This personalised print totally captures the magic of kicking that winning shot! This is handprinted on quality paper (frame not included).
The are lots of match diaries out there, but this one is particularly lovely. It has all sorts of prompts for journaling inside, so it will become a lovely keepsake.
Subbuteo - the playing of football by the flicking of fingers! - is great for kids aged 6+. This is the UEFA version, but there are several others, including the England Main Game.
This football pitch playmat is great for younger footie fans. It comes in two different sizes:
80x120cm
133x195cm (price shown above)
This little LED football light can be personalised. There are three different designs to choose from. It has seven different light colours and makes a great night light.
This may be the only time a football referee wielding a red card will be popular with your son or daughter!!
This is genius! A foldable football, perfect for parents sick of getting lumbered with the ball when their kids have finished having a kickabout!!
This 899-piece set will keep football-crazy kids happy and occupied when they can't get outside to play their beloved game. It's perfect for kids aged 10+.
There is a 687-piece Manchester United Lego football, but there is also a Chelsea FC one and a Liverpool one, Manchester City... and Tottenham Hotspur. So hopefully, there is a Lego football that your footie fan will covet. Suitable for kids aged 12+
This is a small version of the classic table football (Fussball) game. It's in a lovely wooden frame and fits neatly onto any table. Great for younger kids to play with. Older kids might want something more sturdy. There are two sizes:
20inch
27inch (price above)
Fever Pitch, written by Nick Hornby in the 90s, is now a modern classic and totally captures the all-encompassing love of the game from a fan's perspective. This is a great read for tweens and teens.
I'll be honest, one of my favourite features of this football table is that it is foldable!! That aside, it's a nice sturdy table football game that has an almost perfect 5* review rating.
The Little People BIG DREAMS series just keeps getting better and better. Marcus Rashford is among the most inspirational footballers, both for his on-pitch skills and incredible social conscience and activism. This book is great for footie fans aged 4+
I believe it was Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, who named David Beckham 'Golden Balls' back in the day. Now you can give your little football star their own personalised golden ball!
We Print Balls also do team footballs (the only licenced supplier in the UK) for all the big football clubs.
Now this is rather special. Mr Memorabilia specialises in authenticated signed memorabilia. They have a whole host of signed photos of football stars. I thought I'd showcase Harry Kane because he's Harry Kane!
TOFFS have been handmaking classic replica football kits since the 90s. They have got a huge selection from different clubs around the UK. This is a classic Arsenal Football Shirt. Love the idea of this for kids into style and football.
Personally, I'd rather watch paint dry... but if you have a football-obsessed son or daughter, you might find that this book becomes their bible. It's been a best-seller for years. This is the 10th-anniversary version.
This is a lovely gift for younger football fans. They can colour it in with the pens in the set... and then take it outside for a kickabout.
This is so clever! A popup goal and target shot practice set. Pack it up, then pop it up, and kids can play anywhere. Also great for smaller gardens when you don't want a permanent goal cluttering up the space.
This football heartbeat hoodie totally sums up the passion for the game for true football fans and footie stars of the future. There are six different colourways.
