Inexpensive Gifts for Tailgating Enthusiasts
Tailgating is a beloved activity for many sports fans all over the U.S. Whether it’s the chance to be around other fans, enjoying classic tailgating food or simply cheering on your favorite team in an enthusiastic crowd; tailgating can be fun for men, women and children alike. While some people think of tailgating as a fun event for an occasional tryst, others take their tailgating immensely seriously. When purchasing a gift for a tailgating enthusiast, even inexpensive gifts can mean the world to them.
Drink accessories
Besides tailgating food, drinks play a big part in the tailgating ritual. Purchasing fun decorative and functional drink accessories for the tailgating enthusiast in your life can help to add to their game-day décor.Chicago Bears Neoprene Bottle Jerseyis a stretchable koozie type product in the form of a team jersey. Keeping bottled drinks cold, creating a barrier between cold drinks and warm hands and maintaining some great team spirit; this is a great product for the minimal price of $5.99.
The Chicago Bears Navy Blue Drink Picks is $4.95 for a pack of six and feature team logos and colors while being more than just a decorative decal while tailgating. The picks are great for distinguishing which drink is yours, which comes in handy during tailgating events often filled with a sea of red plastic cups. The picks are also long and sturdy enough to be used as stirrers to ensure perfectly mixed cocktails.
A must-have drink accessory for tailgating is a keychain bottle opener featuring a favored team. The key chain portion of the bottle opener should come attached with an easy grip clip, like the ones for mountain climbing. This will keep the bottle opener handy without having to worry where you left it the whole day. The keychain part is more for handy clipping rather than actually holding keys because it’s not a good idea to keep keys lying around during tailgating, especially since it’s inevitable someone will borrow the bottle opener portion and the keys might be inexplicably lost. However, with a price tag of around $5, this handy little gift will undoubtedly be cherished and used year after year.
