Nearly everyone has a football fan on their holiday list. Instead of going with yet another T-shirt or a tie with a team logo, get creative this season and give a gift that anyone with a passion for the pigskin can appreciate.

There are many ways to enjoy football — watching at home, tailgating at the game, playing in the backyard and more. True fanatics love them all, so make their football fantasies come true by covering a little bit of everything.

* Give a top-grain leather football for play during the day and a light-up or glow-in-the-dark football so the game can continue well into the evening. Discourage injury inducing tackles by gifting flags for a rousing game of touch football.

* Don’t settle for basic sports memorabilia like a jersey or team ball. Go the extra mile and find an autographed version. You’ll get points if you track down a favorite player and have them sign and personalize something for your gridiron addict.

* Get ready for game day with a basket filled with favorite snacks and beverages to enjoy while watching the action. A six-pack of premium beer, fresh tortilla chips and hot salsa and a gift certificate for pizza delivery are just a few ideas for your snack menu.

* A recent study for Samsung by Kelton Research found that 64 percent of Americans are football fans and 54 percent of them say that if there’s room in their budget, they’d purchase a new television for the start of football season. Eighty-one percent of fans say the quality of the TV picture is more important than the food while watching football. Put a season-long smile on their faces with a Samsung HDTV, the official HDTV of the NFL.

The Samsung HDTV has a huge, 1080p high definition screen and a slim and stylish design with a wide screen, so everyone in the room can see every play. Sharp resolution and multifunctional features like an InfoLink RSS feed and DLNA certification make the TV the digital hub of the living room.

* Give a DVD collection of highlights from a favorite team, and classic football movies like “Knute Rockne, All American,” “The Longest Yard,” “North Dallas Forty” and “Rudy.” You can even find candles scented like pigskin and the grass on the field to make you feel like you’re in the middle of the action.
