Los Angeles Kings
The loyalty of Kings fans is a specific type of loyalty. It is not fair-weather. It weathered the lean years, the rebuilds, losses that stung far too deeply, and came out the other side with two Stanley Cup banners hanging from the rafters of Crypto.com Arena and a fanbase that doesn’t need to be convinced once, twice, three times…but always. Shopping for that person can be easy if you know what you’re doing. The problem? Most gift guides don’t.
It’s why we put this collection together. Because Kings fans deserve better than a basic black and silver mug you can find on an aisle in an airport. We thought about the person who has watched Wayne Gretzky Arena highlights so many times they’ve lost count, who remember the Miracle on Manchester not like it’s history but like its religion, who know exactly how important Dustin Brown was to that franchise and don’t need us to explain it to them. That level of specificity means something to us. It should mean something to you too.
We’ve personally curated everything in this collection. If it was easy to find or had the logo on it and we were satisfied that felt like enough, it doesn’t appear here. We challenged ourselves on whether a true Kings fan would want this, if it would get a genuine reaction or a polite one. Everything that earned a ‘nice aunt Sally bought this’ reaction got cut. All that’s left are gifts we would package up ourselves and know would be accepted enthusiastically.
Whether you’re buying for someone who has lived and breathed Los Angeles their whole life, fell in love with hockey later in life and happened to fall hard for this team or have held season tickets since before you were aware this team existed, this gift guide works. The occasion doesn’t matter either. Birthday, Christmas, heck even a playoff run that has you feeling lovey dovey towards your nearest and dearest. All that matters is that you give them something as meaningful as how much they actually care about their team.
Like we said, Kings fans don’t just cash in their loyalty. They are loyal. Every gift in this collection has been selected to offer that same level of quality. Considered. Specific. Worth wrapping.
