So you’ve already secured the latest FIFA for that football fan in your life – what else could you possibly get? When that seems to be all they’re interested in, it can be difficult to come up with ideas for what else to go for. Luckily, there are other options!
Often, it will relate to FIFA/EAFC in one way or another, be it a new gaming setup or a piece of merchandise themed around their favourite team.
Why not gift an experience that brings the game to life? You could buy a matchday ticket, a stadium tour, and much more. Let’s look at some standout choices that are sure to impress.
New Gaming Setup
Football fan gifts like a new piece of equipment or an entirely new gaming setup will make a huge difference to any FIFA/EAFC player.
It will vary depending on your budget; you can go full out and buy an entirely new setup or opt for a new chair, monitor, controller, and so on…
Gaming chairs are usually a good place to start, as they’re the most used part of any setup and can often get bashed, tattered, and torn. You can find various gaming chairs out there with football-inspired designs, and if your club is popular, you can probably find their favourite team’s design.
A gaming monitor might be your next best bet, especially if they’ve had their existing one for a while. Remember, monitors and TVs are different. If they often use a desk, you’re likely going to want to find a monitor. Look for one with a good refresh rate and high-quality display; anything above 120hz is great.
Coming up with ideas for a setup can go on for hours, and there are plenty of ways to surprise them with something new.
FIFA/FC Points
Quick, simple, and guaranteed to please, FIFA/FC points are the ultimate last-minute gift. These points are used as digital currency in EAFC Ultimate Team to get the very best packs available, which, in turn, get them new (and hopefully expensive players).
Football Boxer Shorts
If you’re going to give someone the mundane gift of boxer shorts, you may as well inject a little bit of excitement by buying them football team underwear, perhaps a pair with their club crest on them.
If you’re looking for a fun and practical gift, consider football-themed men’s boxer shorts. They’re a fun, personalised gift that works perfectly as a stocking filler or as a Secret Santa present.
You’ll find a variety of options featuring the colours and emblems of popular UK football clubs. When you choose premium merchandise brands like Bawbags, you know you’re investing in good quality boxers too.
Stadium Trip
The best gift for football fans this Christmas has to be an unforgettable trip to their favourite stadium. Now, this could be to take them to a matchday, stadium tour, or even just a city break to stand in its shadow. This isn’t just any gift; it’s a memory in the making.
If they already visit their favourite team frequently, think outside the box of teams they always talk about but have never had the chance to visit. In the UK, it might be Anfield, Old Trafford, Stanford Bridge, or others. Outside of the UK, common favourites are the Allianz Arena, San Siro, Bernabeu, and many more.
This Christmas, give them not just a gift but a story they’ll tell for years.
Foosball Table
Another quick and easy one. Foosball tables come in various styles and sizes, so you can find one that fits perfectly into your space. They’re a great way to bring people together and take a break from a solid FIFA session.
