Definitely been there (flats commuting in the rain / not the ultra-tight
schedule).
They're dead to ride but when I commuted long distances in communities that
think the bike lane/shoulder is a good place to store broken glass and
industrial staples I ran Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires.
Shorter commutes now but getting stuck out changing flats in the rain still
sucks so I've been running tubeless with good results. I know a couple
hardcore year-rounders running Stan's in their tubes who swear by it.
So yeah, personally I'd be asking Santa for some mean rubber and a frame pump.
It has been pointed out that I did ask for other ideas under $100 though, so I
do apologize for my short initial response. I hope Santa brings you a good CO2
inflator and some mean rubber.
