Muck-Off Bike Wash Set
There are very few things that give me more satisfaction than a clean bike. If you don't have a personal mechanic, these Muck-Off products are the bee's-knees. http://www.muc-off.com/products/bicycle/kits/8_in_1_pit_kit
Kustom Caps
KustomCaps.com makes cool, laser-etched headset caps in a variety of sweet anodized colors. An excellent way to subtly customise your bike without going overboard.
RoadID
Every cyclist should have one of these, but unfortunately I still don't. I'm ordering one for myself today. Get from www.roadID.com
Garmin Edge 200
We've just tested the new Garmin 200 and once again they've nailed it (review coming next week). It's basically a stripped down Edge 800 (without the maps and ANT+). Only $149. http://www.firstendurance.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=3528
Books
Some excellent books have come out this year (L-R): The Jersey Project, Racing Through the Dark, One Way Road (Signed copies can be purchased through Fyxomatosis), Rouleur Photo Annual, The Rider (not new, but it should be manditory reading), and Mountain High
Magazine Subscriptions
Six of my favorite road cycling magazines are (L-R): Rouleur, RIDE, Peloton, Bicycling Australia, Velo, ProCycling. There's no better gift than a magazine subscription that keeps giving all year long
