Gregg Hall asked:


For the big players, the companies compete against each other to personalize their sporting gear. But that should not be a deterrent to us who are creative and have that extra something to make things special. Whether you are a golfer who wants to do things in his/her own way or whether you are planning to gift someone who is a golf enthusiast something special, welcome to the world of personalized golf gifts!

Today online has revolutionized the concept of shopping and you can get series of personalized golfing goodies for yourself or if you are planning to gift someone. Why if you are at the realm of a company and want to do something special, you can consider gifting customized golf tees, golf caps or golf towels as corporate gifts to your rivals, your business partners and even your employees. Imagine the marketing platform you are opening up using this concept.

So what are the ideas that you can explore when it comes to personalized golf accessories?

You can have your name or your initials monogrammed on your golf bag, in leather and custom-stitched to the bag. Golf bag is the treasure house of your loot, make it unique and reflective of your taste. You can also think of having your company’s logo or your family emblem on it.

Next in the series of personalizing golf items will be the balls. You can get personalized golf balls at very cheap rates online. Keep it stylish and you can have just your initial as the trademark for your golfing kit.

While at personalizing, consider putting your name, initials or company logos on golf towels and golf tees! So, next time that you wipe off your face or bend down to put the tee on ground do it with style. When we say personalizing your golf kit, we do not mean just putting in your initials. You can even color co-ordinate your accessories with your golf bag!

Customize your golf clubs. Have them in your height and your grip. It is like your own line of golf accessories. Learn from your game and tweak your accessories accordingly. Move to the sides the biggest names in the sports goods section, you have your own customized clubs.

When at it, people also have personalized golf carts sporting a SUV-look, seat warmers and air-conditioned carts. People also go for customized umbrellas and shades.

How you want to personalize your golf accessories is strictly your call. You do not need to follow others. You can make your own space. Think in terms of colors, patterns, photographs of your family that you can emboss on your golf bag or use embroidered tops for your golf bags. Wear shoes that outline the color of your bag and use towels that represent the pattern of your golf bag. If your kids are into golfing, surprise them with golf bags, towels or golf balls with cartoon prints or with their favorite characters.

If you are holding a golfing tournament for a cause, then personalize the accessories with logos and the cause that you are sporting. You can always use those later even after the tournament.

Unique Gift Baskets Strategy Hits the Bulls-eye

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009
golf gift
Brian Connors asked:


What do the themes of gardening, golf, casino, Italian food, coffee, chocolate, movies, auto racing, spicy food, tea and others have in common? The correct answer is that each one has unique gift baskets that can be sent to anyone, anywhere throughout the continental USA for whatever reason.

So why is this important? Well, everyone is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon in this thing called life. Each one has his or her own different tastes, hobbies, interests and goes by the beat of a different drum. Hence, the need for a variety of gift giving ideas to suit the one that we would like to grant our attention and admiration. There’s bound to be unique gift baskets to match the lifestyle of any individual on our gift-giving to-do list.

Here’s another question. What do the occasions of new babies, birthdays, housewarming, thank you’s, weddings and pretty much any other event have in common? You would be on the money if you guessed that there is bound to be a gift basket with the intention of celebrating the listed happenings and more. Each one caters to the specific occasion with items that speak in that language.

The good part about the unique gift baskets idea is that there is a focus on something special that the lucky beneficiary can immediately identify with. The bad part is trying to locate the place to get them as well as having them delivered to the one that we wish to commemorate. So what’s the next move to make?

Glad that you asked. Go online to Google, Yahoo, MSN or whichever search engine suits your fancy and type in the keywords and keyword phrases that are relevant to your needs. For instance, phrases such as “golf gift baskets”, “unique food gift baskets”, “wedding gift baskets” may be good starting points for those circumstances. Use the ol’ noggin and get as specific as you need to be to get exactly what you’re after.

The next step is to find a respectable website that sells the desired merchandise to make a safe purchase. You can have the unique gift baskets delivered to yourself to hand over in person or you can have them sent to the doorstep of the actual gift recipient. Just let the website know who and where to send it to and by when. Fill in the credit card information on the safe website and it’s a done deal.

What have we accomplished here, my friends? We’ve narrowed our search to reach a desired end. We’ve found something that will speak to the heart of our friend or relative. We’ve arranged to have it shipped to an exact location by a certain date. We’ve made someone know that we are thinking of them and of our hope to make their lives more happy and fulfilling.

What haven’t we done? We haven’t experienced the burden of traffic jams on the way to the mall. We’ve graciously declined the invitation to compete for parking spaces with strangers that wish to beat us to them. We’ve avoided getting our cars dinged in those same parking lots. We haven’t had to undergo the stress of shopping in the stores with items that have been handled by heaven knows who or what for that matter. Know what I mean?

That’s why giving unique gift baskets online may be just the perfect strategy that you need throughout the year. Maybe you should consider this alternative down the road when it’s time to tell others that they are, indeed, very special.

What’s the best gift for my dad’s birthday?

Shirley asked:


My dad plays golf and his birthday is coming up really soon! I need a perfect gift for him but I hardly have any money. So I can’t go on one of those shopping sprees and buy him like tons of golf stuff. What should I give him that shows I care but is not too expensive? He loves soccer and golf. Any ideas?

Can you please suggest a gift for my father’s 60th birthday?

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Level Headed, I hope asked:


He’s not really into anything specific. He golfs, but it’s not a passion. He collects antique little fire trucks, but he has so many and his wife complains about how much room they take up. I’m not that close with him, so it can’t be a mushy #1 Dad type gift. Any suggestions?

Help with golfer boyfriends bday/xmas gift? 10 points to best answer?

Monday, April 13th, 2009

Jen C asked:


I’ve been dating my boyfriend for a little over 2 years now and have basically run out of clever present ideas for him. His birthday is right before christmas so I have to think of twice as many things to get him. He’s 20 years old, is outdoorsy and LOVES to golf. I can’t think of any clever golfing gifts. He already has new clubs, a bag and plenty of golf balls. I’ve gotten him golf clothes in the past and he has a ton. Is there any good or clever gift idea you can think of? He also likes to hunt, fish and exercise. If you can think of any good ideas, please let me know. Thank you very much!

10 points to the best answer!!

Clyde

Great Ideas for Golf Tournament Gifts

Sunday, April 12th, 2009
golf gift
Apurva asked:


There are lots of options when it comes to offering golf tournament gifts to participants of a fundraiser event. However, you should bear in mind the participants, the budget and the purpose of the event. You could offer a golf gift to the top ten finishers. While these can be simple, the main winner should get a grand prize. The value of the gifts can be decided by the amount of money the sponsor is willing to give.

Corporate Events

In a corporate golf event, the gifts would almost always be corporate promotional products. These events cultivate team spirit and corporate loyalty. You should give enough attention to selecting gift ideas that include tee prizes, good bags, best golfer, worst golfer and the winner of the tournament. Your prizes can also be a holiday for the players or a dinner at a restaurant as golf tournament gifts. Other gift options can be business card cases, desk clocks, pen set, golfer statue, picture frame, memo holder, miniature trophy etc. It is better to purchase these gifts from a specialty shop.

Charity Events

Charity tournament is one of the popular kinds of golf tournament. The gifts should be less costly in this type of event and can even be donated. The gifts can be golf tees, beverage coolers, golf balls, coupons to local vendors and stickers. However, the major prizes should be appealing enough to attract the participants. The prizes can be golf apparel, golf trips, golfing packages and golf bags.

Community Events

Communities arrange golf tournaments either to increase involvement or to raise money for a purpose. Companies and vendors may sponsor the golf tournament gifts. While the gifts can be accessories like golf balls and golf tees, the grand prize can be a golf weekend gateway or membership to a club for a year.

Unique Gifts

You can offer golf tees with the tournament’s name printed on them to all the golfers. If you have a sponsor, the logo of the sponsor can also be imprinted. Likewise, ball markers and golf balls can also be imprinted with names. All these are unique golf gifts. You can also offer intermediate prizes for events such as closest to the pin, longest putt and longest drive. The gift options can be a hat, shirt, golf balls, golf towel and gift certificates.

If you want to add some humor to the tournament, you can consider golf gag gifts. This can be given to the worst golfer or to the one who lost the most balls. You can think about an un-puttable ball or a floating ball for the worst golfer. For the main winner, a customized club or a wood putter is a great idea. Other golf tournament gifts can be discount cards and membership cards for golf clubs. Although trophies are standard prizes, unique golf gifts would be better.

Memorable Wedding Gifts for the Parents of the Bride and Groom

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
golf gift
Angelique Ellerman asked:


When shopping for wedding gifts, it is tradition for the happy couple to give gifts of thanks and appreciation to the wedding party.  Perhaps the most meaningful gift they’ll be looking for will be the gifts for mom and dad.  After all they are most likely helping to pay for this momentous occasion, plus parents are an extremely important part of any wedding celebration.  The happy couple wants to not only show their love but also their appreciation for everything mom and dad have done for them throughout their lives. 

My personal favorite gift to give is anything personalized.  Not only are there literally millions of gift ideas to choose from online, but no matter what the occasion, a gift that is engraved or personalized turns an ordinary gift into something extraordinary.  Personalized wedding gifts are the kind that will be greatly enjoyed and cherished for years to come. 

Items like: a jewelry box, watch box, tear collecting bottle/keepsake, liquor flask, silver plated pocket watch, money clip, wine gifts which include stoppers, totes, crystal glasses and personalized gift boxes are also memorable and truly unique.  Other ideas include items like:  gift baskets which come in a huge selection of themes, colors and styles sure to please even the most discriminating and golf gifts like: a divot tool and ball marker, shoe bag, paid club membership, new shoes or a shadow box.  Also cufflinks, stylish tote bags, leather travel bags, leather briefcases and even smoking accessories like cigar boxes and Zippo lighters can all be personalized. 

Another favorite gift to give is something that mom and dad will not only enjoy, but should help them to relax and unwind after all that stressful wedding planning.  Gifts like:  a bed and breakfast weekend getaway or just a certificate so they can choose the destination, a weekend spa retreat, day at the spa or again a gift certificate so they can choose.  Also try an adventure certificate booklet that allows mom and dad to take a vacation of their choice which is something you know they’ll absolutely love.  Otherwise try giving a gift certificate to a favorite store or the gift of a dinner reservation for two at a favorite restaurant for fun and memorable gifts that are fun to give while helping to create new memories. 

The last bunch of gift ideas again can be personalized but also make memorable keepsakes that can be proudly displayed for all to see.  Items like:  a personalized framed poem, photo frame or photo album which should also include pictures, a keepsake handkerchief for mom, a crystal plaque engraved with a poem or any personal message, sterling silver or gold jewelry or a watch and even a personalized afghan or throw.  If you’re really talented you can even make the afghan or throw for a memorable keepsake that is truly one of a kind.  And last but not least you could also have a DVD movie made of the wedding and reception or just get mom and dad a funny T-shirt, sweatshirt or hat that can be personalized to say pretty much anything. 

With so many choices out there it’s hard to pick just one.  Of course most weddings are on some sort of budget, so how do you find the perfect wedding gift for mom and dad that will be useful, memorable and affordable?  Answer:  Look on the internet.  Finding the perfect wedding gift shouldn’t have to be difficult.  Shopping online brings you millions of choices and some really great deals; all you need to do is browse around.  Plus shopping from the comfort of your own home or even during your lunch break can not only save you lots of time but also money and stress.

Give the gift that best fits into their lifestyle and unique personalities for a truly memorable gift mom and dad will love and thank you for.  Of course mom and dad will appreciate the thought and love the sentiment behind whatever gift you should want to give.  Good luck and as always Happy Shopping :-)
