Best Gifts for Fans of the New York Football Giants

The New York Giants have entered the Eli Manning era and they once again seem destined for greatness. After winning the NFC East last season but losing to the Carolina Panthers in spectacular fashion in the first round of the Playoffs, the New York Giants are hungry, especially veterans like Tiki Barber, Amani Toomer and Michael Strahan. Whether that hunger will culminate in a Super Bowl championship this season remains to be seen, but one thing is certain. It is a proud time to be a fan of the New York Giants. So, when you are doing your holiday shopping this season, consider giving your favorite New York Giants fan something that will help display some Big Blue team spirit.

One of the best holiday gifts for fans of the New York Giants this season is an authentic NFL Reebok jersey. Generally priced at approximately $200, authentic game jerseys meet the exact specifications as those worn by the pros. They feature the embroidered Reebok logos on both sleeves, the embroidered NFL shield on the front neck, embroidered team logo patches, and the embroidered name and numbers of your football fan's favorite player. Whether that player is Giants' tight end Jeremy Shockey, running back Tiki Barber, or quarterback Eli Manning, an authentic game jersey will make your favorite football fan feel like he or she is part of the game. Giants jerseys generally come in home blue or road white, as well as red. You can also find throwback jerseys from another great Giants era, celebrating players like legendary linebacker Lawrence Taylor and quarterback Phil Simms, who led the Giants to a Superbowl victory against the Denver Broncos. Beware imitation or replica jerseys. These are of poor quality and are usually priced between $50 and $100. You can find the authentic NFL Reebok jerseys at www.sidelinemvp.com and other online retailers, or visit your local sports memorabilia retail store.

Many would argue that Lawrence Taylor, the Giants fearsome linebacker from the eighties, was the best player ever to play the game of football. The original L.T. intimidated offensive lines and opposing quarterbacks like no other football player in history. That's why another great gift for fans of the New York Giants this holiday season is a piece of sports memorabilia autographed by this defensive legend. At online retailers such as www.sportsfanoutlet.com, you can find autographed items from reputable companies like Mounted Memories, featuring your football fan's favorite stars. Items graced with Lawrence Taylor's John Hancock include footballs, mini replica helmets, photographs and posters. Any item featuring a football star's autograph should include a Certificate of Authenticity. Prices vary depending on the item signed.

Another terrific holiday gift for fans of the New York Giants is a Giants Dartboard Cabinet with Dartboard and NFL Darts. This is perfect for either a bachelor or a family man with a spare room. Priced at $129.99, your football fan can show support for his or her favorite team while enjoying dart games like Cricket, 301 or Baseball in the comfort of his or her own home. This item is also available from www.sportsfanoutlet.com.

Great stocking stuffers for fans of the New York Football Giants include beer steins, shotglasses, mugs, and wastebaskets featuring the New York Giants logo. Other clothing apparel like sweatshirts, tee shirts, sweatpants, and hats are also available online or in local sports stores. Unique gift ideas also include license plate holders, clocks, lamps, pillows, watches, luggage and ties. But before you go out and purchase your favorite football fan's New York Giants items for the house, just make sure his or her significant other is not a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.
