What should I bring for kids on sports trip?

My daughters football team (10 year olds) are playing a cup final in a couple of weeks. I'm one of a few 'responsible adults' going on the coach with them. I would like to give them all something for the trip to add to the occasion, but would love some ideas please? Maybe fruit shoot and haribos, or something to keep like a key ring. I don't have a lot of money so maybe just a couple of pounds each.

I'd love to hear any ideas please.

Could you get pictures from the trip and make a postcard size collage on something like Snap Fish then pop them in a cheap frame each. It would be after the event rather than before but a nice keep safe.

Oh God do not give them fruit shoot and Haribo on the coach unless you like cleaning up vomit and having already excited kids bouncing off the walls.

I dont think they need anything as playing in the football match is already a big enough occasion but if you feel the need a water bottle each could be an idea, should be cheap enough to get one each with their shirt number on etc. But that should be the club paying for it not you.

Haha yes, fair point. Thanks, they already have the personalised water bottles. I just didn't want to turn up empty handed

For our rugby tour one of the parents made sweet cones from cellophane, tied with ribbon of the club colours. They also printed out and stuck on the club badge. Kids loved them.

But you are giving your time, to enable them to go.
You don't have to buy them presents. That would be weird.
