From My Mom to Me: The inspiration for creating My Football Gift CAN

Some football teams are more than just a logo or a Sunday tradition — they’re part of your story. For me, that team has always been the San Francisco 49ers, and my love for them started with my mom.

Growing up, my mom was always rooting for the 49ers. Watching my mom cheer, wail, and celebrate every big play is where my love for the team was born. The red and gold became a symbol of shared memories.

A House Divided: 49ers vs. Bears

Of course, football wouldn’t be football without a little friendly rivalry.

While I always cheer for the San Francisco 49ers, my husband and son are devoted Chicago Bears fans. That means there’s fun trash talk, good-natured teasing, and plenty of laughs when our teams go head-to-head.

That rivalry is part of what makes football so fun.

It’s a reminder that football brings people together — even when they’re rooting for different teams. It’s about sharing the experience with the people you love, no matter whose logo is on their jersey.

Why I Created the Football CAN

I’ve always believed gifts should feel personal, not predictable. Too often, gifts are:

• Another shirt
• Another mug
• Another generic item that gets tucked away

I wanted something different — something that felt like an experience.

That’s how the U CAN Celebrate Football FAN CAN was born.

Instead of opening a box, the recipient opens a CAN — just pull the tab and celebrate the moment! Inside is a football-themed surprise designed to celebrate game day, fandom, and connection. It’s perfect for:

• Die-hard fans
• Couples or families with rival teams
• Long-distance family members
• Care packages
• Game-day party favors

The Perfect Football Gift for Any Fan

It’s not just about football — it’s about the memories that come with it.

My mom gave me my love for the San Francisco 49ers. My husband and son keep game days interesting. And now, I get to turn all of that love, rivalry, and tradition into something tangible — a gift that helps other people celebrate their own football stories.

Because the best gifts don’t just say “I got you something.”
They say “I thought about you.”
