Default What do I want/need for Christmas?

I'm being pestered for a Christmas list which is nice, however most things I want/need (front fork kit for the R1, lightweight battery, carbon wheels etc) are a bit excessive.

Any ideas of good things that I may want in the £5-100 price bracket? I find I'm materially quite happy in my life, which is nice.

Any music/film/book/tool/gadget/other ideas would be great.

So far I've come up with a red wine decanter, red wine, chocolate folding bike ramp and musical air horn for the van!

Seen Senna, and TT is hopefully coming from another source. No comedy for the R1, it's for serious stuff, where as the van is a machine of fun!

I'm in a similar position - very happy with what I have and I don't want much other than stuff which is too expensive to ask others for.
For about the last 5 years, most of my presents have been charity donations - oxfam, wildelife, conservation etc. Maybe you could suggest a few charities that you like?
