Perfect 50th Birthday Presents For The Sports Fan

Need an idea for a 50th birthday present? Well, if the birthday girl or guy is a sports fanatic, I’ve got some great ideas for you. Why settle for buying the same old stuff when a sports-themed gift will show that lucky 50-to-be just how much you care? When it comes to ideas for perfect gifts for sports fans, there are plenty of ideas to choose from. Follows are just a few “fan”tastic ideas for you to consider.

Autographed Memorabilia

Every sports nut loves getting a ball, card, or any item autographed by their favorite hero. Luckily these items are pretty easy to find on eBay or in hobby shops around the country. There are also websites that specialize in autographed memorabilia. The prices vary depending on the rarity and condition of the item but you should be able to find something to fit every budget.

Sports-Themed Gift Basket

Gift baskets aren’t just for women anymore! Men and ladies alike will enjoy a gift basket filled with items representing their favorite sport or game. One idea for a baseball basket could contain a baseball (autographed or not), a baseball coffee mug, a couple of favorite player’s baseball cards (rookie cards are usually the most wanted), and maybe a couple of tickets for a game in the future. You can substitute items for any sport, hunting, fishing or even games such as bridge. This custom and personal gift is guaranteed to be a big hit at any birthday bash!

Monogrammed Or Personalized Balls

Inexpensive yet very personal presents, monogrammed balls provide a sense of pride every time the birthday guy or gal plays their sport in the future. You can find companies online that are willing to put initials on just about any type of ball. Other sports-related items, such as bats, shoes, and gloves can also be monogrammed. Personalized sports items are imprinted with a logo or motto, something other than initials. It may be harder to find a company doing personalized than monogrammed but those golf balls with the “Chin Up!” motto on them are well worth it.

Sports Scene Shadowbox

Shadowboxes are customized similar to gift baskets. However, the items in the shadowbox remain in the shadowbox and are displayed usually on a wall or thin shelf. Most of the time when creating a shadowbox, miniature items are used to create a scene relating to the theme. For example, for a fishing shadowbox, you may have a little boat on a little imitation pond with a couple of people fishing as the imitation sun comes up in the background. Shadowboxes are mostly used to give the owner a sense of nostalgia or escape from reality.

These are just a few ways to celebrate the sport of choice with 50th birthday presents. With a little imagination and some research, there are endless options for the sports fan’s big day!
