If you have a sports crazy kid on your hands you want to make sure and get him gifts that encourage his or her specific game of choice.

Perhaps you aren’t nearly as in love with sports as they are and you simply don’t know what sort of things you should get. Maybe you have simply run out of ideas. Whatever the reason, these are excellent things to get your young sports fanatic.

10. Replica Football Helmet

If you have a sports crazy kid that is specifically in love with football, then they are probably going to love to have a replica helmet. You can get a full sized version that they can wear, or a smaller one that is to scale of the original. These smaller ones can even go on display in their rooms.

9. Team Jersey

Wearing the jersey of a fan’s favorite team is a time honored tradition. You can get them their favorite team along with their favorite player. Watch their face light up when they pull this out of the box.

8. Artwork

Do you have snapshots from spring training, an autograph session or the big gamne your child attended? Or how about a picture of them scoring the winning point? Turn a favorite photograph into a dramatic work of art on canvas. All you have to do is submit your personal picture and before you know it, it will be transformed into a work of art your child will love having on their wall.

7. Shoes

If your kid is more than just a fan and loves to actually play a particular sport like soccer, you can actually go ahead and get them the top of the line soccer cleats. The same goes for baseball and football and golf and tennis shoes.

6. Pennants

This is along the same lines as getting a poster, but ports pennants only honor a team, rather than a player. These used to be a lot more popular back in the day but you can still find these in sports memorabilia stores. They are great decor for a kids room, because they are also for hanging up on the wall and showing off to visitors.

5. Sports Cards

This is another sports memorabilia item that used to be quite a bit more popular a few years ago but can still go a long way towards making your sports crazy kid happy. The best kind of sports card is one that actually has their favorite player’s autograph. That might be easier said than done. Simply getting them a set of cards, or just a couple of packs will do wonders.

4. Equipment

Just like the shoes from earlier in the list, most crazy kids are going to have a set of equipment from their favorite sport. This can be a bat, ball and glove for baseball fans. It can also be a set of golf clubs or golf training accessories if that is what your child is into. Some selection of equipment from their favorite sport will make their day.

3. Fathead Wall Images

What sports crazy kid wouldn’t love a life-sized image of their favorite sports heros, team or sport icon? Fathead wall art lets you easily add a realistic image from the sport your child loves, and it’s as easy as applying a single piece of wallpaper. Go for a single image, or turn their room into a shrine to their sport. Either way, you’ll be the hero!

2. Sports Package

In the digital and Internet age, one of the best gifts you can give that special sports fan is the ability to follow their team whenever they are playing. There are packages on digital television and the Internet, as well as mobile devices that will allow someone to follow a team even if they don’t live in that team’s city.

1. Tickets

There may be no greater gift for the sports obsessed than tickets to the Super Bowl, World Series or other big game. No matter the sport, fans are most going to enjoy taking in the event first hand.
