Football fans are build different. Sure, they sit outside in typically freezing weather for about four hours while they watch their team play. But they also go stakeout the stadium for another couple of hours prior to tailgate. And if they aren't physically at the game, they are camped out at a bar for nearly half the day of games, constantly checking their fantasy team's stats, and locked in on all the scores whether it's college or NFL game day. Yeah, football fans are something else.
So let's talk about getting a gift for this specific breed of human. The most important thing to remember is that it's all about celebrating their love of the game. You can go the nostalgic route, finding a present that reminds them of their college days like a cornhole set featuring their school team or collegiate cooler. Or you can opt for something that shows their support for their professional team, like a brand new jersey or custom mug. Whoever it's for—your brother, father, partner, uncle—you're about to impress them with a gift that's a surefire success.
With football season afoot, there's no better time than now to start searching for the perfect present. We've found the 30 best gifts for football fans that are going to score major points this holiday season. It's a gifting game over.
