| | | Gift Ideas for the Poker Player
Seeing how the holidays are quickly approaching, thought it might be useful for the forum to post some links to some interesting, unusual or unique gifts for the poker player. We all know that good quality chips would make an excellent gift, but most of our significant others don't know much about buying something like that. So, the next best thing is to buy a gift that is related to poker.
Thought I'd toss out a gift idea that I found on another site today. Its a unique deck of cards that doubles as a set of flash cards testing the players knowledge and strategy at poker. http://www.pokerflashcards.com/
It's different and probably has some limited value for the budding young poker player. And who knows, may be a good source of humor as well. |

If anyone was looking for something to get me, I could use a 1000 piece Dunes or Crystal Park set. I reciprocate, I
ve got plenty of 300 piece dice chips ready to roll out, if you could just pay the 49.99 shipping....

Something simple i guess would be to give them a poker chip keyring...
you an just drill a hole in one of the "sample chips" and then slip in a keyring....and walah.....(or just buy that keyring they sell for 2.99 or something).....
also, you can buy some "lucky charm" (like a glass elephant that my furniture salesman just gave me over the weekend) and glue that on top of a chip for a card protector for a loved one who is superstitious about animalities and other nonsensical items....
also, you can get strip poker cards for the wifey...so you get some action....
those were random, sorry

Actually, some chocolate poker chips would be nice: http://www.gocandy.com/p-casinochips.html
I used to have some samples of those, but I ate 'em. Maybe I should get some more, and do a review, hmmm?
