Trying to find a gift for oldest DS. He is a die hard Saints fan.

Trying to find something different "Saints". Like some kind of really good artwork or wall hanging type thing. Not a poster or picture of a player.

His favorite player is Brees but his autographed stuff is way out of my budget.

Game tickets aren't an option either.

He has all the jerseys, hats and car stuff. And he has a print of the stadium.

Maybe I should go with the other team he loves--the Braves?



Any suggestions welcome!!!!

http://ninebrand.com/?id=q5tszWov What about something from Drew & Brittany's 9 brand company?
 
I love Terrance Osborne paintings. Sadly the only "Dat Glory' painting I see is $1500. He's got other prints that are not as much. I am fond of his Day after Mardi Gras' with the beads in the magnolia trees. He's got many others depicting a lagniappe of many New Orleans items.

I googled and found fineartamerica.com. I know nothing about it other than I did see NO Saints paintings and art.

Are you close enough to make a trip to the French Quarter and the French market? I remember seeing saints art at one of the shops near the Christmas store when we were there last year.
 

Have you looked at nfl.com or the saints pro shop online. They have everything and anything that you never needed nor did I want that has football stuff on it.

This year my husband's colts gift was a Mr. Potato Head in a Colts jersey throwing a football. I particularly like the "angry" eyes that can be put in:rotfl:

I've done comfortable throw blankets, framed baseball card of Peyton Manning, colts wallet, desk set and like I said more stuff that we never needed.

If you look on groupon, there are tons of things also being sold with football logo things on it. It's mind boggling.
 
YAY!! Another Saints fan! I feel your pain- I think we own everything imaginable . Does he have a Saints watch ? They have several to choose from at different price ranges. I am guessing he is an adult ? If so - how about the coolers , BBQ pit covers, Tervis mugs, wallets ,hitch covers or flags for outside ?? I hate that the dome is sold out to season ticket holders - makes it hard to get tickets . And when you do - it's not cheap!!

Season ticket holders since '06...well, DH, DS14, DFIL, & DBIL are..I cheer from the comfort of my couch and let the boys deal with the crowds LOL. They bought tix at the right time. My DH has been a lifelong diehard fan. The minute we signed Drew, he bought season tix plus he was freaking out over the team moving to San Antonio. So glad he did and perfect timing..last I heard the waiting list was 55,000!!!

I'm totally jealous !!! I have been on the waitng list for years!! We go to several games every year and we pay through the nose!!! In fact we went to watch the Saints/Cowboys game and spent WAY more than we should have. But man what a great game!!!! And gotta love the city of New Orleans.

They are in the terrace but love their section and didn't switch to a lower level when they had the chance! I love the opportunity for my son..he was there for the NFC championship! He started going to games when he was 7...the season ticket holders around them have basically watched my son grow up through the years. Definitely a neat experience and nice tradition for the men in the family to do together.

And yes, my DH was offered $3600 for his NFC Championship game tix and he turned it down!!!!!!! I wanted him to take the $$$ but knew there was no way he would..after years of listening to the game on WWL because the games weren't televised he deserved that moment!!

Sorry to hack the thread!
 
My niece and her husband are season ticket holders. They love it too.

DS finally went to his first game last week. I was so excited for him!! He has loved the Saints through all the bad and the good so it was like a dream come true for him. He never would spend the money on the tickets before but now he says he will definitely go back.

He said there is just nothing like seeing them in the dome.

I'm glad he got to see a game ! Nothing like being there with 70,000 of your closest friends . It's so awesome. I hope you find him the perfect gift. Have you had any luck ?

I have found some things that are possibilities just not the "one". There are some art studios here in town and I think I am going to look there today.They do a lot of things from this area and the Saints is one of the most popular things around here. I know they had some really nice sketches and paintings that represented the USM Eagles so am hoping to find something.
