I saw my first Coca Cola Christmas commercial on television earlier this week, a sure and inevitable sign that the countdown to Christmas is now on. If you’re wondering, there are just 38 days to go, so probably time to start thinking what to buy that special person then.

Which is where we aim to help you out. This regular Christmas Gift Guide will be packed with perfect stocking fillers and present ideas for a cycling friend, partner, family member or even yourself. So tune in everyday to make sure you don’t miss out.
