Holiday Gift Ideas for the Bakersfield sports fan
It seems that every year the holiday season sneaks up on all of us. Before you know it, it will be time to start buying all those gifts for your family and friends. If you are like me, you sometimes just cannot figure out what to buy someone for the holidays. Being a sports fan myself I thought I might suggest a few gift ideas if you have a sports fan on your holiday shopping list. There are many sports-related gift ideas that they are sure to enjoy.
To help you out, here are some ideas for the Bakersfield sports fan on your list:
One great holiday gift idea is to give your favorite sports fan tickets to a sporting event. There are a number of choices for teams playing in Bakersfield during the winter months. The Bakersfield Condors, the Bakersfield Jam, and a variety of CSUB and BC athletics are in season. You can either purchase tickets for these events online at the individual team websites or stubhub.com, and at the venue box offices. Gift certificates are also available. The price range is $10-$50 for a pair of tickets. Either way, every sports fan enjoys going to a live sporting event to cheer on their favorite hometown team. What sports fan doesn’t like to eat and watch sports? So how about a gift certificate to their favorite Bakersfield sports bar or sports themed restaurant? Places like Kosmos, Woody’s, or Replay Sports Lounge, will let your sports fan enjoy both good food and a good game. It is almost like going to a live sporting event, except without having to deal with weather or parking conditions. Every sports fan will enjoy this holiday gift. The price range varies depending on your appetite.
So you are looking for the unique gift for your Bakersfield hockey fan. Skating or hockey lessons at Bakersfield Ice Sports Center are sure to get them into the action. Prices start at around $135 and up, and include skate rental and hockey gear.
An additional holiday gift idea is to give your sports fan some apparel for their favorite team. Whether you give them a Condors team jersey, Blaze Baseball hat, BC T-shirt, or CSUB sweatshirt, they are sure to love anything with the logo of their favorite Bakersfield team on it. If you are not sure what apparel they would like, you can always get them a bobble-head, stadium seat or team blanket. Either way, the sports fan in your family will be happy with these holiday gift ideas. These items can be purchased online from the team websites or at local campus stores and stadium shops. Prices can range from $20-$150.
If you need to purchase a gift for your racing fan, a gift certificate to Superkart Racing in Bakersfield could be your winner. The price ranges from $9 for an introductory session to $60 for a Grand Prix race.
Finally, if you have a golfer on your holiday shopping list, there are many great gift ideas to choose from. At Pro Shop Golf you can buy them balls, tees, a golf towel, or perhaps that new custom putter or sand wedge that they have been talking about from Golfcraft Custom Clubs. You can also get them a gift certificate to their favorite driving range, so they can log some extra practice hours. Or, you can even buy them a gift certificate for a round of golf at their favorite golf course. The price range is $50-$500, and there are many options when it comes to gifts for Bakersfield golfers.
Hopefully, these ideas will make it a little easier when it comes time to buy holiday gifts for the Bakersfield sports fan on your shopping list. Have a happy and healthy holiday this year,
