Tennis gifts for 60 year old tennis players, not 21 year olds.

I've come across a tennis gift idea that I thought I'd pass along. It's not a tennis gift that you'd buy for a 21 year old guy who loves his tennis, but it is a tennis gift for perhaps a 60 year old man who loves his tennis.

Why a 60 year old tennis player and not a 21 year old tennis player? Because the 60 year old guy isn't as spritely as he used to be and, although he loves his tennis, may not be quite as agile on the tennis court as he'd like. Maybe he's got back problems, amongst other things.

Well at 60 you'd expect that wouldn't you. And not just for a 60 year old guy who plays tennis but for a 60 year old guy who plays just about anything, he'll be slowing up a bit.

So any gift idea that makes his day on the tennis court a little easier has to be welcome. And it will allow him to focus more on the tennis than, say, collecting tennis balls.

So here's a gift idea for an older man who plays tennis and has a little more trouble bending down picking up tennis balls all the time.

It's called the "Grip and Lift". It attaches to the end of his tennis racket and becomes, in effect, his own personal ball boy. Just pick up the ball with the end of the tennis racket and he doesn't even need to bend over any more. Read more

So what DO you give to a dad to be?

A friend of mine is a dad to be, not too long to go now, and of course my thoughts turned to gifts for expectant dads.

Because of course there's a thousand and one gifts for expectant mums, but whoever thinks about expectant dads? After all, they're expecting too, even if they aren't actually going to be doing the deed themselves. They've got a baby coming as well.

And of course for mums there's a thousand and one gifts that are all directed to making her new life as a mum easier, more comfortable and joyous, all in the company of the new baby.

So I thought I'd have a look for a gift idea for a dad that encompassed the same theme, a gift that was directed at bringing dad and baby closer together.

I think I've found something that fits the description just fine. It's the Dads Diaper Vest.

It's got everything he'd want. Pockets to hold just about everything. Diaper wipes. Car keys, cell phone, mp3 player, (for when the crying gets too much) baby bottle, and it can even hold diapers as well. Read more
