Hanukkah is coming to an end and Christmas is just around the corner. And you totally forgot to buy gifts? No worries, we’ve got some quick internet-friendly ones to snag:
The latest sports books
For adults
The latest John Feinstein book. ‘Where nobody knows your name: Life in the minor leagues of baseball’
Feinstein never fails to be a solid read and it’s not available until March 15, so a pre-ordered gift certificate doesn’t look like a last-minute fix.
For kids
L. Jon Wertheim’s ‘The Rookie Bookie’. Math, sports, stats and a story woven all into one.
For chefs or people who just want to eat like a pro athlete
Cooking with Amar’e: 100 Easy Recipes for Pros and Rookies in the Kitchen
For the workout buff
Classpass or Passport: Because joining a gym after the holiday season is completely predictable, but trying out a bunch of different classes is a good non-committal way to shake up your workout after the new year. Class Pass and Passport allow users to try out different cycling, yoga and other types of fitness passes throughout their city (though it’s only available in select ones.)
Mavericks fans

No, not Rajon Rondo himself. But seriously, the easiest gift ever: Rondo Mavericks jerseys are coming to a NBA store near you soon. Or for Boston fans, who want to remember the beloved point guard — a steep discount might be available too.

Ugly Christmas sweaters are the perfect thing to put on while watching the NBA on Christmas, or at least for parties until the New Year. And it’s inevitable that next year there will be an ugly Christmas sweater party too. Available for NBA fans here, MLB fans here and NHL fans here.
For anxious NFL Fans
Brookstone
Snacking your way through the playoffs is better when it’s done on a team-themed helmet, which is available at Brookstone.
Target
NFL helmet pillows from Target. A fun fact about Target: It is chock-full of team merchandise. So in that list minute trip to pick up toilet paper for your 10 relatives suddenly coming to town, there’s probably some sports-themed gear for someone near the register.
Tickets to see Mike Trout
Baseball fans receive an incredible present every single time Mike Trout takes the field. And maybe the baseball fan in your life doesn’t realize it yet, but he or she should get out to the ballpark to watch Mike Trout play, as ballplayers like Trout really don’t come around very often. Check the schedule: There’s a good chance the Angels are coming to a city near you this season, and some clubs are already selling single-game tickets.
