Picking out a gift for that special someone can sometimes be harder than enjoying your next visit to the dentist and getting your tooth pulled. You may be that someone who really enjoys gift giving. Either way, sometimes finding that perfect gift can still be a challenge.
Finding out that special someone happens to be a poker player and you believe the options are limited right? Some cards at the magic shop and plastic chips will do, no? Now, if you have a hobby, then you'd understand that there are many cool things that people in your niche don't understand and poker is no different. If you search deep enough you'll find the options are limitless. Check out the following list of poker fans essentials and I'm sure you'll make that poker fan in your life very happy!
1. Washable Playing Cards
You can't play a game of cards without a deck of them, and actually the more of them you have the better! One unique twist on plain old cards are plastic ones. They can withstand the wear and tear of shuffling and have a long shelf life. Be on the look out for cards with vinyl, as they tend to be less durable. Did I mention they can be washed?
Plastic cards feel strange when you hold them? Authentic casino cards will do the trick then! These are the same cards issued by casinos so their feel is unparalleled. Not drilled or straight cut, just like that special someone wants them. They'll feel like an expert when dealing them out!
2. Poker Chips Sets
If you look around one will see there are plenty of chip variations but one should only pay attention to clay and clay composites. The others are ok but if you want the real deal then clay is the only way to go.
Many variations such as poker chips with metal inserts are available which can effect prices drastically. Paulson is one of the most well known brands in the industry and would be a good choice. There are also many special chips with branding of your favorite football teams for example.
3. Poker Table tops
Buying a dedicated poker table might be a bit extreme so knowing that the tabletops available right now are quite affordable and cool is a good thing. Before you look for one make sure to consider the amount of players one might have as there are variations to accommodate as many as 10 players.
If you want smoother action during play then buy a tabletop with segmented centers. Plush padding can be great when playing for long periods of time and why not add some cup holders while you're at it! At minimum, make sure that your tabletop has a vinyl bottom to protect your regular table.
The ability to be folded and stored away is an important deciding factor of which tabletop to choose. Pay attention to the felt quality as cheaper versions will quickly show signs of wear. Did I mention you can get the felt to be custom printed to have your own logos?
4. Poker Carrying Case
Poker players love nice cases, especially if they have frequent games at their friends homes. The intricate details available on wood cases make them very popular, however aluminum cases come with durability that wood can't match. Many cases have an option for a telescopic handle for easier mobility.
Look out for the quality of the interior. Padding varies from each manufacturer. The availability of racks and cases within the case are also a compelling reason to consider this, not to mention it keeps the poker area neat.
5. Dealer Button
One would never think a simple thing like a button can make a difference. Having a unique dealer button helps you stand out especially if you have a button with a built-in tournament blind timer! This combines two essential elements of tournament play,the ability to be safely passed as a dealer button while simultaneously keeping the blind times at your fingertips.
6. Card Shufflers
Looking to impress someone? How about getting a professional card shuffler which will make you feel like you're in a real casino! Usually battery operated and constructed in wood or plastic, a shuffler can ease the strain of game play while simultaneously protecting anyone from being accused of cheating. The value of that alone is priceless.
Varieties come in two and four decks arrangements. The ultimate version is the shoe which boasts a heavy steel roller which has smooth action. You know you'd like one.
The above list might have got you to think of some interesting combination's. Try mix and matching the ideas for that ultimate present. Whatever you decide, that person will be very lucky.
And now hopefully you've gotten some great gift ideas.
