6)Not Just Chips!--- Chips are great, tasty, yummy. But chips are a SIDE dish. At least plan to do hot dogs or sandwiches with chips

7)Beyond Beer. Most people wouldn’t consider it a tailgate without a cold beer or two, but be responsible and considerate, offer tasty nonalcoholic choices other than cola. Sodas in flavors like Strawberry or Kiwi add a festive air to proceedings.

8)Clean Up: The one thing everyone forgets, and regrets forgetting: Garbage bags! Bring whole box, makes for easy clean up, and throw in a couple of rolls of paper towels.

9)Partys need Party Favors! Stop at party store for cheap, fun decorations and novelties!

5) If they tailgate they can always use new tailgating stuff Example BBQ, new cooler, Portable chair, They always need to be replaced evry year. 6) If buying sports equipment make sure you know if they are right handed or left handed. Right handed Golf clubs does a lefty any good at all. 7) If they play golf they need golf shoes, tees and balls are always needed as balls get lost and shoes get very stinky when they get old. 8) Lastly you can't go wrong with a sports gift basket, it always gets a smile.
