So you know a curler and you want to get them a gift, or you're a curler and want some items for your wishlist. Here are some ideas:
1. Books. My personal favorite gameplay books are Curl to Win by Russ Howard and Curling Secrets by Colleen Jones. Fit to Curl by John Morris is great for the fitness types. Curling, Etcetera
by Bob Weeks is great for the trivia buffs.
2. Clothing. Loudmouth pants
(the pants worn by the Norwegian men's curling team) are still popular here in St. Paul, so that trend might continue another year. There are many t-shirts out there, but this one is the cutest. (Future post idea: Top 5 curling shirts) I'm sure you were wondering about this, but they do make curling themed underwear as well.
3. Equipment. I could suggest lots of equipment, but I think it's better if a curler just adds exactly what they want to their wishlist. If you really want to spend the money, I'm guessing you'd make a curler feel really special if you got them a carbon fiber broom (here's one option). Broom bags are reasonably priced gifts, but I would suggest it only for someone that goes to bonspiels. I normally wouldn't suggest a broom head has a gift, but this one is good for a skip (credit to nohocurling for posting that).
4. Games. There's a new card game called Hurry Hard. (No idea if it's fun.) On the Button Gifts has some nice curling themed games as well.
5. Other. There's curling jewelry and glasses and paperweights and all sorts of other stuff. Here's a good collection of mostly glassware and here's probably the most random selection of curling themed items.
Any other ideas for curling themed gifts? Let me know.
