Football boot bags
There are a few items that strike the perfect balance between practicality and thoughtfulness, and one of these is a boot bag. Whether you are buying a gift for a grassroots player, a coach, or a kitman, a high-quality boot bag is a gift that will be used week in and week out.
For players, a boot bag is an essential part of their matchday equipment. At Diamond Football, we offer a zipped polyester boot bag that will hold one pair of boots. The boot bag is designed with durability and convenience in mind, featuring strong zips and materials that can easily be wiped clean. They will help extend the life of expensive football boots by protecting them from wear and tear whilst you travel to and from games and training.
If you are purchasing a boot bag for a kitman at a professional or semi-professional club to carry all the players' boots, then our 12 Boot Carry Bag is a great option. This bag not only holds 12 pairs of boots, but it also has wheels, meaning it can be easily transported around the training field.
As a Christmas gift, boot bags tick all the right boxes: affordable, practical, and easy to wrap. They’re a thoughtful add-on to a larger football-themed present.
At Diamond Football, we also supply other types of bags that are good present ideas for football, such as:
- Coaches bag
- Managers bag
- Black football carry sack (available in multiple colours)
- Players holdall bag
- Kit bag on wheels

Football mannequins
A slightly larger idea for a present is football mannequins, which are one of the most versatile pieces of training equipment available. Whether used for free-kick practice, dribbling drills, or tactical positioning, mannequins help simulate real match scenarios and add structure to training sessions.
If you are buying mannequins for players, they can be used to sharpen free-kick techniques. Coaches can also use them for drills as part of training. Football mannequins can be a budget-friendly or more expensive gift for Christmas, as our prices range from £22 to £200 for our larger foam mannequins.
Here at Diamond Football, we have an extensive range of mannequins for football training:
- Senior football mannequins
- Junior football mannequins
- Foam mannequins
- Giant air mannequin
- Mannequin trolley (this carries five mannequins)
Football tactic boards
One of the best Christmas football presents for a manager or coach is a tactics board. This essential piece of equipment is perfect for managers and coaches to communicate strategy and instructions in the dressing room or on the side of the pitch during a game or training session.
Whether you're planning formations, explaining set-piece routines, or reviewing match performance, a football tactics board helps bring ideas to life visually and more clearly.
These tactics boards help players better understand positioning and team shape. Our boards are compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport to away games or training grounds.
The magnetic markers and dry-erase surfaces make them ideal for coaches or managers who wish to make quick changes to a formation or discuss something specific.
As a Christmas gift, this is a thoughtful and functional piece of equipment that is perfect for anyone looking to sharpen their strategic edge in the beautiful game.
Football rebounder
One of the best Christmas gift ideas to purchase is a football rebounder. They are truly essential for any modern-day player seeking to enhance their skills and elevate their game to the next level.
With a rebounder, coaches can also help players of all ages and levels improve their touch, timing, and reactions.
There are different types of rebounders, ranging from football rebound boards and rebounder nets to a goalkeeper rebound trainer.

Footballs
One of the most popular gifts you can buy for a football lover is a brand-new football. Whether it’s for a young player just starting or a seasoned coach looking to refresh their training gear, a high-quality football is always appreciated.
When you buy a football, you can use it straight away and have a kickabout in the garden, or if you are purchasing multiple footballs for a team or a coach, they can wait to be used in the next training session.
The footballs at Diamond are made from durable materials and can be used during training sessions or on matchdays.
A football is a great gift for coaches, as it is essential to have a set of reliable footballs, especially during the busy winter period when indoor and outdoor training intensifies.
There are various types of footballs designed for different surfaces and age groups. Whether it’s a stocking filler or a main present, it is something that never goes out of style.
Grip Socks
Grip socks have become a must-have item for footballers in recent years. No matter if it is a player playing at the highest level or in grassroots football, grip socks are designed with anti-slip technology on the sole to help reduce foot movement inside the boot, giving players better traction, stability, and control during sharp turns and sprints.
The grip socks we sell at Diamond Football are designed for comfort and durability, made from breathable materials. The socks can be worn on all types of surfaces and are the perfect stocking filler for football players.
