Christmas gift ideas

[Nicksmom]

Help....I need ideas for Christmas gifts for the "Fencer" on my list. Any ideas?
Remember to put where to get the item as well

Basically anything from big4ourbritches.com is a good gift.

(I wear an adult small )

lol.

A few blades from anywhere

Any ideas?

Yes. You should get him a t-shirt that says "I'm going to be an épée fencer when I grow up!"

[Fencergrl]

In my experience... Little boys who fence think fencing t-shirts are really cool. Getting equipment is nice too. Talk to his coach about what he needs.

go to www.cafepress.com and search for "fencing"......there are a billion people who sell fencing related products on there. Some of the designs are pretty nifty too.

[Go? Fencing?]

I agree, fencing t-shirts are always a hit.

How about some fencing videos?

Craig has some for sale here....

And yeah, T-Shirts are great.

Hmm...I would like one of those come to think of it.

I have yet to meet a fencer who did not appreciate equipment as a gift - I would really like the Negrini plasteron please .

How close is he to electric fencing - maybe a electric foil or two and body-cord? Maybe a lame too if Santa is feeling generous. Also t-shirts are good - the iFence one is fun. I like Absolute Fencing for purchasing equipment - but I am buying FIE at this point and cannot really help you with the quality of house-brand equipment from vendors.

Good luck Santa.

Gloves for your man. They really feel tough in a leather glove - it's like driving a stickshift.

Foam swords.

KB toys for like $5 each.

Silly.. but really fun to play with.

Based on my experience teaching many six year olds, I'd say he'd have a lot of fun with 'em. Get enough for everyone to play with him, that way he dosen't wind up smaking sister or you over the head for three hours Christmas morning.

I concur with DE about the foam swords...I actually got some from Walgreen's and my 6 and 9 year-old grandsons love them.

[Fencergrl]

Sniff... my dog ate mine after they were left out after another fencer and I were batting each other with them before Nationals.

Foam swords - all good.

My six year old son LOVES his sword - my husband and I like ours too. We even have a couple extras in case others want to join in the fray.

My boy keeps waiting to try his against a "real" fencer becuase I'm just Mom.

Don't you just love the "just a mom" bit. If they only knew the truth.

Indeed! I especially like this one.
