Is another holiday or birthday coming up for that special bowler in your life? If your spouse, parent, sibling or friend is totally obsessed with bowling, bowling gifts probably seem like the perfect idea. But chances are, if your special someone is that into bowling already, he or she probably has just about everything they need. So what can you get someone who already has the ball, the bowling bag and even the shoes?

Luckily, when it comes to bowling gifts the options are practically limitless. One fail-safe choice is a gift certificate to the lucky bowler’s favorite alley so that they can play a couple games (and maybe even score some drinks and snacks) for free. If a gift certificate seems too cold or impersonal, try jazzing your gift up by pairing it with a unique novelty item. If the gift recipient is a girl, you might want to consider a snappy bowling-themed accessory, like a cute pin or piece of jewelry; a retro bowling shirt; or a sporty skirt. The man in your life might appreciate a funny T-shirt, tie or maybe even a book or DVD that talks about some of the best moments in the sport’s history.

Are you shopping for some little ones? Have no fear, there are plenty of options for the kiddies as well. Try a bowling video game (which has the added bonus of keeping them occupied on long car trips!) or a plastic bowling set that you can set up in your own basement or backyard.

Finally, one of the best bowling gifts is, quite simply, the gift of your own time and attention. If you’re not quite as passionate about bowling as your loved one, make a special effort to hit the lanes with them or even watch the next bowling tournament together on television. If you’re really not that into the sport, it may seem a lot easier to just buy something, but your special someone will surely appreciate the time and effort you make to enjoy their passion with them. Chances are you’ll also discover that bowling can be a lot more fun than you ever thought!
