Gaz needs no introduction as he's probably sold you a cycling thing or two over the years. So what does the ultimate sales guy pick as the ultimate present?
This year he has chosen the Bontrager Charger floor pump at just £33. Sure, a floor pump might not have the glitz or glamour of some swanky anodised stem cap or gazillion feature multi-tool but this is £33 that's going to get you out the door and riding fast and with little fuss and Gaz knows this. If you don't own a floor pump yet, it might be time to give yourself a little Christmas treat (or nudge someone else in the right direction).
A good floor pump is money well spent and the Charger is a great value floor pump. This pump will make light work of tyre inflation at home. It's auto-select valve will easily inflates both Schrader and Presta valve types and there is a large and easy to read pressure gauge for accurate pressure setting.

Not only does the strike have some great details like gel palm pads, Terry sweat wipe and Velcro cuff (to make getting on and off so much easier) but the Strike also has a fully waterproof membrane to keep your hands dry and warm through the worst of the winter weather.
