If you're anything like me, every year I rush around last minute for those Christmas gifts. This year I have been so organised that I'm pretty much an expert now! (Joke). But I thought I'd share my hours of searching for the perfect presents with you, for those who are still non-the-wiser!
Whether you're in need of a gift for your loved one, a Secret Santa amongst your cycling community or stocking fillers, you will find something for everyone here!
Obviously everyone's tastes will be different, so the more personal you can make it the better. One really nice idea is to create your own little hamper (if you're feeling particularly creative!)
Where possible it's important to support all the small businesses right now. I have linked a couple of awesome businesses that create great wall art.
For you guys out there, I know it can be difficult choosing a gift for your female cycling/sporty friends, family and colleagues, so I have put together below top finds which cater to whatever your budget is. Click on the link beneath the image to go straight to the best deal for that item (as of today's date!)

If you really want to treat her, you really cannot go wrong with a great quality cycling jersey to add to the collection!
If your cycling bud is a foodie, don’t underestimate the appreciation of a recipe book to optimise your cyclist fuel! If you have a smaller budget, I speak from my experience, the water repellent, ear flap cycling cap is an absolute dream! It is always appreciated whenever you rock up not looking like a drowned rat with red elf ears and this has been my most used and most practical purchase of 2020. For a lover of a multi-purpose and practical products you cannot go wrong with this!
No denial that what is practical for a commuter and what is practical for a racer or leisure rider is obviously miles apart. Being a commuter, these are items are a must-have for those that cycle regularly to and from work. My favourite items are those that keep me dry, but the one thing that has been a great recent purchase for me is the Shimano hybrid pedals. Whether I commute or cycle for leisure, I can do both with minimal effort: clips or trainers! The dream!

We all have that friend who has everything you could ever imagine, and more! This selection is great as they are all very unique ideas and things they will for sure not already have, and will, of course, love!
Another great option for those who may be a little more minimalistic, are things like a sign up for a race you know they want to take part in, or even better, a race the individual and a friend want to be involved in!
Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas, I would love to hear them!
I have really enjoyed putting this guide together and hope you love it too!
