Football related gift for 10 year old boy

11 replies

Alakazam7 · 04/12/2016 20:37

My friends son is football mad and I'm looking for a gift for him for around £20.
I've got him quite a lot of football related things in the past so having trouble finding something suitable. Would rather avoid vouchers if possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Does he support one of the top teams If so you can get pyjamas, stationery, phone cases and all sorts of stuff with some teams on.

For one of DS's friends birthday presents we got a mug of his team that was personalized with the friends name on the back of a shirt alongside shirts with the other team members on (ebay I think)

Have they got hard floors and a reasonable amount of space? You can get hover football discs that are fun. Or if he likes jigsaws there is one called Jigraphy Football grounds.

Has he got the magnetic football league table thing to keep track of the league positions?

You can get miniature stadiums to build that look pretty good, DS got his from Amazon but independent toy retailers often stock them. Old Trafford was about £18, Wembley was about £25. Might that be an idea? Though if his team is Stockport County I don't think you're going to be successful I getting that ground. Have you looked on his team's clubshop website? Might be some ideas on there, from mouse mats to pjs.

Great thanks- some brilliant ideas here. Plenty to look at when I had completely run out of ideas. Thanks again (his team is Blackburn rovers so might be limited with that!) Thanks again

Not £20 but I'm really excited about this book after hearing the author interviewed on R4 and falling for his spiel

You'll be able to find all sorts of Blackburn stuff on eBay, or the club shop will have a website. I support a L2 team and there's nothing you can't buy with the logo on these days Smile

Brilliant everyone- I've ordered a hover ball and a personalised team mug. So glad I asked. Thank you all

You're welcome Smile. My DS started being obsessed with football about 6 years ago aged 6 and no sign of his interest waning yet so this is all very familiar territory.

The club shops sell all sorts. My son has the calendar, mug, pencil case, duvet cover etc.

If he actually plays football then skins or base layers are always good. You can get decent ones from sports direct or I have a Nike outlet store nearby.

My brother lastvyear brought DS a pair of thin base layer gloves, a hat (for training in wet days, shin pads & a Nike football bag to keep them in.
