What to Buy For a Football Fan This Christmas?
If you’ve got a football fan in your life (or you are one yourself), you’ll know how much the beautiful game dominates every conversation, every weekend, and, let’s be honest, every spare moment. That’s why when Christmas comes around, the perfect present usually has something to do with football.
To make your life easier, we’ve pulled together a proper Christmas Gift Guide for Football Fans. Whether you’re shopping for your mate who won’t stop talking about VAR, your dad who still reminisces about “proper football in the ‘80s,” or your little one who already knows the offside rule, this list has you covered.
Football Christmas Jumpers
Football Christmas Jumpers are by far the biggest seller here at Football is Life. Often these are bought as early Christmas gifts in November (sometimes even as early as October!). This allows your lucky recipient to get plenty of use out of them over the Christmas period. Our Christmas Jumpers are ideal wearing for your Christmas night out - it’s always fun to see your mates faces’ when they’re all Arsenal fans and you walk in with our Cole Palmer Christmas Jumper!
They’re also a great choice when going to the match for one of the many festive fixtures we’re treated to. Our Football Christmas Jumpers are made from a soft blend of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, making them warm and comfortable, not like those scratchy knitted ones! Perfect for winter nights under the lights.
Of course the main reason people buy a Football Christmas Jumper from us is to give as a gift on Christmas Day. Imagine the joy on Dad’s face when he sees his favourite player on a jumper just for him! Plus, getting a Christmas Jumper as a gift means it’s perfect timing for the Boxing Day fixtures. (In my opinion - better than Christmas!)
Our Football Christmas Jumpers are unisex, so suitable for men and women, and all the designs are available in kids sizes too so the whole family can match.
We have Christmas Jumpers for loads of top teams, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Everton etc etc. but we also have some Football Jumpers that are good for any football fan - like our VAR Humbug Christmas Jumper!
Football Mugs
We get it, Christmas Jumpers aren’t for everyone, so if you’re looking for something maybe a bit cheaper then look no further than our football mug collection! They make the perfect stocking filler for a loved one or as a secret santa gift for a football loving friend or workmate.
Again we have football mugs for loads of teams like Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and more! If you can’t find the team you’re looking for, we also have mugs suitable for any football fan, like our Football is Life motto mug or our VAR Humbug Mug.
We have Christmas Football Mugs if you want to get really festive, and also a huge range of football mugs that are good for the whole year round!
All our football mugs are made from high quality ceramic and are dishwasher and microwave safe. They’re shipped in sturdy packaging with double walls for added protection. In the rare case they do get broken is transit, we’ll send out a free replacement straight away!
Football Gifts for Kids
Christmas morning is magical for little football fans. If they’re constantly kicking a ball around in the garden, staying up late for Match of the Day, or already spending a fortune on Panini stickers, a football gift is bound to make their day even more special.
At Football is Life we’ve got plenty of kids’ football Christmas jumpers that let them join in the festive fun, just like the grown-ups. Our Kids Erling Haaland Christmas Jumper is always a big hit, (all kids love a goalscorer!) but there are loads of others across different teams too.
Our Kids Christmas Jumpers are available from ages 4 to 14 and in a variety of colours. With the same great collection to choose from as our adults Christmas Jumpers, the whole family can be matching on Christmas Day!
If you don’t fancy a kids Christmas jumper, we’ve also got a wide selection of kids’ football T-shirts and hoodies that are perfect for everyday wear. They’re comfy, durable, and help young fans show off their love for the game all year round. Trust me, there’s nothing like seeing the smile on your little one’s face when they unwrap football gear with their favourite player on it!
More Football Gift Ideas
Of course, jumpers and mugs are only the start. Here are a few more football gift ideas that always go down well:
Football Artwork
Are you buying a gift for someone who doesn’t really wear football clothes? Our football art prints could be the perfect solution. From minimalist designs to colourful portraits of stadiums and players, these make thoughtful gifts that feel a bit different from the usual merch. They’re brilliant for bedrooms, offices, or even the living room (if you can get away with it!).
Football T-Shirts
For gifts that can be worn year-round, you can’t go wrong with our football T-Shirts. We stock designs inspired by cult heroes, classic kits, and football chants and songs. They’re perfect for casual days out, matchdays, or lounging about when you’re glued to the weekend fixtures.
Football Phone Cases
Even when you’re not watching the game, your phone’s probably in your hand, so why not make it football-themed? Our football phone cases cover loads of clubs and players, letting fans carry their passion everywhere they go. They’re lightweight, protective, and always a conversation starter. We have football phone cases for almost every version of Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy phone!
Final Whistle
So there you have it: whether it’s a football Christmas jumper for the festive season, a mug for the daily brew, cool kids’ gear, or gifts like art prints, T-shirts, and phone cases, you’re guaranteed to find something that hits the target at Football is Life.
And if you’re still not sure what to pick? Don’t forget you can always grab one of our Football is Life Gift Cards and let them choose for themselves. Great for last-minute shopping, that lad who you’re not sure what team he supports, or just giving the freedom to pick something perfect. It’s the ultimate no-miss gift. After all, no one knows a football fan better than… well, the football fan!
