Choosing a gift for the gentleman in your life can be tricky at the best of times, however the good news is that when he's a sports fan, you are sure to be able to find something that he will love. There are lots of great ideas for sports guys, from sporting memorabilia and equipment to themed gifts that reflect his favourite hobby. If an important anniversary or birthday is on the horizon and you are looking for inspiration for the perfect present, here are some fantastic suggestions to get you on the right track.

Gifts for Golfers 

If your husband or boyfriend is a keen golfer, a golf-related gift is a great choice. While he may already have plenty of accessories and equipment, he is sure to be impressed by a golf themed gift that really stands out from the rest. A gold dipped golf ball and tee is one of the best gifts for him from Eternity Rose. Dipped in pure 24 karat gold, this premium gift brings a luxurious touch to his special day and is the ideal way to show him how much you care. There are two versions to choose from – one which is playable and which boasts a performance to match any of his standard golf balls, and one which is purely for display, so whether he wants to amaze his friends on the green or impress visitors with this stylish memento to grace his display cabinet, there can be no more appropriate gift for the golfer in your life.

Preserving the Memories 

Sometimes, it's the memories that count, so give your loved one a gift that helps them to remember the best sporting moments of their lives. A Ticket Stub Diary is a great way for him to collect and preserve all of his tickets from top sporting events that he has attended, and with its plastic internal pockets, he can add photographs and other memorabilia as an aide mémoire of the occasion. With space in the margin to write notes, he'll never forget the day his favourite team scored that all-important goal.

Bringing Sport Into Fashion 

Any sports fan who pays attention to his looks is sure to love a gift that combines two of the most important elements in his life – his favourite pastime and fashion. A pair of sporting themed cufflinks is one of the best ideas for gifts for him, forming a dual purpose of style and practicality. Sport themed cufflinks come in a range of designs, from miniature boxing gloves and tennis rackets to footballs and hockey sticks. This is one gift you can guarantee will enjoy plenty of wear.

Something for the Poker Fans 

If the man in your life likes nothing more than getting together with his friends for a hand of Texas Hold-Em, he is sure to love the gold dipped poker cards from Eternity Rose. Made to the highest tournament grade standards, this intricately detailed 24 karat gold-dipped set will turn any man cave or den into a high-roller casino, and as they are presented in a gorgeous cherrywood case, they even look great when sitting on the shelf. You can be sure he won't be able to wait to deal the next round.

Adding the Personal Touch  

Nothing makes a present more memorable than by giving it a personal touch, and what better way than by choosing an engraved gift? There are plenty of personalised sporting themed gifts to choose from, so there is sure to be something to suit the man in your life. Is he mad about football? Then a personalised memories book for his favourite team is a great choice. Each hardback publication features newspaper articles and snippets about significant games, major wins and key players over the years, and, for a final special touch, the name of the recipient is embossed on the front cover in stylish gold lettering. Or perhaps he spends every weekend with a fishing rod glued to his hand? Then how about a gorgeous engraved silver pocket watch with a three dimensional fishing scene on its front and a personal dedication on the back?
