Top 3 Christmas Gifts for Dad 5 Words:

Red Wine, Football Book, Beano

Some Dad’s are hard to buy for but if they love wine, footy or comics we have these personalised gift ideas.

1. Personalised Red Wine

I’m a Dad and I love a glass (OK I like several) of red wine. But no one has ever given me a bottle of lovely red wine with my name on the label, far less one so beautifully designed, in a luxury gift box and with a smart gift card.

For Dads that likes to sip.

2. Football Club History Book

I’m not a huge footy fan (love rugby) but I do follow the fortunes of England (and Scotland) and I enjoy the history and drama of all the great clubs. These football books are the history of a club (or country) over 100 years and told in eye-witness reports from newspapers. Each can be personalised (for a small fee) with impressive gold embossing on the cover.

We’ve written about these books before, as they are a best seller. Every footy fan loves them.

Personalised Football Book

With around 100 years of club history in each one these personalised football books are a joy for any fan who wants to know the history of their club. I’ve given them to workmates and they are always impressed.

Footy Drama and Action

The story of each club is captured in newspaper stories, which brings to life great encounters of the past. All the drama and goalmouth action comes to life with on-the-spot reporting and great press photography.

Impressive Quality

The first thing you notice about this footy book gift is the size (the same as a tabloid newspaper) the second is the wonderful gold embossing (an option you pay a little extra for) and the third thing you notice is the personalised certificate on the inside (which is part of the price). All round a very special and impressive present.

Make your footy fan cheer this Christmas!

Football Club Book Christmas Gift

Personalised Footy Book for the Boss

Jim — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:29:50 +0000

Boss Football Book Gift in 5 Words:

Any Club, Personalised, UK Clubs

Is your boss into football? Which club does he follow? A personalised footy book is a great gift for the true fan.

“Come on YOU!”

The great thing about these football books is they take you right to the heart of the club, it’s history and the behind the scenes for dramatic and telling stories of the team.

Personalisation is what sets this football gift apart. Personalisation comes in 2 forms. First you have the choice of a message on the inside cover certificate and second you can have a name gold embossed on the cover, worth every penny.

Gift Highlights:-

3 Choices of Cover
3 Colour Choices (Leather cover only)
Gold Emboss the Cover (Option)
Personalised Message inside cover.

Every One a Winner

Every time I ask anyone I know who has bought such a book for a friend, family member of indeed a workmate and I ask “Did they like it?” The reply is usually ‘O’ they loved it!” What a cracking gift for a football fan and a great way to impress. The gold embossing costs a little extra but it makes such an impression.

Spoil the boss!

Christmas Presents for Boyfriends

Christmas Presents for Boyfriends in 5 Words:

Footy, Whisky, Adrenaline, Newspaper, Spoof

Boyfriends are simple creatures aren’t they? We’re happy with sport and drink, sometimes both.

Fancy a Footy Fanatic

Every boyfriend knows he could have scored that goal. At this very moment he’ll be planning a goal scoring celebration…

Here’s a few Christmas gift ideas for the football fan boyfriend. All of which can be personalised.

Sip into Something Unusual

Whisky is for sipping and ideal to keep the chill out at Christmas. Sometimes the bottle can last till Easter. Here’s a Christmas gift idea, that although pricy maybe something he deserves. Put his name and a date on a bottle of single malt.

Personalised Malt Whisky Gift

Does he run on Adrenaline?

There are lots of adrenaline driven experience day gifts to choose from. These are gifts where he will have to PROVE himself! Would he go white-water rafting or sky-diving? Give him a rush and he could come back with great memories.

Adrenaline Gift Experiences

History of the Boyfriend

Here’s a slightly left-field gift suggestion. Give him a gift this Christmas that will place him in history. For a very reasonable price you can give him an original (and certified) newspaper from his date of birth. What was the world like the day he was born?

See Newspaper Dates

Spoof Him

No one has given me one of these…yet! I keep leaving clues but no luck because I want to feature in the headlines of a newspaper and have it framed and on my wall for all to see that I won the Rugby Six Nations for Scotland!

Have a look at the magazine covers, they are fun and full of silly puns that will amuse him this Christmas and beyond.

Christmas Presents for Boyfriends

Scottish Football Fan Gift

Jim — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 11:30:56 +0000

Scotland Football Book Gift in 5 Words:

History, Drama, Personalised, Hampden, Victory

Do you know a Scottish football fan? Do you want to give him a memorable gift? This book is the answer…

Great History

This book from GoneDigging kicks off in 1921 with Scotland’s 3-0 victory over England and then charts the glory and the pain of the national side up to the present day. Other notable victories over England are included including the 3-1 thumping of England in front of a record Hampden Park crowd of 149,407 in 1937.

See more of the book: Scotland Football Book

Gift with a Personal Touch

Each of these books is available in a range of covers to suit all pockets. I like the least expensive one the best with its ‘linen type’ effect. Add a name and a message to the front page for free. Spend a few more pounds and gold emboss the front cover. That’s worth every penny as it makes a massive impact and this gift unique.

Top 5 Celtic FC Gifts

Jim — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:52:11 +0000

Get the wee man a Celtic FC footy gift; a unique book covering 100 years of Celtic history…

Celtic Gift in 5 Words

Hoops, Embossed, Nostalgia, Winners, Dalglishhhhhhhh!

Celtic FC Gift of the Year

All fans of Parkhead will appreciate a good blather about the glorious and dramatic moments created by Dalglishhhhhh and all the other heroes of this historic club. We recommend this newspaper book personalised for the fan in your life.

The Celtic FC Football Book

What’s great about this book is all the lost moments and the key stories that it brings back. Maybe the 2:1 win over Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup Final is a bit of ancient history but a true fan MUST know all the facts! Something we really like is the more human stories like Jock Stein becoming manager in 1965.

GoneDigging are now offering three different covers and prices so you could go for the linen cover (my favourite), the leatherette, or the luxury cover. Great book – great choices!

Celtic Football Book Gift

All in the Name

Put your dad, son, daughter, or mum’s name in a calendar dedicated to Celtic legends. This is great for their ego and they’ll feel part of Parkhead. We like the name in the advertising hoarding.

Have a look here: Celtic Legends Calendar

Fan Diary

A similar idea to the calendar; you get a diary full of Celtic heroes and dad’s name etc integrated into images. Great for organisation and a really neat Celtic souvenir.

Celtic Thrash Everyone!

Love this; a big bold headline and a story of how Celtic beat the world or any rival. Just pop over to this site and type-in ‘Celtic’ and their name, plus a few other details and they can have a fun framed newspaper PROVING that Celtic is the best.
Celtic Thrashes Rivals Newspaper

Hero of Parkhead Football Commentary

I really love this it’s a gift that will make them feel like their on the pitch, wearing hoops, and winning the game in a last-gasp-dramatic-acrobatic-goal-scoring-moment. Recorded by professionals.

Yet More Celtic FC Gift Ideas

Ultimate Football Fan - This includes a quiz for all football lovers and great for all the football family.

Personalised Football Tattoo Poster - A high impact poster that’s a bit saucy and even more striking.

Jim Says “The history book is the killer gift and you can buy an updated ‘Season’ book every year as well. Love the commentary idea too.”

Football Book Gift Ideas – Moments of Memorabilia

Does the football fan in your family remember standing on the terraces? I do. It was cold but the pies were hot. Do they hark back to the old days? I love nostalgia, in fact we should get some new nostalgia, the old nostalgia isn’t as good as the new stuff.

I love reading stories of what players are really like and that’s why I love old newspapers. Whenever I go in the loft I always find a scrap of newsprint that takes me back to when we first moved house or when I put the sledge away several winters ago and forgot about it.

Evocative Football Gifts

This football book delivers a feast of memories that your fan can tuck into. Why is it so good? Because these books are made up of newspaper stories; so the matches are reported as they happened and all the drama is captured with great pictures.

Personalised Football Gift

What really makes it a unique football gift is that you can personalise the front cover with a name in gold embossing. It costs an extra fiver but it’s worth it for the impression it makes.

Season It

What’s also smart is you can get a season book ie they update the books with a supplementary one every season. Now these are only available for the top ten or so teams in England and Scotland but they are worth it.

Big Football Gift

These football books are tabloid sized, that’s thirty-eight centimetres by thirty-one and that makes them very impressive.

Check out the available teams on Gone Digging football gifts.
