My Christmas Shopping Is All Done: Hereās What I Picked Out for Kalen DeBoer and Others
The holiday season is in full swing, and with Christmas just around the corner, Iām thrilled to announce that my shopping is officially done! Among the names on my list this year is none other than Kalen DeBoer, head coach of the Washington Huskies. After a stellar season leading his team to success, I couldnāt resist finding the perfect gift to celebrate his achievements. Of course, I didnāt stop thereāseveral others whoāve made a mark this year are also included. Hereās what I picked out for Coach DeBoer and the rest.
As one of college footballās brightest coaching minds, Kalen DeBoer has proven his ability to lead and innovate. To celebrate his success with the Washington Huskies, Iāve chosen a custom tablet with a leather case engraved with the Huskies logo and his name. The tablet will come preloaded with coaching tools and game analysis software, making it both a practical and symbolic gift. Itās the perfect way to thank him for bringing excitement and pride to Husky Nation.
Washingtonās star quarterback, Michael Penix Jr., has had an unforgettable season, setting records and leading his team to victory. To honor his contributions, Iāve picked out a glass-framed display for his iconic No. 9 jersey. The frame includes a plaque detailing his achievements this season, from his jaw-dropping passing stats to his leadership in pivotal games. Itās a fitting tribute to a player whoās brought so much to the Huskies.
The Huskies had a remarkable season, and while the actual championship rings are reserved for the players and staff, Iāve arranged for replica rings to celebrate their journey. Each ring will feature the team logo, the year, and an inscription that reads, āBuilt for Greatness.ā Itās a fun way to honor their collective effort and inspire continued excellence in seasons to come.
For the dedicated fans who show up rain or shine to support the team, Iāve put together a game-day gift set. It includes a fleece-lined Huskies blanket, a thermal mug for those chilly games, and a set of team-branded gloves. Itās the perfect way to ensure their comfort while they cheer from the stands or at home. After all, a team is nothing without its loyal fan base.
College football rivalries are part of what makes the sport so thrilling. For Washingtonās Pac-12 rivals, Iāve chosen a set of custom coasters emblazoned with the Huskies’ game scores and the phrase, āBetter Luck Next Season.ā Itās a playful way to keep the competitive spirit alive while celebrating Washingtonās standout year
Beyond the football-inspired gifts, Iāve focused on thoughtful, personalized presents for my loved ones. From a new cookbook for the aspiring chef in my family to a set of art supplies for my creative niece, every gift was chosen with care. The joy of giving isnāt just about the item itself; itās about the thought behind it.
Getting my Christmas shopping done early has been an incredible relief. Without the pressure of last-minute scrambling, Iāve had time to enjoy the festive seasonādecorating the tree, sipping on hot cocoa, and catching up on holiday movies. Itās also allowed me to be more intentional, finding gifts that truly resonate with each recipient.
As Christmas morning approaches, Iām eagerly anticipating the smiles these gifts will bring. Whether itās honoring a coachās remarkable season, celebrating a playerās legacy, or simply showing love to those around me, each gift carries a piece of holiday magic.
Hereās to a season filled with joy, gratitude, and celebrationāespecially for Kalen DeBoer and the Washington Huskies!
