Choosing an awesome gift for your favorite sports fan can be a challenge.
If they're like most fans, they already have dozens of t-shirts, hats, and other popular gear plastered with their team's logo. While they will always appreciate more, there are plenty of other gifts that will not only be appreciated but also loved and enjoyed for years to come.
From jerseys to memorabilia and everything in between, we've compiled a list of some of the best gifts out there.
Keep reading to start searching for the perfect gift for every sports fan in your life!
1. Custom Jersey
If you're looking for a unique gift that every sports fan is guaranteed to love, look no further.
Regardless of what their favorite sport is or which team they root for, you can't go wrong with a jersey.
Old jerseys can be expensive, worn out, and easily rip or tear if worn. But when you choose a custom throwback, your sports enthusiast will get a jersey that not only looks great but can actually be worn!
Got a sports fanatic in your life who claims loyalty to many different sports and teams, or loves sports but not any particular team? You can't go wrong with a classic Boston Red Sox jersey or an Olympic hockey sweater.
2. Game Tickets
Whether you're pressed for time to choose a gift or you're shopping for the person who has everything, you can't go wrong with tickets to a game.
If you're a fan of the same team that your gift recipient loves, this gift is a win-win for you as well. Buy yourself a ticket and you'll get to enjoy the game alongside your friend or loved one, giving you both a memory that will last far longer than any gift.
3. Signed Memorabilia
If you're looking for a truly special gift and have some money to spend, you can't go wrong with signed memorabilia.
From game-used balls to autographed trading cards, photos, and more, there are countless options to choose from.
Buying authentic memorabilia at the right price can be a challenge if you aren't a big sports fan yourself. If you don't have experience buying memorabilia, do some research before you start shopping to avoid getting scammed.
4. Art Prints
Signed memorabilia can make great home decor for the sports enthusiast. But if you're looking for a more affordable, but equally great-looking gift, art prints are another great choice.
Handmade art prints range from artistic takes on team logos to colorful portraits of players. These come in a variety of colors, sizes, and costs, making it easy to choose the perfect print for any sports fan in your life.
5. A Good Read
If you know a sports enthusiast who loves getting to know a player's personality or a coach's strategy, a book can be a great gift.
Sports books range from biographies of players to in-depth looks at the history of teams, major sporting events, and more.
Other sports-related gifts don't do much besides look great on a wall. But a good book can be read and enjoyed over and over again and can help your sports fanatic learn more about their favorite sport, team, or player.
6. Branded Kitchen Appliances
If you're looking for a gift that your friend, boyfriend, or other gift-recipient can use while also expressing their pride for their team, why not consider a branded kitchen appliance?
You can choose from everything from Crockpots to toaster and sandwich grills. They come plastered with team colors and logos. Some even grill or toast team logos right onto the food you're cooking!
These make for gifts that are as fun to give as they are to use.
7. Sweet Kicks
Does the sports fan in your life enjoy playing sports as much as they do watching them? Consider buying them a sweet pair of kicks that they can shoot hoops, kick goals, or play catch in.
Choose from athletic shoes designed for tackling any sport to styles that are more designed to show off team pride than for actual playing.
8. A Tailgating Cookbook
If the fan in your life loves to tailgate, a cookbook can be the perfect gift.
They'll enjoy browsing recipes to make before the next big game. And if you tailgate with them, you'll get to enjoy this gift as well with every tasty snack they grill up.
9. Toilet Golf
Gag gifts are always a hit. And with the wide variety of sports-themed gag gifts available, they are especially popular among fans.
Toilet golf is one fun choice. This comical gift features a mini green that goes right on the bathroom floor and a mini putter designed to be used while you're sitting on the john. Your friend can practice their putting to pass the time.
10. A Season Survival Kit
If you can't choose from the awesome gifts on this list, why not buy an assortment of items and package them together into a season survival kit?
You can include a jersey for wearing to games, a cookbook for some pre-game tailgating, and even some snacks for enjoying while watching their favorite team on the big screen rather than in person.
Tickets to a game are also a great addition to any season survival kit, especially if you have the other ticket and get to enjoy the game with your friend or significant other!
