- A committed rugby player probably has a stash of his own rugby balls, but there are many decorative and novelty rugby balls available to the careful shopper. Scan Internet auction sites for autographed balls. For a joke gift, there are always miniature balls. Alternatively, if the rugby player is only a casual fan who enjoys an occasional game with friends at the park, then splurge on a top-of-the-line professional rugby ball to replace the amateur product your friend might be using.
- Compendiums of funny sports stories, autobiographies of famous players and coaches or even rugby-themed novels are a nice gift idea, and these gifts are usually inexpensive. Look up the sports bestseller list on a large online book retailer, and see if there's anything that fits the description. Once you have identified a few potential purchases, read the reviews on a couple of different sites to decide which book to buy.
- Find out the player's favorite team, maybe a team that plays in Europe or Australasia, and buy the full kit. This may be a little expensive, so have a few friend's pitch in to make it a group present. Having the recipient's name printed on the back of the shirt, as well as the number of the recipient's favorite player, would be a nice touch.
- For an unusual rugby gift, search around for rugby-themed artwork. This might be a painting of a famous scene, such as a world cup winning try, for example. Alternatively, find a framed photo of a seminal moment in the history of your friend's favorite club. Perhaps there's a figurine of a well-known player that would be an appropriate gift. Thinking outside the box a little and finding some sports art could lead to a truly memorable present.
