At The Game we focus our products on the needs of people who love cricket – a game that they have probably loved for many years and forms part of who they are. We all know a cricket tragic! But what to buy them as a gift? Besides The Game wallets we have compiled a list of gifts we think hit the spot for the cricket passionate in your life:
1. Book: Eleven Bats, Anthony ‘Harry’ Moffit. Amazon $22.00
A refreshing and compelling story. Anthony 'Harry' Moffitt spent more than twenty years in the SAS. An improvised game of cricket was often the circuit-breaker Harry and his team needed after the tension of operations. He began a tradition of organising matches wherever he was sent. It's a book about combat, It's a book about the toll that war takes on soldiers and their loved ones. And it's a book about the healing power of cricket. A great read.
2. Art: Paulette Farell https://www.paulettefarrell.com/ Prints from $45.00, Originals from $180.00
We love UK based Paulette’s unique style and capture of many aspects of cricket. We use Paulette’s artwork on our gift cards, but also think her paintings and prints make great gifts for those who have a deep appreciation for cricket and love to see it expressed in art form.
