For the next 4 Mondays, the LMS crew is putting together their Wish Lists for The Big Day.
While some of these ideas might be classified in the “Dream On!” realm there will be plenty of things that are more rooted in reality!
Nov 30: Jen brings out the handmade, artistic side of the LMS athlete
Dec 7: Amanda & Cliff join up for a He Wants/She Wants
Dec 14: TJ – expect some cutting edge Bike Gear!
Dec 21: Tom – be ready to max out that card!
We hope you’ll find something for that sometimes hard-to-buy-for MultiSport Athlete on your list!
. . .
As a working artist I’m always keen on supporting the struggling artists out there (trust me – we’re ALL strugggling!) and what better way of combining two passions, I did a search on etsy – purveyor of all that is Independently Handmade – and came up with a plethora of handmade ideas that are sure to please someone on your list, all are under US$50.!

I hope you’ve found something that will tickle your MultiSport Athlete’s fancy. And remember, support living artists – the dead one’s don’t need your money!
