I did this last year and it went down well so thought I would make an early start as I am struggling to pin point one.

It can be a bike, parts, tools, books, clothing/kit, event tickets, etc.

No proof of this, but wouldn't you imagine that the majority of drivers have ridden pushbikes at some point in their lives, even if only as kids?

A few things for me - making the transition from MTB to CX to road bike, I got a Van Nicholas Mistral for my LeJog, which has been phenomenal so far.
Overshoes - who's have thought that summer cycling shoes don't have to be freezing in the winter?!?
Garmin Edge 500 - easy to set up (i.e. turn it on) and even easier to transfer between bikes.
Race entry fees...I'll never be a 4th cat again for as long as I live
Northwave winter boots. I have warm and dry feet plus I don't mangle a set of overshoes every three months on my commute.
Sealskinz lobster gloves. They take a bit of getting used to but I have warm hands at last!
An Exposure flare rear light, small, tough and really bright.
Entry to the Dartmoor Classic and the Fred Whitton 4 Seasons. The Classic was brilliantly organised and the Fred is just an incredible, epic day out on the bike.
Gore Phantom Windstopper jacket. Fabulously versatile bit of clothing. Snapped up as a bargain in Wiggle's sale
A big lock, as I moved from the sleepy (Ayr)Shire to Edinburgh!
Giro Factor shoes (in the sales) Dead comfy.
Or a 2010 Spesh Element jacket (also in sale!) very toasty and very well made.
Or one of the Sufferfest vids which are currnely making turbo sessions more bearable.
