The 2016 PokerNews Holiday Gift Guide: Best Gifts for Poker Players
- Updated: December 1, 2016
Winter isn’t coming. It’s here. And this holiday season, keep your friends and family warm with the best gifts the industry has to offer.
This year, PokerNews’ 2016 Holiday Gift Guide has you covered for whatever holiday you celebrate this December, or better yet, for any holiday or special occasion you celebrate year round.
Now, you can always know what to get your poker-playing friends and you can be confident they’ll appreciate it.
Here are the 10 gifts of the year that will have poker aficionados and poker newbs alike trying to one-up your gifts for the next few years.
1. Knock Out Watches
A great piece to have going into any poker game is a watch. Why, you might ask? Well, because not only do you get swag but you also can keep track of the time flying by during intense tournament action.
The newest line in the Knock Out watch chronograph family is called Underground. This watch was inspired by subterranean flows, the idea that a city is just waiting underneath the surface.
Motivated by subway trains in an exhilarating metropolis and drawing inspiration from classic train control dashboards, these Knock Out watches feature clean lines, classic shapes and a subtle yet visually striking watch face. This Underground Collection is a tribute to unseen worlds.
Use that as a selling point to your loved ones who’ve never been to top poker tournaments or want to play under the radar because their poker face isn’t all that good.
Each watch is named after a city; there is Berlin, New York City, México City, Paris, Stockholm. Each watch is made for men and women. These stainless steel, ultra-thin watches are anti-reflective, made with Sapphire, held together with a rubber strap. Each is water resistant.
These entrepreneurs want this gift to allow its wearer to pass the time as they wish, cherishing the moments and reinventing the perception of telling time with distinguished quality and clean designs.
What more could you ask for in a watch? Keep track of time and your memories at the table with this stunning Underground line from KO Watches.
