Hi! Do you enjoy giving gifts as much as I do? I’ve always loved finding thoughtful presents that feel special and personal to the recipient. While I used to put way too much pressure on myself to find the “perfect” gift, I’ve learned that’s unnecessary—and honestly, quite silly when there are far more important things to worry about. Hopefully you have people in your life who appreciate whatever you’ve chosen to give, because as we all know (however cliche it sounds), it truly is the thought that counts. Since being thoughtful often takes time and research, I’ve gathered some wonderful soccer themed presents for the soccer enthusiast in your life—whether they’re a player, a soccer mom or parent, or a soccer fanatic! When wondering what to gift someone who loves soccer, consider this your “assist” in the game of gift-giving, if you will! Ha!
I always appreciate a solid gift guide to take some of the legwork out of shopping, even though the hunt can be half the fun when you have the time! At the very least, I hope this collection of soccer themed presents helps spark some ideas of your own. If it does, we’d love to hear your ideas as well.
Let’s get serious about some great soccer themed presents for your soccer person!
For the person in your life who loves a cold drink! These soccer ice cube molds for two (here’s a mold for four) are a super fun and unique option for a coach, parent, or a kid who would enjoy this novelty.
USA Soccer Pint Glass
This dishwasher safe USA Soccer pint glass will work for adults and teens alike when enjoying a big game!
World Cup Glass
I’ve added this to my “gift list” for my son. He loves having soccer trophy dupes and this World Cup glass is SO fun and funny! These are the unique novelty finds I enjoy finding and gifting to see my soccer lover’s reaction.
A sophisticated coffee table book about the beautiful game is a wonderful gift for most adults, including a dedicated coach, parent, or older player. Here are a few lovely options:
This custom soccer ball keychain will absolutely make your athlete feel extra special. We bought this for our little soccer player and he put it on his soccer bag. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it has really come in handy when trying to differentiate the bags on the sidelines, since all the kids have the veryyyy same one.
Hair Accessories
My husband and kids got me this fun headband as one of my Mother’s Day gifts this year. It brings so much fun energy to the games! Here is a similar one but with less embellishments, if that’s more your thing.
This is a great gift for little ones — they can not only use it as a soccer ball, but they get to customize it! There are four different design options to choose from, based on your gift recipient’s interests. I can absolutely see all our sideline soccer siblings having a blast with this one!
Soccer Blanket
We all know how much kids like a cozy blanket to curl up with. This fleece soccer ball blanket is the perfect cozy couch blanket, or bedtime snuggle.
Soccer Ball Keychain Kit
For the crafty kid who enjoys making things, this cool kit has plenty of beads to create custom soccer keychains for themselves and their friends!
My son had a really cool Messi night light that was very similar to this one, which also changed colors. He would choose a different color each night. That is, until it broke when it was hit with — you guessed it — a soccer ball. 🙃
Soccer Ball Training Dice
If your kid enjoys practicing skills or likes to play soccer with friends, these training dice create a game and serve as a helpful incentive to encourage a kiddo to gain more confidence in their skills (or show off a little!).
Jellycat Stuffed Soccer Ball
Jellycat makes the plushest, softest stuffies. This cheerful, smiley little soccer ball would be an absolute winner in my home!
Soccer Themed Zip Up Accessory Bag / Pouch (with custom initial)
This accessory pouch is adorable (you can choose the custom initial) and a great option to hold smaller items in a soccer bag, purse, or book bag,
Soccer Ball String Lights
String lights are all the rage as an accent to bedroom lighting. I love these soccer ball string lights for a tween or teen — or even a soccer themed party.
Giant Soccer Themed Beach Ball
This 27in inflatable beach ball looks like a soccer ball! Little ones would love this variation to try to kick in a goal, or simply kick around the yard, or throw around in the pool!
Soccer Themed Gifts: Clothing
Custom Embroidered Soccer Mom Sweatshirt
This soccer mom sweatshirt is super duper cute — it’s embroidered and you can add customizations (if you want), like mom’s player’s name & number. What’s more, there are many color options for both the sweatshirt and the thread. That’s always important to me – to be able to make the sweatshirt in the gift recipient’s favorite colors or team colors.
Sambas
Aside from a cleat, there is no shoe that screams soccer more than a Samba. These men’s Sambas in various colors (sand colored? yes please!), women’s Sambas (I keep my eye on leopard ones, but I can never snag them in my size!), or these Messi kids’ Sambas, would make a very nice soccer themed present, especially in a funky color combo, or with the addition of colorful or patterned laces (just check the length of the laces before purchasing).
Whether you’re shopping for a dedicated player who lives and breathes the beautiful game (like our son!), a supportive parent cheering from the sidelines, or simply someone who appreciates soccer, I hope this guide has sparked some inspiration for your next thoughtful gift! Don’t forget — the best presents are always the ones that show you’ve paid attention to what brings joy to the people you care about. Happy, happy gifting, and may your soccer person’s face light up just as much as yours does when you find that perfect soccer themed present!
