Lakers holiday gift ideas: eBay style


Can't afford the new Zoom Kobe IV? Try eBay.

Struggling to find that perfect gift for the Laker fan in your life? Are you looking for something more than just a jersey or a foam finger?

Inspired by the seller who is auctioning off a $100,000 Kobe Bryant signed wooden tennis racket and dinner with Kobe at Carl's Jr., I went to the one place where you can be sure to find unique and interesting gifts for this holiday season: eBay.

In case your gift limit is slightly less than $100K, here are a few items you might want to consider bidding on:

Lakers Official Good Luck Garden Gnome - just keep it as far away from the Celtics Lawn Jockey as possible.

Lakers Small Dog Jersey Shirt - at least this best friend will agree with you that the Lakers shouldn't have signed Andrew Bynum to that extension.

Lakers Christmas Santa Hat - if Santa was a Laker, he'd definitely wear this hat...and he would let the elves get to the basket at will despite a considerable height advantage.

Lakers Reusable Grocery Bag - because everybody who's buying Hot Pockets at 3 for $5.00 wants to be reminded that Chris Mihm is making $2.5 million this season.

Lakers Hardhat- hey...it's earthquake season, you can never be too careful.

Lakers Mr. Potato Head - I hate to say it, but this bears a striking resemblance to Lamar Odom.

Lakers Lighter/Belt Buckle - suddenly my idea for a wrist watch/nail clipper combo isn't looking so far-fetched.

Kobe Bryant Game Used Shorts - each shipment comes with a complimentary bottle of Febreze.

So this holiday season, give your loved ones a gift that won't end up being re-gifted or placed delicately on top of the pile of junk in the garage.

But just in case I haven't inspired you enough, I'll let the sweet sounds of  Weird Al Yankovic take it home:
