Before you even know it, that time of year has come around again in which you must find the perfect gift for a special someone in your life. Whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, or a Birthday, it seems like there is always an occasion to celebrate.
Thankfully, sports lovers are some of the easiest people to shop for. They have a known interest and, as long as you know what sport they’re into or what team they support, the possibilities are endless.
Nevertheless, we understand that sometimes it takes a while for those creative juices to start flowing. Therefore, we have created the ultimate gift guide to make it all the easier when shopping for the special sports lover in your life.
Tickets to The Next Game
What better present for a sports fan than tickets to the next game? Try to find out if they have any prior commitments before you buy a ticket to a game they can’t attend. If you’re feeling up for it, purchase two tickets so you can join them.
Tailgate Equipment
Some sports lovers are better as spectators than players, in which case tailgate equipment is a perfect gift. There are so many choices when it comes to tailgating gadgets, including grilling utensils, canopy tents, quad chairs, or even a fun bean bag toss game,
Sports Merchandise
A true sports fan can never have enough merch. Fans love parading their teams’ colours with pride, so why not spoil them with a basket full of goodies? You can opt for some Ohio state rose bowl shirts and throw in some extras like hats, bedsheets, and even underwear.
Cameo Video
Some athletes offer their fans the chance to receive a personalised video message. Simply browse on a site like Cameo and see if your loved one’s favourite athlete has a profile. You then pay a fee and send over a loosely based script for the celebrity to create their message with.
Sports Memorabilia
Another fun way to incorporate sports into your loved one’s celebration is by purchasing some unique memorabilia. This can be something like a signed sports shirt, baseball, or even an autographed photograph.
Equipment or Lessons
Perhaps your friend or family member is an avid sportsman, and they want to learn a new hobby. If you live near a skiing destination, we suggest some skis and goggles, or even some activewear. Adversely, you can purchase a voucher for a few lessons.
Autobiography
If your loved one is the literary type, we suggest an autobiography of their favourite sportsperson. These can provide great insight into the life of athletes, and they also make for the perfect summer read.
Before you get carried away, make sure that they’re still a fan of this sport or team. Some of the items on this list can be extremely expensive and many times they don’t come with a great returns policy. Ask around to make sure your loved one is still a fan before you commit to the purchase.
