Good call

I'd say a necktube

Is the giftee mechanically inclined, or do they have the spanner twirling ability of a poorly trained daffodil?
If they are of the grubby-fingernailed persuasion then I'd say a haynes manual would be good.

You won't get many tools for £20, I know bergen-man round here was selling rails of 3/8ths sockets for £15, but I'm not sure how good they are.

Don't go for the budget ranges of tools, it is seriously worse than nothing when a tool breaks mid-job.

Furry dice. Can full of petrol?

Actually, I think the Haynes manual suggestion's quite a good one. Too much bike stuff's personal taste really, it's hard to buy things for people. Or vouchers I suppose but I hate buying people vouchers.

The gifts are for me, people are asking what i want, and i want things that i will need for a bike.

Ive gone for the haynes manual. £19 from ebay.

I'd like some tools also, but i don't know what sizes to go for. Even if someone just buys me one or two tools for the £20, its something less for me to buy later.
