Need help with gift for 17 yr old niece

[setlok73]

My niece is a HUGE hockey fan. She said she wants a replica jersey for her favorite team (easy part). Here's my dilemma, I found that I can have her last name personalized on a jersey OR I can get her the jersey of her favorite player. Either way it needs to be a surprise so I can't ask her. Could I please get some opinions as which way to go? Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

 

TIA

That would be a hard choice. hmm I vote for the players name, (my DS15 said he thought that was best.)

I would say to put her name on it. Not only is it more personal but then you don't have to get a new one if her favorite player is traded. I don't know much about hockey, but with football I have had that happen and it is annoying!

Okay, so now I'm at a tie :)

 

Anyone else have thoughts on which is better?

Definitely player's name!

Definately a player's name. The value of it goes up every time he is traded.

I vote for the player's name!!!! Football is big here and wearing wearing your name on the jersey isn't as good as a player!!!

 

 

good luck

thanks everyone...looks like she's getting a players jersey.

I'd say that's the way to go. My wife has a Cubs Mark Grace jersey, and she still wears it to all the games, even though he retired with a different team.
