Ok, let's see if I can be helpful here for you. 'Tis the season.
If you went with one of the solid colors and no add ons, the
Nimbo would be just right above your budget at $265. You would have to place the order in the next day or two to have any chance at all of me getting to you/her by Christmas. I'm serious, like 48 hours max to go/no-go.
Having said that, I do have another option that might work. A customer sent me her old headset to customize. I sent her a demo to use while I did it, and she just ended up buying one of ours. So, I have her used headset here that I had customized (I.e. repaired some broken parts, and put a pink paintjob on it.)
Here's where I'm at, I was going to just sell her used import headset on eBay for about $300 and it's ANR. It has absolutely no warranty, and it would be a no return, as is sale period.
If you don't mind a used pink import headset, I will give you this one to give to her. I don't want your money, I think it's pretty damned cool that a lady of her age rides motorcycles and goes flying. Consider it a gift from one PoA'er to another! I've attached a few photos, and you just message me with where you want it shipped and I'll get it out the door.
So now, you must make a choice...
