Christmas

Gift for Football Mad 7yo ideas needed.

My 7yo nephew would like 'anything to do with football' for Christmas. This has me stumped- doesn't football just need a ball and not much else?

I obviously have a great deal to learn (and no doubt DS will bring me up to speed when he is a bit older).

In the mean time can anyone give me any pointers please?

Just to complicate things I am on a tight budget (groan) of £10- £15.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Does he support a specific team? Cause you could get him something to do with that team?

Goalie gloves, Match Attax cards, Football Club annual, a football. If you know which club he supports look on their website or a sports shop to see what gifts they do - usually mugs, glasses, hats, scarves etc etc

annuals.

or shoot or match.

all on buy one get one at the mo. so if you have another child you can get 2 pressies.

I can guarantee that he would love an anuual.

Annuals are definitely a hit, I think my football mad 8 year old would probably be happy if all he got for Christmas was the Match annual!

You can also sometimes get cheap subscriptions to Match magazine, I bough him a 10 week one for £10 on his birthday.

Sports Direct is good for football merchandise if you know what team he supports.

If he plays football does he need new shinpads/goalie gloves/etc?
