Top Gifts for Packer Fans

Dec. 14, 2008 - PRLog -- They're the most loyal in football but that doesn't mean Green Bay Packers fans are happy with anything you put inside pretty paper and a bow.  The good thing about finding gifts for Packer fans is that there are plenty of ideas out there which means you can be creative.  There is also one big, convenient place in which to find them all.

Pack Fanatics, a website devoted to the Green Bay Packers, brings a huge variety of Packers items to one central location through its association with eBay.  Rather than drift through hundreds of thousands of listings, PackFanatics.com (http://www.packfanatics.com) brings the focus on nothing but Packers tickets, Packers apparel, Packers fan gear, Packers yearbooks and programs from days gone by--even old Packers football cards.  

So what are some of the top gifts you can give a Packers fan and still call yourself creative?  The 2008 Packers season hasn't been much to write home about which means Packer tickets are reasonably priced.  You can even find season tickets on Pack Fanatics occasionally.  If you know a fan who hasn't been able to afford to go to a game, now's the time to set them up for their first trip to legendary Lambeau Field.  If you know of someone living a good distance a way who has always wanted to see a game, it's also a good time to buy Packers tickets.

Brett Favre may be long gone, but once his career is over, he'll be once again the toast of the town.  Brett Favre autographs on Packers jerseys and other memorabilia is at a very reasonable price now compared to a year ago.  If you know a Favre fan, something commemorating those great seasons in Green Bay is most appropriate.

On the other hand, the Packers' new leader, Aaron Rodgers has shown enough moxie this year to look like he'll have a lot of success before his career is over.  It's a good time to think about offering a Packers fan some hope for the future by buying Aaron Rodgers rookie cards.  In fact, there's a website that offers nothing but Rodgers cards and memorabilia (http://www.arod12.com).

If you're buying for a serious fan who appreciates Packers history and Packers memorabilia, giving them a Packer yearbook from the glory days of the 1960s is almost always a hit.  They're often priced at $75 and under.  Packers programs from the Lombardi era can still be had for less than $25 via PackFanatics.  

Why not try to piece together a lot of Packers football cards from players of the past?  Grab some of the Hall of Famers who've worn the green and gold and package them up with a stick of bubble gum to create a 'retro pack'.  Your long-time fan or collector will love you for it.

Packers apparel is always big, and you might consider a retro throwback football jersey of someone like Bart Starr, Paul Hornung or Ray Nitschke.  They really do make them and they're typically less than $200, sometimes much less.

And of course as one of the most storied franchises in pro sports, there is no shortage of Packers books on the market.  Many of them are beautifully illustrated with photos from the team's archives.  Chances are you'll find one that a Packers fan hasn't seen yet.   And there will be plenty of time before next season to catch up on their reading.
