Grow your own Wembley and everything else a football fan could want this Christmas

we like to think we know a thing or two about football and like us, we imagine a fair few of you have friends and family that are football fans and you need to get gifts for them this Christmas, or maybe you just want to treat yourself to something special.

And if you are a bit stuck and need a bit of inspiration, we've compiled a handy list of the best football gifts available this winter. So why not take a look and get that perfect treat for a relative, a mate, or the most important person in your life – yourself – this Christmas. Go on, you deserve it.

Kicking things off is the Big Football Match Sound Machine, which lets you replicate the atmosphere in the stands wherever you are. Has someone made a cracking cup of tea at work? Have you just carved up the Christmas turkey and think you deserve the adulation of thousands? Then crack this nifty gadget out and get the big match atmosphere (minus the swearing and rude chants – you'll just have to make do with shouting them yourself) wherever you are. Heck, you can even use it at the game when you've lost your voice or have hot pie burning down your mouth – it's by far the greatest Christmas present the world has ever seen. And it's only ￡7.99 from Find Me a Gift – easy!

Of course, there are times when you have to keep the noise down, and the England flag in-ear headphones let you experience all the noise in a world of your own – and they make it clear to anyone around you (if the replica shirt, flag streaming from out your car and a face full of tattoos didn't already) that you're a bit of an England fan. Whack these in your iPod, fire up World in Motion, and get yourself in the mood for Euro 2012. Available from QVC for just ￡17.75.

Next year is a big one for football fans as there's the European Championships in Poland & Ukraine, but there's also the London Olympics, complete with its own football tournament – and the Royal Mint has released a special commemorative 50p coin, complete with a handy diagram to explain the offside rule if ever you need to remind the linesman after a howling mistake (please note that this should be done politely, rather than hurled at the official).

There are 29 coins, each featuring a different Olympic sport, and they all come in a snazzy package. Collect them all for a truly impressive haul, or just snap up your favourite (which would be the football one, obviously).

These limited edition coins will make a perfect stocking filler and really get you in the mood for the Games. Order them here.
