How to Choose Christmas Gifts for a Bowling Fanatic
- 1). Purchase a gift card to a local bowling alley. Now that bowling has become a bit more expensive, any assistance in lowering those costs will always be appreciated. The average cost per game is nearing $3 so one can purchase 10 games for just $30.
- 2). Buy him a pair of bowling shoes. If you don’t know his size, ask his spouse or friend. Shoes vary in cost from between $30 and $100.
- 3). Gift him with a set of “crying” towels. They come both in plain colors as well as embroidered designs with clever comic sayings. Best of all, the gift is inexpensive at between $5 and $20.
- 4). Present her with a wrist guard. Many women bowlers, and some men as well, need wrist protection and/or support to throw their balls the way the want and need. There are a wide variety of types and sizes to choose from and the cost is minimal. They range between $10 and $40.
- 5). Give him a new bowling bag. Gone are the old-fashioned cheap vinyl bags that only hold one ball and maybe a pair of shoes. Newer models are made from materials like canvas or leather and can hold two balls, shoes, and everything else the bowler might want or need. The cost ranges between $20 and $50.
- 6). Make or buy him a bowling trophy or plaque with a personal sentiment like “Your love always bowls me over” or “You are right up my alley.” Make it creative and fun. It will become his most prized trophy of all. The cost ranges between $20 and $40.
- 7). Purchase some aids to improve her bowling grip. Try balls for grip exercises or powders to help keep the hands dry during the bowling approach and delivery. Neither is very inexpensive at just $1.49 to $7.99 and will be appreciated by almost any bowler.
- 8). Give him a clock with a bowling theme. That way he can enjoy the thought of the sport anytime day or night. The cost is just under $22.
- 9). Buy her a desktop bowling game from GadgetBargains.com. It’s fun and a real conversation starter for under $10.

Give him a new bowling ball and have it custom drilled to fit his hand. Although this will be a more expensive gift, it will be well worth the extra bucks. The cost will vary, depending upon the ball chosen, the place where it is purchased and drilling fees. However, they will average between $40 and $200.
