When purchasing gifts for someone it is always a good idea to pick something original that the gift recipient would have never thought of, but will still love. Anyone can buy a NFL team sweatshirt, a jersey, or officially licensed baseball cap. So where do you go to find something original that even the most dedicated sports fan doesn't have yet? Here are some suggestions for you.
Fathead (fathead.com)- You've seen the commercials and heard about them, but many sports fans either won't shell out $100, or simply haven't gone on the website to purchase one. These life size sports posters are a great gift idea and will be loved by every sports fan. The best thing about them is that you can move them from wall to wall without using tape, hooks, nails, etc. The "fatheads" come in team helmets, NASCAR stock cars, and of course life size photos or professional athletes.
Sports Ticket Stubs (Stubs4Sale.com, EBay, etc.)- What would be a better gift for your sports loving friend then a ticket from a big game? As a Detroit Tigers fan I have my own personal collection of World Series tickets and programs that I wouldn't give up for the world. Stubs4sale.com has World Series Programs, World Series Tickets, and many other tickets and items that sports fan may be unaware of. Some tickets and programs even to major events can be purchased for under $30. If you decide to go with this gift then see below for a must addition to it.
Sports memorabilia displays (Thatsmyticket.com) - If something is worth collecting it is worth displaying and protecting. Thatsmyticket.com has displays, holders, and much more. One of my favorite products is the MLB team ticket albums. Each album is very inexpensive at around $13 and has a MLB logo on the front. The pages contain sleeves so you can display all of the ticket stubs from sporting events you have attended. There are many inexpensive displays like the ticket bricks that are cheap, simple, and display well in any room. One last product that they are known for are blown up ticket stubs from major events such as the World Series, these are huge and a very fun and unique gift.
Dog Team Apparel- What better way to show someone you care than buying a Chicago Cubs dog collar or an NFL jersey for a puppy? MVPDogs.com has a nice selection of licensed apparel for dogs. Leashes, collars, chew toys; they have it all for dogs. Where else can you find a Dale Earnhardt Jr. dog water bowl? This is a very unique and odd choice that will definitely be remembered by the recipient. Most jersey items are priced at $29.99.
Aqua Golf- Who doesn't have a friend who is obsessed with golf? Aqua Golf is a piece of floating turf that can be placed in the middle of a pool to work on your short game. An odd but very creative idea would make an extremely unique and unforgettable gift. These will run you around $60.
The Bumper Dumper- This is my personal favorite unique sports fan gift. The product is a toilet that can be hooked up to a trailer hitch of a vehicle. Visit BumperDumper.com to check these out. This would be a funny idea for the camper, tailgater, and hunter. Retails for $69.99
I hope these have been some helpful ideas and good luck in your Holiday shopping!
