Something every UConn fan needs is a basketball jersey!

Shopping for a fan who watches a lot of games from home?

This University of Connecticut throw blanket is the perfect thing to cozy up on the couch with in front of the TV during games.

#8: Framed National Champions Newspaper

If your giftee is a long time, die hard UConn basketball fan, this next gift idea will have an extra special meaning to them.

A gift commemorating what is probably the most magical year in UConn basketball history - 2014, when both the men’s and women’s team won the national championship - is a guaranteed win when it comes to shopping for Huskies fans.

A framed newspaper is something that beautifully captures the magic, nostalgia, and excitement of an event. It’s perfect for a game room, den, or fan cave, too.

Wherever it’s displayed, fans will love being able to hang this up and look at it whenever they want!

#10: Greatest Plays Leather Coasters

For another drink related gift but also one with some sentimentality, definitely check out these awesome coasters from Etsy.

These illustrate some of the most iconic plays in UConn basketball history from some of the program’s most incredible moments - national championships, final four appearances, conference championships, and of course - the women’s team’s dynasty from 2013-2016.

The top photo is a set for women’s team and the bottom photo is a set for the men’s team.

Each coaster outlines the play, when in the game it occurred, the date, and the circumstance of each game (championship, final four, etc.) to fully paint a picture of the moment.

This is a beautifully made and incredibly unique gift. Die hard fans who love dissecting individual plays and can recite player names and numbers from years ago will absolutely love it!
