Are you looking for sports equipment products to give away? Does your friend, family member or neighbor have a favorite team? This will give you great ideas and let you know which items are appropriate for the 3 categories of sports team fans.

There are so many people in the world today who follow a certain team (or teams). How much and how often they follow you… that is the question! We can categorize these people into let’s say… three groups.

1. The FANS – These are die-hard fans! They usually went to this school or lived in this particular “hometown”. They ABSOLUTELY LOVE their favorite team. You see the flags hanging on their houses, mounted on the back window of their cars, they don’t have “normal decorations” in their house… It’s covered with “Team Memorabilia” hanging on the walls… The signed jerseys, the helmets football, plates, etc.

2. THE SEASON TICKET HOLDERS – These people usually turned out to be fans because they live in the “hometown”. They keep track of records, usually attend “reasonable games”. Home games, those in the next state or 2. They sport the “team sticker” on their vehicle.

3. THE “LET’S WATCH THE GAME”- These guys are fans from time to time. When the team is doing well, they follow it. When an important party arrives, they gather their friends (more than an excuse for a party). They can go out and buy cute sports flags to show support etc. But you won’t find these guys traveling 12 hours to get to a game across the country!

So now that we’ve determined the “groups,” we can move on to gift-giving! Fans are usually tough, because they almost always have every item imaginable! They have the tall team flags, they have the mailbox covers, the banner flags, etc. You have to find the most unique items possible for them to really work. Things like logo salt and pepper shakers or team logo bottle openers. They even have things like barbecue sets with team logos on the handles and they come in a cute carrying case. Thing to remember… SINGLE, they already have all the rest.

Season ticket holders usually have some normal team merchandise to show their support. Like regular flags or yard pennant. Find these things as Logo Coffee Mugs. They have some pretty unique ones. Find diamond plate stainless steel designs, insulated coffee mugs, the insulated ones are really cool because they look good AND are really useful. Also find normal and fresh coffee cups. Get a 2 tone mug, the actual mug is half one color and half the other…and it comes with a 2″ fused logo. They look amazing and unique. Also try things like key chains, they’re cute, and They’re not a huge distraction that looks ugly around the home, just a subtle little reminder of your gear, and it keeps you from losing your keys!* Something to remember… GREAT, not out of the box, but different*

Let’s Watch the Game fans are pretty fun, but don’t spend outrageous money on them, because if the team starts to lose…they won’t want a big reminder of that “favorite home team” starring them. in the face. Or, of course, if they move, they’ll start following a new team. TARGET! They’re the most fun bunch, because when they invite their friends over to watch the game, they’re going to want all the cute decorations! Get the high team flag. It is 11 feet tall and is perfect for standing next to the driveway in the front yard. Or the Mini Yard – Garden Flag is perfect for placing on a houseplant, or just outside your front door in the garden. The Logo salt and pepper shaker set is perfect for them too because it’s adorable when you want it for the party, but you can put it away when the season is over! They are very reasonably priced and make a very cute gift. Something to remember… PRICE, don’t spend a lot, find subtle gifts.

Now that we’ve done that, go out and shop! Remember that almost any holiday or occasion is perfect for sending sports team products as gifts. You already know that if they like that team, they will surely love any product with their logo! It’s always more unique too, it’s not like giving someone a shirt, or a new tie. Put thought into it and you will see!
