Have a football fanatic in your home? Then check out these unique Football Gifts for Kids. Everything from toys to games, collectibles, apparel, and much more!
One of my favorite ways to figure out great gift ideas is to pick someone’s interest and research it relentlessly for unique gifts.
Every year my boys become enthralled watching football at our local high school, college, and the NFL on TV too.
That’s how this list of unique football gifts for kids came to exist. Years of searching and digging deep to find fun gifts that my boys would love to open up!
Of course, these aren’t just football gifts for boys. These ideas will work great for the girl on your list who is a big football fan too.

Toy Football Gifts for Boys & Girls
Would it be a gift list for kids if we didn’t start with toys? This first item in this gift guide has been a favorite toy in our house for many years.
Kaskey Football Guys
These Kaskey Football Guys are one of the most open-ended football toys I have ever found.
The sets have two different colored teams, two goal-posts, one referee, and a felt mat that lays flat once you’ve straightened it.
The best part is that the figures stand up. You can set up an entire game on the mat without becoming frustrated that all the players keep falling over – that’s a win!
They have a few color options so you can hopefully find one similar to your child’s favorite team. They have:
They have other sports sets as well, so if you want similar gifts for kids with different sports interests, these work well!
They have soccer, baseball, basketball & hockey sets available. Click here to see the Kasey Line.
BRXLZ Building Toys
Next are these BRXLZ football-themed building toys. These brick-building sets are available for many NFL teams as players, helmets, and logos.
Football Gifts for Kids: Games
There are tons of great football-related games available. Like this NFL League Spot It Game. It’s just like the other Spot It games but with that NFL touch!
Other fun football games include:
NFL Shake N’ Score Travel Dice Game
Electronic Retro Handheld Football Game
Football Gifts: Collectibles & Collections
Collectibles are great for older kids and let’s be honest, even for adults! My all-time favorites are the Funko Pop Football Collectible Figures. There are tons of football players available.
Other collectible football ideas include:
Mini Pennants NFL Collector Set
Football Gifts for Kids: Books
I’ll just say it – books make amazing gifts! I know kids don’t always put them at the top of their list, but books themed around their favorite interests are going to capture their attention more than any other.
That’s why a fun football book is a great idea for the pigskin-tossing kiddo in your life. This 1st & 10: Top 10 Lists of Everything Football is a great book, that my boys love!
Here are a few other football book options:
The Everything Kids’ Football Book
Sports Illustrated Football’s Greatest
Goodnight Football – Sports Illustrated Kids Bedtime Book
Football with Dad – illustrated book
Another fun option is this What is the Super Bowl book. If you haven’t heard of the “What was…” or “Who was…” series of books you need to check them out.
These are smaller chapter books, geared for a first to third-grade reading level. They cover all types of historical events, people, natural disasters, and more.
With their bobblehead-like cover illustration, they capture kids’ attention, and the history lessons inside are easy for kids to understand as well. Check them all out here.
Apparel Football Gifts
One of the best parts about rooting for your favorite football team is wearing the fan gear! T-shirts and jerseys are classic gifts, but you can’t go wrong with an entire uniform.. including the helmet!
Of course, there are tons of other options out there that aren’t full-on outfits. Here are a few of my favorites:
Backyard Fun Gift Ideas
Odds are if they love to watch football, they love playing it in the backyard too. These fun football gifts will have them outside playing in no time.

Franklin Sports Youth Football Goal Post Set
