A few weeks ago, one of my best friends found herself in quite the predicament when trying to come up with the perfect birthday present for her honey. You see, he happens to be a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, and already had more than enough shirts, jerseys, and other memorabilia. The one thing he didn't have? A frame to proudly flaunt his favorite jersey—and he was pleasantly surprised when he unwrapped it.
Hanging pennants, framing jerseys and posters, and displaying autographed footballs and helmets are all classic ways to show off your team spirit. Get even more fired up for football with these items:
Best seat in the house. Every wet bar, breakfast bar, and man cave needs bar stools with your favorite team's logo emblazoned across the seat. You can order them from Wal-Mart.com for $124.95 a pop, or, if you'd rather dress up existing stools on game day, you can find bar stool covers at Amazon.com for $24.95 each. If you'd rather kick back and lounge during the game, stock up on these collapsible video chairs from Sports Authority ($99.99), which fold in half for easy storage.
Cozy up. Chase chills away with a throw in your team's colors, such as this loom-woven jacquard blanket from Fan's Edge ($38.99) that's just as decorative and spirited as it is functional. If you're lucky enough to score tickets to see your favorite team in action, use it to warm up in the stands.
What's cookin'. The next time you're whipping up wings and other goodies for the big game, avoid getting sauce all over your game-day gear by wearing an apron covered in your team's logo. Being a big Green Bay Packers fan myself, I can't help but be a fan of this BBQ apron from Etsy ($15.00).
Spirited snacks. Serve game-day munchies in style with this helmet snack container ($54.99) from Fan's Edge. There's a large container in the helmet as well as a small tray with two compartments in the face mask. Or arrange snacks and drinks on this melamine serving tray ($24.99) from Sky Mall.
Paws applause. Let Fido in on the football fun by getting your paws on a jersey made especially for him. DoggieNation sells them in four sizes for $29.99. You can also get team T-shirts for $19.95 a pop.
Until next time,
