Calgary Flames: 15 Last Minute Affordable Christmas Gift Ideas

1. Blanket + Pillow Set

My sister actually got me this for my birthday this year and I love it. The blanket and pillow are both really soft and useful.

I use the pillow when I sleep because it’s actually very comfy. And I like to use the blanket whenever I watch TV which really means I’m watching a Calgary Flames game. Well, I try to use the blanket. But usually someone in my family steals it for themselves. Usually, that someone is my dog who likes to sleep on it. But how can you wake up a sleeping pup? It’s illegal.

My sister found this at our local Walmart and I believe it was around the $30 price range. I can’t seem to find it on the online Walmart store, but I just saw it with my own two eyes three days ago at Walmart, so I know it’s there. You might be able to find something similar at Canadian Tire.

I think most Walmart’s in Canada have all the Canadian teams for this set. So don’t worry out of city Flames fans! Walmart and Flame for Thought’s got you covered!

Estimated time: Depending on where your local Walmart is, around 30-45 minutes to drive there and back and to wrap it.

Estimated price: $30-$40.

2. Utility/Shaving bag

A great gift to give to either a brother, or your dad, or a significant other, or maybe a cousin is a shaving utility bag. Gifts are always better when they’re actually useful. This is great for traveling or even just to keep everything in at home. Because everyone likes an organized bathroom. Except my dad. Hey maybe I should get him one of these…

I actually already got him something that’s later down this list!

Walmart also has some of these that have a Calgary Flames design and they’re pretty affordable too! Maybe Canadian Tire has some too, but just in case, you can find them here or at your local Walmart.

Estimated time: 30-45 minutes

Estimated price: $29.98

3. Travel mug + regular mug

I don’t know about you, but I usually always have a travel mug with me. Except when it’s like -30 degrees Celsius with the windchill like how it was the last few weeks in Calgary. Too cold to carry a travel mug. Otherwise, there’s always one in my hands.

So why not get a travel mug with your favorite team’s logo on it? Many places have travel mugs with a Calgary Flames design on it. If you didn’t want to just stick with a travel mug, you can pair it with just a regular mug that also has some sort of Flames design on it too. Something else you can also do is get a travel mug along with that person’s favorite kind of coffee beans, or favorite tea.

And honestly, I’ve seen some Flames travel mugs at my local Dollarama for like $3. I’m not sure about mugs, but they definitely have these at Walmart, Canadian Tire, Bestbuy, even Staples, Amazon, the NHL shop, basically anywhere. Of course, you probably won’t be able to order anything and have it arrive on time, so one of those first four will have to do for now. In case you don’t want to go to Dollarama to try to find this (honestly, I would, you might be able to save around $10), but you can find a travel mug here from Walmart and like I said, you can probably find just a regular mug from the dollar store. I also know that Jersey City has some as well, and even FanAttic stores! But if not, Canadian Tire also just has a two pack mug here.

Estimated time: Depending on the different places you’ll go to, it could take over an hour.

Estimated price: $20.00-$30.00.

What you can also do is Staples has this travel mug here that is filled with chocolate, and who doesn’t love some tasty treats? They also have six different mugs here that are also filled with chocolate. It is $70 BUT you can give these to multiple different people! Killing two birds with one stone. Or in this case, six birds with one trip. And by birds I mean people. As in to give gifts to. Moving on.
