Great Gift Ideas for the Sports Guy on Your Christmas List

October 20, 2016 by Traci

December 25th might seem far away, but Christmas and the holiday season will be here before you know it! If you’re looking for fantastic gift ideas for a sports lover on your list, you’ll find the right idea here, no matter their age or sport of choice. If he lives and breathes for all things sports related, finding a fantastic present has never been easier. Use this awesome gift list and get something great for the sports buff you love.

Head Online For Super Sports Gear

Whether the guy in question is still in his youthful prime and playing on a sports team or he’s all grown up but still hitting the field in a rec or intramural league, instead of running out to your local department store or hitting up Big 5, head online. Because you’re getting a head start on your holiday shopping, you can have anything your heart desires shipped to your door in plenty of time. If you’re looking for some great basketball gear for the hoop star, check out some Air Jordans that will have him leaping and bounding across the court. Maybe you’re on the hunt for something for a baseball lover; browse from a selection of first base gloves or baseball bats and outfit him properly for the next inning. There’s no limit to the sports equipment and gear you can find on the big, bad worldwide web, and you won’t find better prices in local stores.

Attend a Sporting Event

What could be better for the sports fan than experiencing the thrill of the game? Buy the sports obsessed guy on your list a pair of tickets to a local sporting event, or shell out big bucks and provide tickets and transportation to his favorite team. You can go with him or give him the extra ticket to invite someone who’ll really appreciate the experience. Be forewarned: you’re sure to hear whoops of excitement when he opens this gift. If you’re looking for a deal on sporting event tickets, check out Stubhub.com for resale options that are often much cheaper than original prices.

Decorate His Viewing Room

Does the fella in question have a room dedicated to his sports passions? It could be a den where he watches all his games, a den where he displays all of his trophies from an illustrious sports career (even if that career never made it out of high school), or even the garage where he screens games on a projector screen with his buddies. Find some awesome sports decorations to outfit his space to make it even more reflective of his passion. That could mean having his old jerseys displayed in a personalized shadowbox or having personalized signs made with his team’s favorite colors. 

Some Backyard Fun

So he never went pro in baseball or got to run the ball in the NFL, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a competitive streak. Combine his love of competition with his passion for sports by having a special backyard game made on VictoryTailgate.com. You can have a corn hole set painted with his favorite team’s colors and add his name in bold letters.

If He’s Into the Outdoors

It’s true, not all sports lovers also dig spending time outdoors, but by and large, these two factions of fellow tend to intersect. If the guy in question is constantly looking for reasons to get in the great outdoors and counts a tent as one of his favorite and most frequented abodes, you can’t go wrong with some camping gear. Want to take your gift idea a step further? Plan the ultimate camping trip and keep it a surprise as long as possible. Pack up the car with all the essentials and surprise him on a future weekend, or provide everything he needs to up the ante on his camping efforts, whether that be a new pack from Osprey or a new portable griller for delicious meals under the open skies.

Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, a gentle b Blushing with your delicate, rosy hue, 
a gentle breeze blows through fresh, new blooms.
Your time is fleeting, yet faithful,
a promise of beauty each spring.

Gifting petals that fall to the earth,
You are waiting for me to visit you.
Basking beneath warm shadows,
Deeply breathing in nature’s favorite perfume. 

A legacy of faithful promise,
Graceful, elegant, familiar and kind.
As the sun streams through branches,
Your reflection twinkles and twirls, 
Leaving your dance card upon my heart.

You whisper, come linger a little longer,
No need to be in such a rush.
Through storm clouds, torrential rain, 
and those picture perfect days,
You continue your steady climb toward the heavens.

Your limbs grow stronger, your roots deeper still.
Your humble beauty speaks for itself. 
No need to shout, nor beg for attention.
You hold the secrets of many who return year after year,
Who sit beneath your branches,
and find healing to bloom as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

Don’t trade God’s perfect timing for impatient substitutes. 

The counterfeit isn’t anything compared to the real deal. 

Surrender brings peace, joy, and rest. 

So trust fully to His perfect plan for your life. 

No more rushing ahead. 
No more backseat driving. 
No more comparing.
No more striving. 

Lay down the endless coveting of an illusion of perfection. 

He’s everything you’re longing for, 
striving after, and so much more. 

Open your hands and release your grip. 
Now you’re ready to receive His good 
and precious blessings.
In a time with so many voices, opinions and commen In a time with so many voices, opinions and commentaries, we can get overwhelmed by the noise. 

What should we believe?
What should we say?
Who's side are we on?

You can never go wrong with running to the feet of Jesus.  Get alone with God today, open His Word, and hear the words that matter above all else.

Fix your eyes on His ways 
Praise Him with an upright heart 
Guard His Word 
Hide His Word in your heart 
Be Teachable 
Declare His ways with your mouth 
Meditate on His precepts 
Delight in God's statues
Ask to have your eyes open 
Ask for understanding and wisdom 
Find your strength in His Word 
Choose the way of faithfulness 
Set His ways before you 
Turn your eyes from worthless things 
Trust in His Word above all else 
Find comfort in His promises 
Make God's ways your heart's song 
Be friends with those who fear God

Daily put His promises to the test 
Peace is given to those who love His law
This world will offer you information, but true kn This world will offer you information, but true knowledge comes from God and His Word.  What are we filing our minds and hearts with? What we meditate on, will consume us and change us.  Let's makes sure we are being filled with truth.  Read Proverbs 2 today.  Look at all we gain from seeking after the knowledge of His Word :

Receive 
Treasure 
Listen 
Be Attentive 
Incline Your Heart 
Call out for insight 
Raise your voice for understanding 
Seek & Search 

-> then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God, righteousness and justice.

He is my shield 
He gives me abundant wisdom 
He guards my path and watches over me 
Wisdom will come in my heart 
Knowledge will be pleasant to my soul 
Discretion will watch over me 
Understanding will guard me 
Keeps me walking on the paths of righteousness
