With Christmas right around the corner, no doubt there are quite a few people on your list that are deserving of something more than the general box of candy or gift basket of fruit. With a little thought, you have the opportunity to stand out from the majority of gift givers by opting for the unique gift related basketball for the sports enthusiast in your circle of friends and family. Even those you may not initially consider for such a seemingly extravagant present may be floored and wowed by the thought you put into a special token just for them.
Most everyone loves the game of basketball, even if they aren't glued to their TV during the weeks of the annual playoffs. Shooting hoops in the driveway, the dorm room or even in the office is a great stress reliever for anyone and brings a smile to the face of the person or people playing. Also basketball has the added benefit of helping people get in a little exercise each time they hit the court, even if it's not for a full game. Basketball hoops have a way of drawing people out of their seats and into some fun that gets the heart rate up and the muscles moving.
For your favorite friends, family or neighbors, consider bestowing upon them a portable basketball hoop. A stand up portable hoop is easy to pick up at the local discount store, or possibly even at a garage sale, providing it is still in good shape. You'll want to be sure to check out the joints and hardware on used units to make sure the gift you give will last. These units come with bases that can be filled with sand or water. You could even surprise said family with the hoop by setting it up outside of their home early Christmas morning and "wrapping" it with a large bow. Another option for a portable hoop is a wall mount unit. Purchasing this type of unit for a family may take a little research, as it will mount right to their house.
If you live in an area where families or co-workers may need something they can do inside during colder weather, there are lots of choices for indoor units as well. Most of us can remember the Nerf style hoops made of plastic that would stick to the wall with miniature suction cups. Oh, how many days did we put off doing homework in the quest of the perfect Nerf dunk! Today, these indoor hoops can come with metal mounting brackets that will anchor the hoop securely to the wall of the game room, garage or office. Rims are made to be flexible so as not to disrupt the security of the hoop on the wall. With price ranges from approximately $50 up to $150, something for every budget can be found in a cinch.
So when you've got gift giving to do, keep in mind to think outside the box. Think in the hoop and slam dunk a great gift for someone special!
