'Tis the season
Looking for a carbon fiber gift this holiday season? Here are a couple of ideas including a wallet-sized folding tripod.

Yesterday, CW editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan sent me a link to a cool gadgety thingy for a holiday gift idea that set the two us off on an end-of-day wild goose chase for carbon fiber gift ideas. Holiday earworms ran through my head as I searched for carbon fiber gadets, thingamabobs or, to quote the Grinch, any manner of tartinkers, jingtinglers, flufloopers, tartinkers, whohoovers and garginkers.

Anyway. What follows is a quick list of carbon fiber holiday gifts for those who know just how cool composites are, starting off with the Pocket Tripod that started CW’s mini-quest for the perfect gift. The credit card-sized folding tripod is pretty neat — compact and easy to carry and deploy with legs embedded with 3K twill carbon fiber and overmolded with plastic.

A few other ideas. Know someone concerned about the impact of drinking straws on the environment? The EnvironMATE Reusable Carbon Fiber Drinking Straw available at CarbonFiberGear.com might be just the thing to make their holiday beverage merry and bright. You can also find bottle openers, pens, a handsome straight razor with a carbon fiber handle, and even a carbon fiber fedora on the site.
Of course, you can always go for a nice wallet — after all someone might need a place to carry their carbon fiber tripod. After all, the holidays only come once a year.
