Whether you’re sorting last-minute gifts for Christmas, father’s day or someone’s birthday, it can be tricky to find a thoughtful present that doesn’t also break the bank.
Whether it’s an awkward secret santa present or a birthday gift for the brother-in-law you aren’t especially close to, as long as they are football mad, we have you covered.
Here is a comprehensive guide to unique football gifts from the team over at Wallsauce. Let’s get started.
Personalised Icon Football Card
Is someone in your life addicted to FIFA (or EA SPORTS FC as it’s now known)? Get them their very own icon football card that’s designed to replicate the cards that are used in the popular Ultimate Team game mode.
Most sites where these cards are available will allow you to customise the card to suit your friend or family member. Find the perfect photo, choose a suitable position and come up with some stats.
If they are a budding football superstar, then we’d recommend you be generous with their stats. However, if they are a disgrace to the five-a-side football pitch, then feel free to be as honest as you like!
Mystery Box Football Shirts
No matter if they’re a fan of Chelsea or Carlisle, the football lover in your life probably has plenty of shirts from their chosen football team. Even if they don’t, buying one of this season’s shirts can be expensive.
So, why not think a little outside the box…or rather inside a mystery box! Football shirt mystery boxes are a fantastic way for you to get them something a little different. You’re typically allowed to specify clubs or leagues to avoid when placing your order.
Get them a shirt from an exotic league or even non-league and they’re sure to catch the eye next time they turn up to football. Plus, who doesn’t love a reveal?
Football Stadium Scratch Map
If you have a friend or family member who loves to attend football matches, then this is the perfect gift for their birthday or Christmas. A stadium scratch map is the perfect addition to their bedroom or home office.
The maps typically feature every stadium in the UK. As each stadium is visited, the corresponding stadium on the map can be scratched off. This is a great way for a football lover to keep tabs on the places they’ve visited…and the stadiums they still have to visit!
Whether they’re new to live football or they’re attempting to visit all 92 league clubs, this is a great gift that they’ll love to keep updated.
Stunning Football Wall Mural
Know someone who is mad about their team? A unique way for them to show just how much they love their chosen club is with a spectacular wall mural. Whether it’s a kid’s bedroom or a dedicated man cave, a football wallpaper mural will transform a plain wall into something incredible!
At Wallsauce, we have a wide range of football wall murals for you to choose from. From dynamic action shots to illustrations of some of the UK’s most famous stadiums, you are sure to find a design that suits them.
The murals are simple to install and easy to keep clean. They are a simple but effective way to bring colour and character to a plain wall that is otherwise cold and boring. Let their passion be part of their wall decor with a unique football mural gift.
A Personalised Video from a Football Legend
If you’re unfamiliar with Cameo, then you may be unaware that you can receive personalised video messages from some of the game’s biggest names. There are pages of former and current professionals who are signed up to provide custom messages.
All you need to do is choose a player, submit information about the recipient you’d like to include and you’ll receive a video in as little as 24 hours. Each player has their fee clearly listed so there’s no awkward negotiations. Simply enter your details and they’ll do the rest.
Choose from names like Thiago Silva, Emmanuel Adebayor and Ledley King. Or, if you’re looking for a gift from someone who has been watching football for a little longer, then worry not. Players like Michael Owen, Ian Rush, Ray Parlour, Andy Cole, David Seaman, Peter Shilton and Sir Geoff Hurst are all available to purchase cameos from.
For just £35 you can receive a personalised message from Arsenal legend Nigel Winterburn!
Mystery Non League Programme Bundle
Another fun reveal gift for the non-league football fans in your life. For just a tenner, you can order a mystery bundle of non-league football programmes from clubs from around the UK. This is perfect for the memorabilia collector in your life who would never have the chance to visit all these far-flung places.
With programmes available from as far back as the 1960s, this is a wonderful way for someone you know to own small pieces of non-league football history. Plus, the mystery aspect means they’ll be able to research the teams, stadiums and games to learn more about the new additions to their collection.
Don’t just go with the usual football gifts like water bottles, air fresheners and scarves. Think outside the box and get your loved one an amazing football gift that will make their day extra special!
