Every family has that one person who is always so hard to buy gifts for. Either they already seem to have everything they want, or you just aren’t into the same things they are, making it difficult to choose something they’d appreciate. Whether it’s early Christmas gifts you’re shopping for or a birthday that is about to roll around again, what can you get for a sports fan when sports aren’t really something you follow? If you are trying to find the perfect gift for a sports fan, these top 5 fashionable gifts would be a welcome addition to the wardrobes of even the most discerning sports enthusiast.
Sweats Are Back
Some sports-aholics actually don’t have a favourite sport but rather enjoy all major sports from baseball to basketball and everything in between. The one gift you can give a sports fan of any kind, no matter what their game, would be trendy sweats. These are back with a bang for fall 2016 so you can find really high-quality sets almost anywhere. Pants alone aren’t enough so don’t forget that zippered jacket that is the major player in the sweats comeback this year. Sweats are back but even more trendy would be those track suits that were so popular just a decade or two ago.
Trendy Sports Watches
There are a number of popular watches to choose from that would appeal to a sports fan but why not shop brands like Nixon that were designed specifically for the sports enthusiast? Trendy watches are always a nice gift and if you can get sports watches on sale, so much the better. Most licensed sports watches are released through designer brands, so you will want to watch for sales, but once you’ve found the right watch at the right price, you have the perfect gift that will be treasured for years to come.
Team Sweaters and Jackets
As the summer comes to a close and fall is rapidly approaching, the days get shorter and cooler making it the perfect weather for a team sweater or jacket. These often can be found on team websites as most have a ‘fan store’ where you can shop, but you can also find them at many sporting apparel stores as well, and even design your own, if your special someone has their own amateur team! Many are being fashioned like the old-time Letter jackets worn by jocks in high school and college so don’t be surprised if shopping for a team jacket brings along a bit of déjà vu.
Custom Printed Apparel and Sports Shoes
One of the most innovative gifts for a sports fan would be anything that is custom printed. Perhaps the neatest gift on the market right now would be custom printed basketball shoes. These can be found from manufacturers like Converse and Nike and not only have the identifiable manufacturer’s logo like the Nike check but also a team logo that identifies their favourite team with just a quick glance. What a way to support your team!
The one thing you may want to do before buying or ordering a fashionable gift for the sports fan in your life would be to make absolutely sure you have the correct size. Nothing is worse than giving a gift that doesn’t fit – especially when it is something they’d be proud to wear to support their favorite team. Any one of these top five fashionable gifts for sports fans would be just the thing for someone who’s always so hard to buy for.
So, get with the spirit – Go Team!
