Anyone planning to give a poker table with a custom design on the felt as an end-of-year gift should budget around six weeks for delivery, since both the table and the felt are made to order for each purchase. That is exactly why giving a poker table as a gift works differently from most other presents. However appealing the idea is, the purchase needs a bit more planning than something you can still grab off a shelf three days before Christmas.
Why a poker table makes a good end-of-year gift
A poker table is not a gift that disappears into a cupboard after a few weeks. Pokertafelshop.nl's tables are built with a sturdy frame, a high-quality faux leather rail and stainless steel cup holders, and hold up for years under normal use. On top of that, every table comes with a standard two-year warranty and a thirty-day trial period at home before the purchase is final. For a gift of this size, that is not a small detail: it removes much of the risk that usually comes with a large, expensive present. If the table does not turn out to be the perfect fit, there is still room to put that right.
A full poker table as a gift for family or a group of friends
The most common way to give a poker table is not as a surprise from one person, but as a shared gift from a family, a group of friends, or a group of colleagues who already play together. That also fits the price: splitting a table between five or ten people who play regularly together quickly makes the cost per person manageable.
Within the poker tables collection, a few options stand out for this kind of gift. The Luxe Professional Poker Table comes in purple, black and red, seats ten players plus a dealer, and has adjustable multi-colour LED lighting, which makes for a memorable moment the first time it gets switched on after unwrapping. If the group often has two people managing the pot, the double drop box version is more practical. For anyone who prefers a timeless look without LED lighting, the Classic Luxe Professional Poker Table with its wooden frame and casino cloth is a calmer alternative. And for a group that plays seriously and often with a large crowd, the Grand Prestige Luxe Poker Table, seating twelve players, is the table equivalent of a gift nobody forgets quickly.
A personal gift without giving a whole table
Not everyone has the budget or the space for a full table, and that is not necessary either. For someone who already owns a poker table, or for anyone who prefers to give something smaller, the accessories collection is a more logical starting point. A set of COPAG playing cards, the same 100% plastic cards used in casinos, is a gift any poker fan can use right away. A poker chair with chrome armrests and an adjustable seat height is a slightly bigger, more practical gift for a group that wants to add matching chairs step by step.
A corporate gift: a poker felt with your own logo
One category that often gets overlooked during the holidays is the corporate end-of-year gift. Companies that want to thank clients or staff in December usually look for something that stands out without feeling impersonal. Pokertafelshop.nl now makes that possible quite literally: in the Custom Felt Studio, you upload your own design, such as a company logo, and see immediately how it looks on the table before ordering. The result is a 260 by 120 centimetre poker table with LED lighting, cup holders, a chip tray and a rake box, delivered with a felt that no other table has.
That makes the table suitable as a lasting corporate gift for a management team, as an eye-catcher in a staff room, or as part of a recurring December event with clients. Because the table and felt are made to order, the roughly six-week delivery time mentioned earlier applies here too: for a corporate gift that needs to be in place in December, early November is the moment to order.
When to order in time for the holidays
For a custom poker felt, the math is simple: a six-week delivery time means an order placed in early November arrives sometime in the first half of December. Wait until mid-November or later, and the odds of delivery before Christmas start to shrink. For the standard models without a custom felt design, production is usually faster, but the same rule still applies: the earlier you order, the more certain delivery before the holidays becomes. If you are unsure about the current delivery time for a specific model, Pokertafelshop.nl's customer service can give the most accurate answer, rather than relying on a guess.
Seeing it in person before giving it away
A poker table is a large purchase to give sight unseen. Anyone who would rather see in person what the money is being spent on, or who wants to bring the recipient along to choose a colour or model together instead of keeping it a surprise, can visit one of Pokertafelshop.nl's showrooms in Amsterdam or Olst. The tables are set up there so the LED lighting, the rail material and the size can all be judged in real life, which is always harder to do from a photo on a website.
Frequently asked questions
Is a poker table a good gift for someone who doesn't play often?
It can be, as long as the recipient enjoys spending time with a group. The table works just as well for other card games or as a reason to get together with friends or family more often. If you are not sure, a smaller gift from the accessories range, such as a set of playing cards, is a safer first step.
Can I have a poker table printed with my company logo?
Yes, through the Custom Felt Studio you can upload your own design or logo and see it directly on the table before ordering. This makes the table suitable as a corporate gift or as a lasting feature in an office or staff room.
How far in advance should I order a poker table with a custom felt for Christmas?
Plan for about six weeks of delivery time, since the table and felt are made to order. For delivery before Christmas, early November is the last point at which you can order without rushing.
What if the gift doesn't turn out to be the right fit?
Every poker table from Pokertafelshop.nl comes with a thirty-day trial period and a two-year warranty. That gives the recipient room to actually use the table before the purchase becomes final.
Is shipping available across Europe for a gift?
Yes, Pokertafelshop.nl offers fast shipping throughout Europe.
Can I see the poker table in person before giving it as a surprise?
Yes, Pokertafelshop.nl's showrooms in Amsterdam and Olst have the tables set up to view in person, including the LED lighting and the finish of the rail.
