A Gift for Her

A Gift for Her


  Usually when we are talking about poker gifts for somebody in the family, it is generally the relatives who passionately argue that they go to Hooters for the high quality food and big screen televisions. With poker becoming more and more attractive to those who fall squarely into the "dainty" category, there are more products out there that appeal to the female poker hobbyist.



  One of the more innovative products to hit the market comes from the website www.pokerdivas.com - an online outlet for products that cater specifically to ladies poker demographic. Just in time for Christmas they have released their Texas Holdem 101 playing cards.



  This product is geared to people who are seeing the game all over cable television and wondering if they can jump on the bandwagon, or players who have been away from the game so long they couldn't pick Phil Hellmuth out of a police lineup dominated by Oompa Loompa's.



  This deck helps the player along in a manner that anybody who has ever used a crib sheet for a history test would recognize. Each card has tips and strategy advice written on it so that the player can learn in a manner other than the traditional (and very expensive) trial and error that has shaped most players.



  According to the founder of Poker Prima Divas (www.pokerdivas.com), Ellen Leikind, the cards are a good way for women to get together, have fun, and learn the game of poker. The company's slogan pretty much says it all: "Learn poker with the girls so they can play with the boys."



  Each pack of cards costs $10 and is a great way to stuff the stocking of the women in you life. For those guys who thought power tools, or a vacuum cleaner were innovative gift ideas in the past, this won't make up for those past mistakes, but if combined with something that sparkles, you will be well on your way.
