You have to out-think the bag, Pat.

It's pricey for a stocking stuffer, but I think arm HRMs are all the rage now. I think I might get one to pair with my watch if I get any gift certificates from Santa.

Maybe. There are some good ideas here. I've looked at those lights Robbie started with. Got to get me one.

You provide the stuffer. That's what I've read somewhere, anyway.

Remo patch kits perfect size for a stocking we can all use them....if for no other reason than to help other bikers (if you are running tubular or tubeless

)

This year

Found a product called gear floss and I'm absolutely hooked. Hard to beat for cleaning brackets and cassettes, and reasonably affordable. Anyone else using it or something similar?

Other than that I've found kasai lights to be a pretty nice, entry level lights that don't use a proprietary elastic band that'll break in a year. Also pretty cost effective as I recall. I'll also second the blackbibs.com comment as their stuff is both quality and cost effective.
