BLUFFSIDE BIRDIE'S
2020.. man what a year. From staying home to *trying* to stay sane, this year will be one we won’t forget. Anyone else feeling overwhelmed by just about anything, not to mention finding Christmas gifts for everyone on your list?!
Lucky for you, we have created a holiday gift guide for the disc golf lovers in your life and maybe even some newbies! It’s the perfect year to get your family and friends into disc golf if you haven’t already. It can be played outside, socially distanced and all year round (yes, even here in Wisco!) Who knows, by this time next year, it could be their new favorite hobby!
In this gift guide, we mention gifts from our own BB site as well as some other disc golf businesses that we love. We all know that small businesses need all the love possible after this rough year, so remember to shop small and shop early!
Alright let’s get to it..

Alright let’s get to it..
For the...ONE WHO DOESN’T OWN A DISC YET
So you have someone you want to get into disc golf, but don’t know exactly what would be the best disc choice for them. Nothing is worse than stepping up to a tee for the first time and given a high speed distance driver to throw. Come on now. For beginners, go with a midrange and putter combo. It will not only be best for their arm speed, but will help them build the skills to continue to improve their game. Here are some recommendations from the BB site below (all Trilogy, you can also check out Dynamic Discs for more options):

Now you gave them an awesome gift, but don’t leave them to fend for themselves! Pair the discs with handmade coupons that they can cash in to go play with you! We especially like this idea for the significant other in your life, not only do you get to do something you love, but you can spend quality time with each other. Worked for us 🥰
For the... ONE WHO DOESN’T LIKE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE
We get it, we live in Wisconsin. We know it gets cold as balls. If you can’t get your friends to join you out on the course, we recommend bringing disc golf into the house, and no not full size discs (they result in broken windows ). Try out the disc golf board game Birdie by Boda Brothers! We have it and love pulling it out for game nights. Pair it with this cozy BB blanket or some game night snacks.

Another option for inside fun is a mini basket and some minis. Over the years, we have set up many courses throughout our house, to create the coolest trick shots! Here is one we found at Discs Unlimited.
For the... ONE WHO YOU STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IS A PARENT
This one really hits home this year, as not only we are becoming parents but so are a few of our friends. These onesies and bibs are already approved by our Godson, and they are incredibly cute! We cannot wait to stick our baby in them.
For the... ONE WHO LIKES TO *WINE*
I mean who doesn’t like wine?! These wine bubbas are perfect to keep your drink cold and would go perfect with a bottle of Rose. We also have some really cute apparel with our wine/basket logo on our BB site. Here are a few of Brooke’s favorites!

For the... ONE WHO IS ALWAYS COLD
Being cold is never fun, especially when out on the course. Below are a few favorites for our BB site that we cannot go without. First, this hoodie is a great weight but also super soft on the inside. It's one you can wear on the course or to the store! Next, who can live without a beanie?! We have multiple beanies on our site, some with puff balls, some without. Can't go wrong either way. Lastly, this packable rain jacket is a MUST HAVE. This is one of our most popular selling items. Alone, it wouldn't suffice on a 30 degree day, but its perfect to layer over a sweatshirt and doesn't give you the bulky feeling of a winter jacket. Plus it has a middle zip pocket that is perfect to put a mini in!
And to really warm up, what is better than a hot cup of coffee? Birdie Fuel Coffee is the perfect combo of disc golf and coffee. Check out their website here!

For the... ONE WHO IS A FREAKING CINDY LOU WHO
As someone who puts their Christmas tree up the day after Halloween, I can totally relate. These holidays sweaters on our BB site feature a Wisconsin “ugly sweater” logo and are great for lounging on the couch or a casual round. Even though there won’t be as many holiday parties this year, you can still be festive at home!
Disc Store out of Nebraska also has some “ugly sweater” options that we have purchased in the past and really like! Clint has this dry fit long sleeve!
Pair either with a homemade BB ornament for that special someone’s tree!
For the... ONE WHO YOU WANT TO TAKE COVID SERIOUSLY
Had to just throw this one in here. Our neck gaiters and masks are such a useful gift right now. The gaiters can be worn as everyday COVID protection or during a round to keep warm! Our BB masks have a spot for a filter and are adjustable!

For the... ONE WHO LIKES TO WATCH THE PROS
I know we spend many hours watching tour coverage on Disc Golf Pro Tour, so I think that buying someone a monthly (or year) membership to the Disc Golf Network would be a perfect gift. It is $8.99 a month and gives you access to live tournament coverage as well as many other cool programs. If you are a PDGA member, you can also get 50% off!
For the... ONE WHO HAS IT ALL
So what do you get for the player that has over 400 discs, enough shirts to not do laundry for months and everything in between? (Cough cough, Clint Rihn)
Two words, GIFT CARDS! Trust me, they will continue to keep buying discs, they will lose their favorite ballista pro and will get nervous that having 12 backups isn’t enough by getting them a gift card, they can save it for when they really need something new or when a new disc release comes out and their wife says no to buying it (okay, you guys can tell this has happened many times in our household right?!)
Here is the link to a gift card to our BB site (deal going on now through 12/25!) as well as some of our other favorite shops (some local, some online): Ladies First Disc Golf, Justin Trails DGC, Glide Disc Golf, Rivercity Hobbies, and Whale Sacs!

Well if these don’t help, I don’t know what will! 🧐 just kidding, feel free to reach out to us and give us a description of that pesky person on your list and we will send back some recommendations!
Happy Holidays and Merry Discmas everyone, we hope you all stay safe, healthy and get some birdies on the course! Thanks for the continued support of our small businesses and growing family. 2021 is right around the corner, end this crazy year on a good note!
Much love,
Clint + Brooke
