I want to buy a few gift for a couple Tri/running friends. I’m looking for things under $50.00, any cool gadgets out there in that price range!?!? i don’t really want to go the clothing route, too hard to pick stuff out.
Thanks,
Sonny
Elastic laces, aero-bottles, bar tape, brake pads, bike tools, chamois cream… That’s about all I can think of for now…
salt tabs dispenser…
Depends on the distance.
You can’t go wrong w/ a PBN Gift Certificate 
.
And if you are a new customer, go for $50 and get another $10 for a survey! Great customer service and prices!
Cycling DVD’s (Spinervals or the like), books (Tour de France series, any of the good triathlon training books), gift certificates to the LBS.
You could buy them 1/3 of a Cobb V-Flow saddle. In three years they will be so happy you won’t believe it!
Seven yardsticks

The Seasonal Gu boxes? Festive flavors and packaging!
every serious cyclist needs one of these and Mr. Coffee makes one for under fifty.
Cleats, Handlebar tape, or a fancy bottle cage.
7 yard sticks. Now that’s funny! Made my day.
2010 Inside Triathlon Calendar.
How about a couple of boxes of Cliff bars or whatever consumables they like? I know its not exciting, but very convenient to have over the year. The gift that keeps on giving kind of thing. Even stocking stuffers like tubes and such. Again, boring, but very nice to have when its really needed.
road id

Road ID, Bartape, Camelbak water bottles, arm warmers, head band/ear covers, DZ Nuts (for fun)
.
Unless your friends have serious allergies to medicines, I wouldn’t waste money on Road ID.
