Gift ideas

Personalised sports gifts they'll actually keep

Medals end up in drawers. A personalised player shield goes straight on the wall. It's the gift that makes a young player feel like a pro – and it's just as popular with dads, mams, grandparents and coaches.

Not sure of the details?

Send a gift voucher instead – they design their own shield and the voucher pays for it. Four sizes – Small (A4, €16), Medium (A3, €29), Large (A2, €39) and Extra Large (A1, €65) – printed on rigid board and cut to the shield shape.

What goes on a gift shield?

A clear photo, their name and a nickname if they have one, their shirt number and position, plus six stats you choose. Add the club crest or a county badge, pick their club colours and choose a background – club stripes, split colours, gradients, geometric patterns or your own uploaded image. You can save a draft and come back to it, so you can sneak a photo from the family album without giving the surprise away.

Timing your gift

Each shield is printed and cut in Dublin, then delivered anywhere in Ireland, or you can choose click & collect. For Christmas, birthdays and awards nights, order early to be safe – and if time runs short, a gift voucher arrives by email straight away.
