What X'mas gift to buy poker players?

[AnnieCruz86]

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.

[AnnieCruz86]

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.

Wear this for him, and nothing else.

Some friends are haveing a bday get together for me tomorrow night. The wife always make all my favorites.
The carne, tamales and sometimes chicharones (sp?).
I usually bring them something in return.
Picked up this little number about an hour ago.

You guys think I did good?

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.

if some chick got me poker stuff as a gift, it would be really lame and not a good choice at all.

get him something else.

My GF did get me a poker item as a gift last year.
I was DEFINITELY really lame.
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.
