    Here are some items that he will really appreciate and I don't think have been mentioned yet:

    1) a really good soft shell jacket. As a runner or cyclist you have to stop the wind but allow all your hot sweat to evaporate so that you can maintain your heat. I think Gore Bike Wear is the best but Salomon's are pretty good too. You do NOT want the kind with Goretex or Event waterproofing (and both of these brands make them) because for highly aerobic activity even the best will eventually become like a trash bag.

    2) Merino wool; hat, gloves, socks, underwear, short sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, etc. This natural material is absolute magic and nothing else comes close to wicking away moisture and keeping you dry. SmartWool and Ibex are good brands here.

    3) A headlamp for night running. Petzyl, Fenix, Zebralight

    Update: I've just given him the cyclops Fluid 2 trainer. He LOVED it. Thank you all so much for your ideas, I might use some of them for Christmas!
