DButz65 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Surprise My wife having the DJ at our wedding play HTTR when we got introduced to everyone for the first time as a couple. I'll always remember that. 98% of the people at our wedding were Skins fans so they all enjoyed it as well! Was a total surprise to me. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I can't think of any big Redskins gifts I've received, but a few years ago I made my brother a Redskins nutcracker. I basically took an army man nutcracker (because it had a helmet) and painted a redskins jersey, helmet, etc on it. I then used velcro to make interchangeable jersey numbers to include Portis and Moss. I gave that to him with a can of "Cowboys" Nuts (I just printed out their logo and put it on a can of nuts). I think I still have photos of it at home I'll try to remember to post. But pretty much that's one of the favorite gifts I've ever given:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valenski Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 The best Redskins gift i have ever received was this football from my GF she won off ebay for $215.00 for my B-day last year......It was signed by 15 of the 2007 Redskins. Above it is a Redskins neon light that i purchased off of ebay as well. [/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I got a framed picture of "The Run" from my wife for my Birthday. Personalized and signed by Riggo. It is mounted prominently in the same room in my basement where I keep my 70,000 redskins cards. I have been working on myself lately though... since Sean passed on I aggressively pursued getting as many of his cards as possible. I have the only Sean Taylor signed card that I know of, eight 1 of 1's, and a bunch of very hard to find cards. Over 240 cards all together - no dups, many x of 5, x of 10, x of 20 etc...

CallMeGreen Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 For Christmas I got cufflinks made out of one of the old orange seats at RFK. pretty badass. Without pics it's hard to imagine what these look like, other than they sound big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My traitorous Cowboy fan sister bought me my first jersey (Portis) Christmas 2005. Before you suggest it's tainted, let me point out that the first game I wore it to was the playoff win in Tampa.:point2sky It's funny when I think about it, with the piles of Redskins stuff I've acquired over the years, I haven't spent a dime on it myself. Last Christmas, my brother gave me his newspaper clips from Super Bowl XXII. Sorry for the lack of a pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljs Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My friends son has luekemia and met Mark Rypien a few months ago, and got a signed photo. Mark lives in my area and after his 3 yr old died from cancer, he is extremely active with the childrens cancer center here. Anyway, my friends son, knowing what a huge Skins fan I am, gave me the signed picture. He also made me a really cool Redskins blanket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASkins540 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Mine would have to be tickets to my first game back in '98. I was at my friend's house and my dad randomly showed up with tickets for each of us to his employer's skybox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsfan44 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I got a Redskins birthday cake from my friends at our tailgate party at RFK for the 1987 NFC Championship game that happened to be played on my 28th birthday. The cake was white with red and yellow frosting spelling out Happy Birthday and 2 small plastic Redskins helmets the size of golf balls on it. I still have those little helmets to this day. Between that and the fact that our Redskins won was the greatest birthday of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
