Foldable Desktop Basketball Game*
Challenge your friends to a fun game of mini basketball.
Give yourself courtside seats for every game with our Foldable Desktop Basketball Game. This fun and foldable game is the perfect way to kill some time at the office or spice things up at home. Take your best shot by holding the lever down with your finger and letting go. The rubber ball, attached by a string, releases and shoots up to give you that perfect "nothing but net" swoosh. The brushed silver game is completely portable, and the base can be engraved with a name or message proudly displayed for everyone to see. Now you will always have the home court advantage.
The engraving is done in-house by HansonEllis, personalizing gifts since 1999. A name, a season or a short line of thanks is cut into the brushed silver base in up to two lines, so the game on the desk becomes theirs.
Give this whimsical gift to anyone who loves and appreciates a good game of hoops. It looks wonderful displayed on a desk, but folds up quickly when the boss approaches. Set it out next to our Crystal Basketball Pen Set Award or our Basketball Court Clock, and your office mates will become your biggest fans when they see the display of sports items in your office. And when you are not sure whether to work or shoot hoops, take a shot on our Magnetic Dart Board and Decision Maker and take the guesswork out of the decision making. Our Office and Desk Accessories pages hold these and many other gift ideas.
The Foldable Desktop Basketball Game is a wonderful gift for the high school graduate. If he enjoyed shooting hoops at home, he will surely miss it when he goes off to school; now he can play from the comfort of his dorm room and be reminded of those memories from home. It makes an excellent groomsmen gift too. Engrave each one with a message of thanks and give one to every man who helped you fill the stands on your wedding day.
Children will get hours of enjoyment out of it as a stocking stuffer or a birthday present, and it packs along on a road trip so they can play full court while traveling. The cheers from the backseat will make you happier than being front and center at a professional ball game.
