Cricket but Different
Cricket related gifts with a difference!
Cricket related gifts with a difference!
It was when I came across base-ball and ice-hockey puck bottle openers in the States when the lightbulb moment was there. But rather than cutting balls in half; that is what you see elsewhere; I thought the generous hold of a full size cricket ball is how it should be!
Suddenly you have an idea and you realise what's next? Do I make a few and use myself and give to family, relatives and friends on birthdays and at Christmas or shall I do something different? Well the answer is here thanking those who helped and inspired.

It all started with making real cricket ball bottle openers after I saw baseballs and ice hockey pucks changed into bottle openers and thought ............ I can do this with cricket balls!
During a long time of playing and enjoying cricket I have been looking for appropriate gifts in relation to "The Beautiful Game".
Well I did think that was not that difficult, other than to find out that not many 'original' gifts were available!
That was the moment I thought of "Cricket but Different" - using cricket items as we know them best but changing them into
something .......... different!
Have a look for yourself and see what takes your fancy - all items are (small) stock items, but if you are after larger quantities just get in touch or if you have an idea just shout
"How's that"!
I'm working on new ideas and different ways of bringing you new products all the time so if you cannot find anything just now come back and have another look any time soon.
I Am Han, a sport fanatic, cricket and ice hockey in particular, I am Dutch, living in the UK with my wife Chris, I am happily retired and love the time I have doing what I am doing - making things like you find on the Cricket but Different website. Always thinking of something different .......!
