March Madness is maddening!  College basketball fans and alumni are almost as nervous as the players themselves.  You can see it during timeouts, before the games, and the free-throw line.  Some bite their nails while others tap their feet to cope.  There’s not much you can do about in-game jitters, but before and after the game, try one of these!

Sports Office Accessories to Conquer the Workday!

Silence in the office can be maddening, especially when the work is mundane.  The only thing you hear is yourself working and the air conditioner wheezing.  Every twenty minutes your eyes drift away from the desk or the computer screen, and you try to find a distraction that gives you enough energy to finish the day.  Sports are always a good distraction, but you can’t completely put your work to the side and watch a game.  Instead, click here for a more subtle sidetrack!

Fancy Zippo Lighters!

Back in the stone ages, fire was a delicacy and its production was an art form.  Two sticks had to be rubbed together the right way, and a stroke of luck was needed for the spark to flourish.  As technology progressed, lighting a fire became easier than blinking an eye.  At the stroke of a match or the pull of a lighter, fire can be generated on a whim.  Click here to bear witness to the latest!

You’ll need it!

Zippo Lighters are wind resistant and there a bevy of designs available.  Check out a few lighters bedecked with Chinese Symbols.  You have a choice between “Honor” and “Luck”.  Pick a trait that’s significant to your life and light a flame that burns in your favor.  Beyond the artistic side, the lighter is solidly built and performance will not be an issue.  It’s definitely better than rubbing two sticks together.  If Chinese symbols don’t strike your fancy, try your hand at the Harley Davidson Zippo Lighters or the Patriotic Zippo Lighters.  Either is a fine choice!

Take a look at our Pure Zippo Lighters for choice galore!  This collection features a variety of builds.  We have chrome lighters, brass lighters, matte lighters, and much more.  They all have unique and colorful designs with an elegant finish, and sometimes, an engraving.  What more could you ask for in a lighter?

Whether it’s for warmth, light, or a cigarette, our Zippo Lighters should do the trick!

His first word was “Showtime!”

Since birth is the beginning, start off by checking out this dandy of a sports gift!  Frame a special baby photo and find a good place for it in your home or office.  The frame is sprinkled with different sports motifs to give your future pro athlete options.  He can be the next Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant, or Victor Cruz.  To add icing on the cake, the frame can also be personalized with your child’s precious birth details.  Talk about starting off on the right foot!  With all these sports on the plate, we might be looking at the next Bo Jackson!

Tricks of the Trade!

Super Bowl XLVII is almost here and fans are itching for their respective teams to win it all!  While the Ravens and 49ers are practicing and building a game plan, the die-hard fans are wearing their lucky shirts and simulating the game in Madden.  Some next level fans might even go so far as to try voodoo.  That’s dedication, but there are other ways.  There are a few tricks that you should stick up your sleeve!

Flag on the play!

Click here and take a look at one your secret weapons!  A referee costume is like sports voodoo.  Wear it, and whenever the opposing team has possession, throw out all kinds of flags.  Blow your whistle to no end, and if you’re bold enough (also if you have tickets) run out on field and take one for the team.  Concentrate hard enough, and you never know, your will might change the tide of the Super Bowl!  Another possible game changer is an electric football game.  Imagine the two sides as the two teams squaring off in the Super Bowl.  Skew the outcome in your favor by a big margin, and deeply believe that a simple game of vibrating football can affect the outcome!

Team specific gifts are a little bit easier!  Check out a nice selection of custom gifts for the San Francisco 49ers fans.  Choose a beer mug or shot glass.  The spirit in which drinking buddies take shots or toast to beer can go a long way.  Toast to the 49ers and push them on to victory.  Any bit of help is appreciated!  Baltimore Ravens fans should try a different route.  They’ve been the underdogs all season, and it’s now time to shock the world.  Try our Baltimore Ravens bedding on for size.  Go to sleep with the team in mind, and wake up in their sheets.  Let Mr. Sandman turn the tables in your favor.  It sounds unconventional, but according to everyone else, the Ravens weren’t supposed to be here in the first place!

Being different is key!  Face paint and foam fingers are not effective anymore.  Think outside the box and find a creative way to show support!

Show Support with a Sports Bracelet!

At every sporting event, you will find a combination of face paint, pom-poms, and jerseys scattered throughout the crowd.  It’s nice to see people rally together for once cause but the sports scene is getting convoluted, and it’s these same thing over and over again in every arena or stadium.  Maybe the fanfare needs to take a subtle shift.  Next home game, go for a slick approach.  Click here and witness the wave of the future!

NCAA sports fans are dedicated!  Alumni and students support their teams to no end, but they’re predictable.  Leave all of the regular fan gear at home.  Don’t wear the team colors or hold up signs.  Instead, only wear a NCAA bracelet, and when it’s time to cheer, have everyone raise his or her wrists to the sky and silence all the cheers.  Check out these cool bracelets, and find your school.  The opposing team and fans won’t know how to respond.  It will be a shock to their system!

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

The NFL can use a makeover as well!  Their crowd consists of beefed up face painters and beer chuggers.  Take a look at these football bracelets, and add a secret weapon to your fan arsenal.  It’s deceptive and probably not noticeable at first glance, but as they say in boxing: it’s the one you don’t see that knocks you out.  In honor of Baltimore’s upset over the Broncos, Ravens fans should pick up a bracelet.  Keep the momentum going and prove all of the critics wrong!

Wear a sports bracelet and provide the fan base with a change of pace!
