Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee …

If you don’t actually play for the Celtics, then you probably can’t afford to buy Christmas presents like a replica of a 1986 NBA championship ring or a Boston Celtics Pop-A-Shot machine for the C’s fans in your life.

So here are the top 10 (fairly) affordable last-minute gift ideas for Celtics fans:

1. Two tickets in sections 306, 327 or 329 to the Celtics vs. Spurs game at the Garden on Jan. 5 ($140)

2. A bottle opener made from the old Boston Garden parquet ($78) and a Rajon Rondo bottle koozie ($7)

3. An autographed copy of “Red and Me” by Bill Russell ($125) or an autographed copy of a 1964 Sports Illustrated featuring Tommy Heinsohn on the cover ($105)

4. A 1961 Hall of Fame postcard signed by Red Auerbach ($100)

5. A Paul Pierce Inglewood High jersey ($45)

6. Boston Celtics toaster ($35)

7. A vintage Larry Bird retirement night t-shirt from 1993 ($60)

8. Celtics bathrobe ($42) and slippers ($30)

9. The Lakers vs. Celtics and the NBA Playoffs old school video game for Sega Genesis ($4) or the Shaq-Fu video game for Super Nintendo ($4)

10. Boston Celtics snuggie ($30)

Irish Coffee will be in and out over the next week and a half, so Merry Christmas to all and Happy Holidays! Continue to check Green Street for the latest on the C’s.
