Soccer Gifts

Soccer gifts go wrong in a predictable way. The generic ones, the scarf and the ball with a club crest on it, get opened politely and then live in a closet, because they say something about the sport rather than about the player. The ones that get kept carry a name, a number or a season on them. That is the whole distinction on this page, and it is why the three pieces that sell here are a ball with a senior's name engraved into the panels, a glass with a coach's name on it, and a bottle with a player's name down the side. Most of what is here is personalized free, engraved by hand in our Monroe, Connecticut workshop, and shipped in 1 to 2 business days.

How to Choose a Soccer Gift

Answer one question first and most of the page sorts itself out. Are you buying for the player, for the coach, or for a senior night. Those are three different gifts and the mistake is buying the coach gift for a player because it was the nicest looking thing on the shelf.

Buying for the coach is the one case where you should leave this page. Thirteen of the thirty items here are coach gifts, and we run a dedicated Soccer Coach Gifts collection that carries all of them plus more. The Soccer Coach Trophy Glass at $44.99 is the one that sells, and if the whole team is going in together the Personalized Soccer Coach Team Tumbler and the Soccer Coach Cooler at $49.99 are built for a group gift.

For a player, put the name and the number on it rather than the sport. A soccer ball is not a gift. A soccer ball with a name laser engraved into the panels is. The Signature Series Personalized Soccer Ball at $39.99 takes three separate lines across three panels for a name, a team and a message, in a Medium or a Large, and the engraving is permanent rather than printed on. The Personalized Soccer Player Water Bottle at $39.99 does the same job at a lower price, engraved with the name and the jersey number inside a soccer ball graphic, in twelve colors, holding 32 ounces and keeping it cold for 24 hours.

Senior night is its own occasion and it has a deadline. This is the single biggest soccer gifting moment of the year and it lands in one evening, usually in October for a fall season. Three pieces here are built for it. The Personalized Senior Night Soccer Ball at $39.99 is the one families actually buy. The Personalized Senior Night Soccer Water Bottle at $39.99 runs the player's name down the side with a second line you write. The Match Day Personalized Soccer Toiletry Bag at $39.99 is the sideways one, embroidered with the player's initials and sized for the dorm room they are about to leave for. Order well before the date, because engraving is made to order.

Check whether the gift is engraved or embroidered, because it changes what fits. The hard goods are laser engraved, which gives you clean permanent text on metal, glass and the ball panels. The canvas pieces are embroidered with thread, which is why they come with a thread color list rather than a font list. The Soccer Duffle Bag at $99.99 comes in four bag colors with a long list of thread colors, and the Pitch Day Soccer Cooler at $44.99 comes in three cooler colors and sixteen threads. Match the thread to the team kit and it reads as team gear rather than as a monogram.

For a team or a whole squad, price per head is the real constraint. Sixteen players changes the maths completely. The Superstar Keychain at $17.99 is the only piece here priced for a full squad, and it comes in a soccer style alongside basketball and baseball. Above that, the Hat Trick Hydration bottle at $34.99 gives you sixteen colors and six designs to work through, which is enough variety that sixteen of them do not look like a bulk order.

A few things here are for the fan rather than the player, and they are not the same buyer. The World Cup Decanter Set at $129.99 pairs a soccer-ball-shaped decanter with two whiskey glasses, and it is aimed squarely at an adult who watches rather than plays. The Custom Sport Plaque at $38.99 takes a team photo and custom text, which suits an end-of-season gift for a parent. Neither is a gift for a fifteen year old on the team.

How Much Should a Soccer Gift Cost?

Who you are decides this more than what you are buying. A teammate spends under twenty. A parent buying a senior night gift lands around forty, which is where nearly everything on this page sits. A family gift or a team going in together on one coach present is where it climbs past a hundred.

Who Are You Buying For?

A senior playing their last home game. Buy the Personalized Senior Night Soccer Ball and put the graduation year on it. It is the piece families on this page choose more than any other, and the reason is that a ball is the object the whole four years were about. If they are heading to college and you want something they will use rather than display, the Match Day Personalized Soccer Toiletry Bag was designed for exactly that handover.

A coach, at the end of a season. Go to Soccer Coach Gifts rather than working from this page, because that is where all twenty three coach pieces live. If the parents are collecting, the group gift usually lands on the cooler or the keepsake box. If it is from one family, the Soccer Coach Trophy Glass at $44.99 is the safe choice.

A younger player, still in the sport-obsessed phase. This is the one case where a wall piece beats a keepsake. The Personalized Soccer Sign is a laser-cut soccer ball with their name across it, and at the 12 or 14 inch size it is priced as a normal birthday gift. Pair it with the Superstar Keychain at $17.99 if you need a second smaller thing.

A player who travels for club or academy soccer. Gear beats keepsakes for this one, because they are living out of a bag most weekends. The Soccer Duffle Bag at $99.99 holds 50 litres with a water-resistant bottom for muddy sidelines, and the Golden Boot Caddy at $49.99 is the dedicated cleat bag that keeps the boots out of everything else.

A whole team, on a fixed budget. Work backwards from the per-head number before you look at anything. Under twenty a head means the Superstar Keychain. Around thirty five means the Hat Trick Hydration bottle, and the six designs stop sixteen identical bottles looking like a bulk order. Order early, since every piece is made to order and a full squad is a bigger run than a single gift.

An adult who watches rather than plays. A grown fan wants something for the house, not for a kit bag. The World Cup Decanter Set at $129.99 is a soccer-ball decanter with two glasses, and for the room itself Custom Signs for Home has the wall pieces. If the sport is incidental and you are really shopping for a man rather than a soccer player, Personalized Men's Bags is a better starting point than this page.
