Christmas is almost here, and with the year-end and New Year holidays fast approaching, we’re wasting no time in showcasing a curated selection of recommended items for gifts from Circles!
MSW Kids Water Bottle and Cage Kit
First off, with Christmas right around the corner, we have some recommended items for kids!
From the American brand MSW comes this cute kid’s water bottle and cage set—the kind of thing you’ve always wanted but could never quite find. The bottle cage is compatible with standard 22.2mm flat bar handle diameters, so it can be mounted directly onto a kid’s bike handlebar, making it easy for their small hands to stay hydrated.

MSW Squeeze Horns
Also from MSW, these squeeze horns—which make that classic honking sound—come in a fantastic lineup of mythical and rare creatures, perfect for dressing up the handlebars of your child’s bike. With their overwhelming presence, they’ll help support your child’s safe riding!

RAL Tabby Long
The new Tabby Long tabi-style socks from the familiar RAL brand feature a longer length than the traditional Tabby model. Based on wool for superior heat retention, moisture absorption, and odor resistance, they are blended with acrylic and polyester yarns to maximize durability and quick-drying performance. This makes them perfect not only for cycling but for various activities like running and trekking. Of course, they’re also great for everyday wear. Don’t forget to pick up a pair for yourself and as a gift! (lol)

SIMWORKS John Cage
The John Cage, the original bottle cage that SimWorks has finally brought to life, is definitely an item that would make any cyclist happy! Born from a desire to break free from the fixed concept of a typical bottle cage, this somewhat eccentric mushroom-shaped cage is made of durable, domestically produced stainless steel. It offers a choice of two mounting positions, making it easy to use alongside a frame bag.

CIRCLES ORIGINAL Circles Spaceship Bottle
Are our concepts destined to fly away with Spaceship Earth? Is this illustration a reflection of that Circles-esque philosophy? Not even a little—we didn’t think that deeply about it! We just thought it would be wonderful and cute, and that’s enough, right!? And so, this silly and carefree bottle was born. It makes a great gift, and is a perfect Nagoya souvenir as well!

KNOG Blinder
If you’re shopping for someone who just bought a bike or is currently looking for one, a KNOG light is a great recommendation. Safety with style—"functional beauty" is the perfect term for these. They feature a large LED surface that can display various patterns, making nighttime rides both fun and safe!

SPURCYCLE Bell
This one is a bit more of an investment, but it’s an item that few people buy for themselves, making it a great gift. Made by America’s SPURCYCLE using precision-machined stainless steel combined with a brass hammer, this bell features a sleek design that defies its heavy-duty build, blending perfectly with your handlebars. It produces a beautiful tone that brings a sense of security to your daily rides. The included bands fit various handlebar sizes, making it compatible with any bike.

RAL Player Shirt Wool
Finally, for a special splurge of a gift for someone important, we recommend the Player Shirt Wool, released last week by RAL.
Completed with the cooperation of the Aichi-based brand holk, this shirt uses wool fabric carefully woven in the Bishu region—a famous wool-producing area near our hometown of Nagoya. With fine-tuned adjustments to the body width and armholes, and details like yoke height and darts, the shirt's pattern is designed for ease of movement, making you want to wear it every day, whether you’re riding, hiking, or just living your life.
This shirt features a back pocket, a hallmark of cycling apparel, which is incredibly convenient for storing items you access frequently, like your keys or smartphone. It’s plenty deep—easily holding a 500ml Nalgene bottle.
