There are many dart gift ideas out there, and I like to point out what I find. Before saying more, I need to give my usual legal disclaimer. I have not tried out many of these products. I list them because they look interesting. I'm not vouching for the quality of the products or the vendors by listing them. So, caveat emptor. Also, I have not accepted any money or other benefit from any of the vendors. I do this blog because I enjoy darts and I like to write! If you have experience with any of the gift ideas that I have mentioned, good or bad, feel free to leave some comments.
With all that out of the way, its time to wander with me through the web's offering of edible dart gift ideas. The Chocolate Vault still sells nice looking chocolate dart boards and darts. They even have a dart lollipop.
Homemade gifts are nice, and Christmas is the season for baking and decorating. Check out these interesting ideas for making dart cakes. This one particularly caught my eye. As another sign that the British know how to do darts right, one London bakery makes a giant dart cake that serves 35. I found a Georgia bakery that makes a delicious looking dart cake as well. Got a sugar craving yet?
Let's go from sweet to salty. Some clever folks have made dart gift baskets using a dart board as a base. One popular one features salami, beer cheeses, crackers, and cookies, and there is a less expensive basket with just the cheese. Of course, there is no reason not to let your own creativity loose. Buy a dart board, pick a theme, and add your own items. There is plenty of advice out there on how to make a good gift basket, and you can customize the goodies to things you know the recipient will like.
No gift review is complete without a truly strange idea, and I found one for you. One of my favorite websites to browse is worth1000.com. The idea of the site is to have photoshop contests around a theme. People come up with some creative or just plain zany ideas. They post the results for all to see. Imagine my surprise when one creative genius came up with the idea for a dart pizza. I have not yet found a pizzeria that will make one, but what a great idea...so just imagine your perfect dart birthday party.
1. You go to the pub, order some dart pizzas and play a few games with your dart buddies.
2. The PDC Dart Girls join your friends in singing happy birthday, then you eat your dart birthday cake, and open your dart gift basket.
3. Pinch yourself to see if you have died and gone to dart heaven.
A special shout out to the guys at Darts Around the World. They were kind enough to interview me last night along with my friend Rags, my favorite darts graphic design guru. If you have not already checked out the Darts Around the World podcast, get with it!
