Many young lads nowadays are absolutely football mad. Whether it’s watching football, playing football, or playing a FIFA or Pro Evo, if your son lives and breathes the beautiful game, then you’ll probably want his birthday or Christmas gifts to satisfy his love of football.
Here are a few ideas to get you going – if you’re stuck, why not visit the Wicked Uncle website, which not only has loads of football gifts but loads of gadgets and other toys too.
Football is now so much more than just a ball and a goal! There are now loads of different kind of football gadgets that you can get that will feed your son’s love of the beautiful game.
From specially designed keepie-uppie balls to “air disks” which float along a hard surface, there are a load of different kinds of football-themed gadgets which your son is sure to love.
Their team’ latest strip or merchandise
Football kits can be a little pricey nowadays which means that young lads can be priced out of saving and spending their pocket money on these. If your son religiously follows a particular club then he will have likely highly anticipated the release of the new season’s kit and would love nothing more than to own it himself!
Alternatively, many Premier League clubs now have other team-themed merchandise which extends further than just the strips. You can now get hoodies, tracksuits and other accessories which are classily embellished with club crest and colours.
Vouchers to use on Xbox Live or PlayStation Store
If your son loves playing on FIFA Ultimate Team, then why not consider buying him some vouchers to use on this? Via their console, they can purchase additional packs which gives them access to new and better players and perks which they can use to their benefit in-game. Ordinarily, they would need to play and earn points to buy these, but vouchers will allow them to bypass this process and automatically get some new players!
Go to a game!
What better way to indulge your son’s biggest interest than by actually going to a football match? Mid-week games can be particularly cheap and good for availability, but weekend games tend to be much better in terms of atmosphere.
If you can’t get to a game, then most clubs also offer stadium tours which are not only a great opportunity to explore the stadium but also learn a lot about the club’s history and inner workings. From the changing rooms to the press room, there are plenty of interesting places that you will get access to, and plenty of great pictures for them to share with their friends on social media!
If travelling elsewhere is out of the question, why not buy him a few Now TV passes which he can use to watch some of his team’s key fixtures throughout the season? You can choose from day, week and month pass, and these can be redeemed at a time of his choosing.
