So if you have a loved one who enjoys regular games of bridge with their friends, why not get them a gift to encourage them even more.

As there are plenty of things that any avid bridge player would love to receive.

And to help you choose the right one, I've put together the following list of gift ideas for bridge players that should cover all the bases.

  • KEM Arrow bridge playing cards.
  • Luck Lab leather playing cards case.

1. A High Quality Set Of Playing Cards

Every bridge player could do with a deck of high quality playing cards to play with, as these feel better in the hand, are easier to deal, and will see them through many more games.

So our first gift idea for bridge players is to treat them to a set of the KEM Arrow bridge playing cards.

As these are made from plastic, which makes them easy to handle, flexible, less likely to bend or tear, and extremely durable.

2. A Leather Case For Their Playing Cards

Once they have a decent deck of playing cards, they'll want to store them safely when not in use.

So getting them the Luck Lab leather playing card case is another great gift idea.

As this not only gives them a nice resting place, the leather case looks super cool with the four card suits on the front too.

This leather case would also make a great gift for a poker player.

3. Some Duplicate Bridge Boards

If your loved one is into playing duplicate bridge, then they'll really appreciate a set of duplicate bridge boards.

As these are used to store the 4 hands from each 52 card deck that were played exactly as they were, to be scored later.

And for a set they'll be proud of, check out the Baron Barclay Imperial Plus duplicate bridge boards, which contains 8 boards for them to use.

4. Bidding Boxes To Keep Important Information Secret

Another vital piece of equipment used in duplicate bridge games is a bidding box.

As these are used to hold information (bids) from players to teammates about the strength and weaknesses of others hands, without having to speak and be overheard.

So getting them a good one as a gift will be useful for sure, with the Baron Barclay Bid Pal bidding boxes being a top choice.

5. Artistic Score Pads To Impress Their Friends

Bridge players always need extra score pads to use to keep the score as they play.

So they make for handy gifts, but instead of getting a bog standard scoring pad, how about going for something more artistic instead?

As the Caspari Great Wave bridge set contains 2 score pads that have a beautiful design on the cover, and also comes with two packs of playing cards too.

So it's a nice little gift package to give to a bridge player.

6. A Nice Pen For Keeping Score

And this brings us on to the next gift idea for bridge players, which is to get them a fancy pen to keep score with.

As a pen is a lovely keepsake that makes for a great gift anyway, and can be used for many other things too.

So something like the Montblanc Pix black ballpoint pen should put a smile on their face.

7. A Trump Marker So They Don't Forget What's Been Called

Remembering which suit has been called trumps is important when playing bridge, and one way to make it easy for everyone is by using a trump marker.

As this way they only have to glance at it to see what the trump cards are, and can save their grey matter to use on more important strategic thinking.

So these can make for nice stocking stuffer gift ideas, with the Luck Lab premium trump marker being a very nice looking one.

8. A Folding Card Table For Their Bridge Games

It's always good to have a nice card table to play bridge on, where four people can all get around it and have easy access to the cards.

And these tables are usually fold away ones, as they can then be stored out of the way until the next game of bridge occurs.

So if your loved one is lacking a suitable table to play on, you could treat them to the Flash Furniture folding card game table.

As this one is a decent size for playing on, folds away easily, and has a green felt topping as well as placeholders for their cards and drinks.

9. A Felt Table Cover To Protect Their Table

If your favourite bridge player already has a wooden table they use for playing their games on, then you could get them a felt cover for it.

As this will both protect their table from scuffs, scratches, and any damage, while also making the cards run across the surface easier.

So check out the Yellow Mountain Imports felt table cover for one that is high quality and durable.

10. A Bridge Rules Booklet For Beginners

Bridge can be a very complicated and confusing game when you are still a beginner and trying to learn the ropes.

So if your loved one hasn't been playing for long, you could get them the Bridge At A Glance booklet as a gift.

As this has all the rules and info they need to refer to as they play, especially when it comes to bidding.

11. A Bridge Card Game For Beginners

Another fun gift idea for a beginner bridge player is to get them the aBRIDGEd: A Revolution In Bridge game to play.

As this is a simplified version of bridge that does away with the complex bidding system, allowing players to pick up the basics of the game quickly and easily.

So it's a good one to get them up to speed before dipping their toe in deeper.

12. A Book To Improve Their Skills

I Love This Game

If you're buying a gift for a more experienced and masterful bridge player, then a book that can improve their skills and knowledge is always a good choice.

And there are plenty of books out there that cover all sorts of skill levels and types of bridge to go for.

However, one that could be a good choice is I Love This Game by Sabine Auken, which is written by a former world champion talking through each hand she played to win her world title.

So they'll pick up some tips from a true master by reading through this book.

13. A Fun Story Book About Bridge

Another book that makes for a great gift for any bridge player is Bridge In The Menagerie by Victor Mollo.

This is part of a series that looks at bridge in a humorous way through matches between cartoon characters, and remains very popular among those in the bridge community.

So it's a book they'll enjoy reading through and one that will put a smile on their face.

14. A Subscription To The Bridge World Magazine

A bridge player will always be wanting to improve by brushing up on their skills and game play, and one way they can do this is by reading The Bridge World magazine.

As this monthly magazine comes full of great tips and advice for bridge players, from bidding to defense to declarer play, as well as the latest methods, systems, and hot topics in the bridge community. 

So our final gift idea for a bridge player is to treat them to a The Bridge World magazine subscription which will keep them in the loop for the next 12 months.

Giving them something enjoyable to read, and helping them to improve their game at the same time.

Rounding Up

Bridge is a strategic and challenging game that can take time to master, but once you do it is really enjoyable and fun to play.

As not only does it give you a mental workout, working in teams makes it a really sociable activity too, which is great for people as they get older.
