Ho ho holy sleighbells, is it Christmas already?
It’s that wonderful time of year when gift lists are longer than Man City’s rumoured rap sheet, when the quiet guy in the office has a sip of Bucks Fizz at the Christmas party and turns into a peak David Coote, and when you realise the only thing worse than watching Love Actually for the 50th time in a month is West Ham being the televised game.
Although Paddy Power News can’t stop the in-laws visiting, or the fact you’re being force-fed sprouts, what we can do is help with your Christmas shopping and that’s why we’ve had our experts on the hunt for the best stocking filler ideas from clubs around the world.
Yep, that’s right, no need for a mad dash on Christmas Eve, we’ve got it all figured out.
Arsenal darts mat
The miracle of baby Jesus, a tubby guy in a red suit coming down the chimney, and that one uncle who claims to have beaten Phil ‘The Power’ Taylor in a darts match back in the day. Christmas time serves up the best of ‘em, doesn’t it? So, why not challenge that dart wielding uncle to a game, on his fantastic Arsenal branded professional darts mat that you bought for him for the bargain price of, err, £40!
Juventus make-up kit
Mac, Estee Lauder, Clinique, MOVE OVER. The old lady is here with some black and white make-up for all occasions. Perfect for a glow-up or big night on the razz. Also great for impersonators of the 70s rock band KISS.
Man United Monopoly
Apparently the rules of this game differ slightly from original Monopoly in that nobody is allowed to pass Go and the Glazers own everything but never put anything back into the game. Weird. Still, it could be fun to play for a few hours.
Real Madrid captain’s armband and beer glass
How perfect would Christmas Day be for that special someone if they could drink their Estrella from a Real Madrid glass at 7am. Imagine that person having a few too many, chucking on a Real Madrid captain’s armband and spending the day pretending to be Sergio Ramos by poking gran in the eye when she takes the last of the gravy and then dramatically falling to the floor.
They could even lift that glass in the air likes it’s the Champions League trophy. Hala Madrid.
Celtic ‘We Never Stop’ DVD
This doesn’t even need to go to a Celtic fan, as anybody who appreciates football will know what this title meant to Celtic. It was the first title they won having not won it for… one season prior. They did however win 32 titles in a row before that. A truly memorable moment in football history. Plus, its only £1. Might want to check the lucky recipient owns a DVD player though.
Bayern Munich bicycle flag
What’s better than a new bike? An accessory to make an old bike stand out from the crowd, of course. When the kids say they want a new BMX or mountain bike, simply pop this Bayern bicycle flag onto their old bike and they’ll be the envy of every kid in town.
Liverpool BBQ set
“You’ll never grill alone” with this fantastic BBQ set. £30 seems a no brainer for this wonderful five-piece set. The immense pride when busting out these tongs on that rare sunny day on Merseyside. However, just in case it rains, there is a plan B: this fantastic LFC toaster. Did you know toast from an LFC toaster tastes better than regular toast from a regular toaster.
Boca Juniors night light
From being scared of the dark to needing to set the scene romantically, this Boca Juniors night light works on so many levels. Plus, it demonstrates that your footballing knowledge goes beyond Europe. By gifting this to somebody, you are basically showcasing yourself as a South American football correspondent.
Spurs white crest wall sticker
How happy will the mother-in-law be putting this sticker on the wall alongside her unique Live Laugh Love montage. Best £15 you’ll spend this Christmas.
PSG gear stick knob
They call it a car transmission knob because they are European and swanky. They have croissants, we have steak bakes. They have champagne, we have Lambrini. Still, the gift is absolute class for anybody in your life who drives. Picture that first day back to work in January. How cool would it be to get in the car at 6am, freezing and miserable, only to be warmed up and excited by a PSG gearstick. Give this gift to somebody you truly love.
