What X\'mas gift to buy poker players?
Or, put it another way, what would you like to get as a poker player? It doesn't have to be limited to chips or cards or tables. It could be a special mouse you'd like for online poker, or a type of cigar you love to smoke during poker games.
Be as creative as possible! As long as it is somewhat related to poker or online poker I want to know. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

For years I've told friends/loved ones that I'd rather have dirt than a poker-related gift.

I know what you mean, sort of. Some of my friends know I love poker, so I get all these cheap poker sets for Christmas. I appreciate the thought, but come on, plastic chips? Grrrrr.
I'm not looking for just poker-related gifts. Think in terms of a broader category of anything that is related to the poker LIFESTYLE. Single-malt scotch, for example, is considered by some of my friends as an essential part of their poker experience. |

High quality p*ker books they don't already have. Beyond that, it's probably usually best to cater to their other interests.

Get him a 20.5 inch WUXGA monitor from Dell. The good news is he'll be able to fit all 4 tables on the screen with no overlap. The bad news is the price.

But it was still an outstanding choice. She was shopping at the mall and walked past a shirt that said POKER KING in relatively large letters. Just lame enough that it was pretty funny. Other than semi-funny things like that i'm not terribly interested in poker-related gifts. Only if it's the worst and lamest poker shirt or hat would I actually kind of enjoy it. Also - I'm looking at the Greg Raymer bobble-head doll that came in my PokerStars WSOP package. That's silly enough to qualify as a decent gift too. |
