Gear Geek Holiday Wish List

From one gear geek to another, I've decided to write up what I think are some of the best holiday suggestions for 2009 season.

The holidays are always a stressful time trying to figure out what to get family members that special gift in a modest price budget. Here's 5 Gear Geek items for active family members.

1. 4GB- Stainless Steel Ipod Shuffle - $99

Perfect for those runs where an Ipod Touch or Ipod classic is too much on your arm. Simply clip it to your shirt or cycling jersey and forget It's even there. The only problem is since It's so small It's easy to lose.

2. Oakley Jawbone Sunglasses - $199

They make changing lenses a no brainer with hinged nose-bridges that swing away taking seconds to put new lens in. They also come in LiveSTRONG color scheme.


3. Yaktrax -$30

The perfect gift for those who love to run but are concerned about the elements. Look sweet and will definitely be trying a pair soon hopefully.


4. Lance's new book Comeback 2.0 - $30

A new book documenting Lance's return to cycling from last fall to this years LiveSTRONG global summit in Dublin, Ireland.


5. Canon f1.8 / 50mm Lens - $96

Perfect for that family member who always seems to have a camera handy and likes all of those close up images.
