Affordable Gifts for men – The 12 Days of Dappered #8

Bicycle Black Tiger Playing Cards With Red Pips – $6.99

12 weekdays, 12 gifts, not a partridge or pear tree amongst them.  And no golden rings either.  The goal is to keep these affordable (which is honestly, tough to define) but still interesting.  At the very least these should be idea starters.  Click here for the previous days.

Get the cards with the red “pips.”  The pips are the hearts, diamonds, clubs, and spades.  Only the hearts and diamonds should be red in your deck, and the spades and clubs will be white.  If you go with the all white deck, after about an hour into the poker game it gets real tough to tell the difference between all the suits.

Made of heavy duty stock, these cards feel great in your hands and are easy to shuffle and move around a felt covered table.

Is it necessary to spend almost seven bucks on a deck of cards which has the same 52 playing cards as a $3.00 deck from a drug store?

Of course not.  But these look better.  And that’s why giving gifts is fun.

Need a couple more pointers on how to throw a poker night on the cheap?  Click here for that.
