I want to buy my dad a Poker Chip set for Christmas,,,and do not know the first thing about Poker. He does not have a set, but LOVES Poker. And he has been talking about getting everything to play it with his friends. I don’t how many chips I need to get or anything. So please help me out. Also, know of any places that I can the really nice ones like wood or leather cases w/personalizing? Thanks!
Clay or composite are the best. Please review this link for info on costs and what to look for both in quality (typically by weight – 9, 11.5 or 13.5 grams) and quantity (300 or 500),and by cost ($25 to over $150) it will help you to narrow your field first.

To help you with quntity:
How Many Poker Chips To Buy
Depending on the size of your game, you’re going to need to stock up on different amounts of chips. I recommend:
–200 Chips for 3-4 players
–400 Chips for 5-6 players
–600 Chips for 7-8 players
–800 Chips for 8-10+ players

Then finally a place to get them. You cannot beat online prices, so you need a brand or brands to look for. You want a recommendation?”

500 Super Diamond 11.5 Gram Metal-Core Poker Chips
These poker chips are the metal-core composite variety, which I actually like the best, even though clay is the most popular chip variety these days. I like the feel of these durable chips and I find it easier to shuffle and play with them than clay chips. This set also includes 2 decks of plastic playing cards, 5 dice, a dealer button, and comes in an Aluminum Poker Chip Case. The 5 color chips aren’t printed with a value, so each can stand for whatever amount you choose each night.

They are not a lot of money. If you are wealthy, then this:

They are only $925 plus shipping.
So, find what you think he would like (ask his friends!) then I suggest EBAY. FInd some to bid and the cheapest “buy-it-now” set that you want, put cheaper bids on the biddable ones, then, if you do not get any and time runs short, do the buy it now one!
Have a great time shopping!!!!
