4. Cash for "Coaching Services"
  • I give the gift of shameful self promotion....
