If she reads this i hope she gives you a jiffy bag full of air and says to keep it for an emergency if you need to re-inflate your tyre.

Grannies are allowed to be tight unless they are well minted.

Got to agree with Spidey on this one. Depends on your gran and it's totally up to her how she spends her money....she might be saving it all to leave to you one day, you never know.

Is she ok on the internet or can she easily make it to a bike shop to get you bike related goodies? I know my nan wouldn't have a clue where to start and I wouldn't want her to go to all that trouble.

I get things in white boxes off my nan every year, things that she's had free for filling in some questionnaire, listening to a life insurance quote etc...I don't care. It's a running joke in our family and she has the money to buy us lovely things, but she's my nan, I like that she spends her money on holidays as the rest of the time she is home alone.

Why don't you ask her for something she can easily get for you, that will save you little bits of money in the long run, like a packet of good razors that'll last you 6 months or some new pillows to get a good nights sleep. Maybe she could buy you one of your fav Bike mags and fill in the form inside and buy you a years subscription???

Like I said, depends on your nan and you're the only one that will know what she's easily able to get for you, regardless of it being expensive or cheap.
