Yep. The holidays are still approaching. It's not too late to be ahead of the game and reduce your stress as the days count down to whatever gift-giving holiday you celebrate. We've got some more good ideas for you - this week we're placing the emphasis on smaller, awesome things. Some of them cost less than a tall boy of your favourite craft beer, so you could buy one for each of your regular riding buddies and sprinkle them about on your next group ride.

It's only week 3 of the Gift Guide but you've probably been hearing about Black Friday since Labour Day. We hope you're spending more time playing with your toys than you are shopping for new ones, but as usual, we've got a few ideas for you or the mountain biker in your life. And in case you missed them, here are links to Gift Guides from the last two weeks:Week 1Week 2 Stanley The Milestones Party Flask | 5 oz.

Founded in 1913 by William Stanley Jr., Stanley has been there for generations of adventures. Over 100 years later, whether it's your morning coffee or a #flaskfriday ride, Stanley is still keeping your warms warm and your colds cold. On the left, the Carter I've carried for two years. On the right, a newer Carter XL. Same VG10 steel in a drop point shape and slide lock mechanism, just in two different sizes: total lengths are 16.7 and 19.8 cms.

Who wouldn't want a fresh set of Minions? Maxxis have been a great partner (they make Pistons & Pivots possible, after all) and until the end of November, all MTB tires are 20% off (US only). Don't be alarmed - you still have plenty of time. It's just that we love being prepared, and wading through the options is a lot of fun. Haven't made your list yet? Now's the time. List of one? Treat yo'self. It's only week one - there's plenty more left. This week, a few very different options.

Misguided PreconceptionsWe all have feelings about most everything we are made aware of, but haven't been in contact with, before that contact occurs. These feelings can be rational or irrational but often they simply operate in the background. As a species, we constantly evaluate and assess whatever we encounter as positive or negative or of no consequence, and the primitive observational tools we use, often mislead us.
