The Best Stocking Stuffers for Motorcyclists

Ideas for Great Motorcycle Gifts and Biker Holiday Stockings

Nov 8, 2009

Small motorcycle gifts make wonderful stocking stuffers. These simple biker gift ideas are perfect for stockings or as gifts to scatter through the entire holiday season.

The holiday stocking is a wonderful part of seasonal fun. For many families, the magical day begins with ripping into a stocking packed with teaser goodies. With these motorcycle gift ideas, there is no need for riders to miss out on the action. (For even more gifts, the rider might consider putting out an entire motorcycle boot instead of a stocking!)

Healthy Stocking Stuffers for Motorcyclists

Sooner or later most motorcyclists will hit the asphalt, or will come across somebody who has. One excellent motorcycle gift is an essential item for all motorcyclists – a small first aid kit. REI and AAA both carry inexpensive kits and refills to go with them. A suitable kit will cost in the region of $10-$30 and should be physically small.

A tube of arnica is a good add-on to a stocking stuffer. Arnica is a natural remedy that rapidly reduces bruises and swelling, making it a good motorcycle gift. For a different approach to motorcycle gifts, a bottle or spray of Bach's Rescue Remedy may be considered. Rescue Remedy can help reduce shock after falls and near misses, and may even be taken as a boost on a long, stressful ride.

Stocking Stuffers That Help Bring the Motorcyclist Home

A tire repair kit can mean the difference between getting home in timely manner and not; a hand pump that fits a motorcycle valve works well as a complementary motorcycle gift. The Planet Bike Mini Versair pump is one such device and costs around $20-$25. It folds up small enough to stay in a saddlebag and will easily slide into a holiday stocking.

Checking tire pressure is also an important part of the pre-ride checkup. An Accu-Gage digital tire gauge is highly accurate and easy to use. Selling for between $10 and $20, these devices are tiny and make great stocking stuffers. Of course, a manual gauge works too

Other Motorcycle Gift Ideas For a Holiday Stocking

Many motorcyclists take along an array of electronic equipment ranging from digital cameras to GPS units. An extra pack of AA batteries is a good side-gift for any gadget-inclined motorcyclist. Rechargeable batteries and a charger also work as stocking stuffers.

Another welcome motorcycle gift, especially at this cold time of year, is anything that helps keep the rider warm. Small, inexpensive hand warmers, activated when scrunched up, make good stocking stuffers. They can be found at outdoors and department stores and may be dropped into boots or gloves for hours of relief.

Wristies, a brand of fingerless gloves made from fleece, come in a variant with a hand-warmer pocket. With or without the hand warmer, these gloves fit well under gloves for an additional layer. Generic glove liners made from silk are also warm stocking stuffers and may be found at any motorcycle store.
