A shopping blog of cool gift ideas

Now that we've settled into the new football season, it's time to take a look at some of the best gifts you can give the football fanatic in your life. Of course, the best way to shop for a true fan is by team. Good thing we make that easy with our NFL team fan shops.

Remember: If you see a piece of great fan gear, there's a really good shot they make it for his or her favorite team (just click through to the online store). Or, if you need some ideas to get started, here are a few of my favorites from the season.

Foam fingers? So old-school. Try these Foamhead mascot heads on for size. The hottest NFL gift around? That's a no brainer: the new Brett Favre jersey. And for those who haven't given up the dream, there's always Madden '09. Last but not least, a humongous Fathead wall decal with the appropriate NFL logo should go well with the shrine he's building in the basement.

Foamheads San Diego Chargers Team Mascot Hat starting at $34.99.
