Picking out a gift for that special someone can sometimes be harder than enjoying your next visit to the dentist and getting your tooth pulled. You may be that someone who really enjoys gift giving. Either way, sometimes finding that perfect gift can still be a challenge.
Now, do you have someone who loves poker and to you the options seem limited? They are plain old cards and chips right? If you are passionate about something, then you understand that there's plenty of selections if you know what you are looking for and poker is no different. Options are limitless if you search deep and hard enough. Refer to the following poker list essentials and you'll discover a perfect gift for your favorite poker player!
1. Cool Playing Cards
Poker is not a game without a deck of these, and if you can get 2 or more the better! Have you heard of plastic cards? They can endure even the most sloppy shuffle and usually have a longer shelf life than standard cards yet feel the same. Be careful of plastic cards made of vinyl as they tend to be less durable. Oh, you can wash these cards too!
Plastic cards feel strange when you hold them? Authentic casino cards will do the trick then! These are the same cards issued by casinos so their feel is unparalleled. Not drilled or straight cut, just like that special someone wants them. They'll feel like an expert when dealing them out!
2. Poker Chip Set
If you look around one will see there are plenty of chip variations but one should only pay attention to clay and clay composites. The others are ok but if you want the real deal then clay is the only way to go.
Poker chips with metal inserts are one of the many variations available and this could effect the price very dramatically. One of the most well known chips in the industry are Paulson chips and you can't go wrong by choosing them. Specialty chips that even have an image of your poker fan's favorite sports team are available.
3. Poker Tabletops
Buying a dedicated poker table might be a bit extreme so knowing that the tabletops available right now are quite affordable and cool is a good thing. Before you look for one make sure to consider the amount of players one might have as there are variations to accommodate as many as 10 players.
Segmented centers allow for smoother action during play. Plush padding and cup holders are most definitely a welcome addition and worth the expense. Vinyl coated bottoms are the standard when looking for tabletops that won't damage your regular table.
When choosing a tabletop, the ability to be folded and stored away is an important factor. Paying attention to the felt quality can prevent you from buying cheaper ones that quickly show signs of wear. Why not get a custom logo printed while you're at it?
4. Poker Carrying Case
Poker players love nice cases, especially if they have frequent games at their friends homes. The intricate details available on wood cases make them very popular, however aluminum cases come with durability that wood can't match. Many cases have an option for a telescopic handle for easier mobility.
Quality of the padding is someting to pay attention to. The variety available makes it important to consider. Sometimes upgrading to include racks and cases are necessary to keep the poker area neat.
5. Dealer Buttons
You would be surprised to know that a simple button can make a difference. A unique dealer button helps one to stand out especially if you have one with a built-in tournament blind timer! This feature combines two essential elements of tournament play which is the ability to safely passed as a dealer button while at the same time keeping blind times at your fingertips.
6. Card Shufflers
Looking to impress someone? How about getting a professional card shuffler which will make you feel like you're in a real casino! Usually battery operated and constructed in wood or plastic, a shuffler can ease the strain of game play while simultaneously protecting anyone from being accused of cheating. The value of that alone is priceless.
Two deck and four deck varieties are available. Getting a shoe is the ultimate version and has a heavy steel roller resulting in smooth action. You have to have one.
It's my wish that the above list got your creative juices flowing and it's possible to come up with that ultimate gift! Mixing and matching the above ideas or just buy everything. That's a very lucky poker player.
