National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum

Everyone loves a good bobblehead and the folks at the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum (yes, that’s a thing), have a series of Vintage MLS Bobbleheads for all 23 MLS teams. 

Each figure features a retro design reminiscent to Fallout bobbleheads minus the radioactive fallout. While the bobbleheads themselves are of vintage design, the uniforms each figurine wears are current. They’re so cool we don’t even mind that MLS wasn’t even around when this style of bobblehead was popular.

It’s not quite regulation size but the receiver of this gift can still work on those all-important technical skills. Make sure your son or daughter becomes the next Christian Pulisic or Alex Morgan with this ball, which comes in three different colors.

Best Soccer Gifts For Kids - FIFA 19

Whether your friend is Team Xbox or Team PlayStation, chances are he or she is Team FIFA and not Team PES.

Just make sure you buy it for the right console (and do note digital codes versus physical copies). 

This year’s edition again features Cristiano Ronaldo on the cover, so you know it’s special.

What if the person you're shopping for doesn't have a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One and you want him or her to be able to play the above FIFA 19 game? The simple answer is to just buy him or her a PlayStation 4.  

PlayStation 4 is the best way to play FIFA 19 and many othe games. Unless you're an Xbox fan boy, in which case you probably vehemently disagree with that statement. Regardless, anyone would be more than happy to receive a PlayStation 4 as a gift, especially in conjunction with FIFA 19 or Pro Evolution Soccer.

For the American fan who wants to root for a team that actually wins at the highest level, look no further than a jersey for the U.S. Women’s National Team.

The American women won the 2015 World Cup. The American men failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Whose shirt do you think your loved ones would rather receive?

Best Soccer Gifts Online - Goalrilla Striker- Soccer Rebound Trainer

OK, let's set aside the goofy name of this product and get right down to what makes it so cool. The Goalrilla (we know, it's hard to say without giggling), is one of the best training goals around. 

As the non-silly part of the name suggests, this goal rebounds every shot right back to the shot taker, allowing for more time practicing and less time digging the ball out of the net. The durable design means you can pound away shots for hours without having to ever worry about fetching your ball (unless you miss, so don't miss). 

What's more, the goal is two-sided, meaning you can use the back to practice volleying or other tasks with the ball again coming right back at you. Place the goal inside a regular-size goal and you can practice aiming for the corners. Or set it up in front of a goal and practice shooting over a wall. 

Or, put your friend in goal and laugh as he or she gets hit in the rear end when you score and it bounces back!

ESPN

One thing every soccer fan wants is the ability to watch more soccer. With the ESPN+, you can give the gift of Serie A, MLS, USL and more.

ESPN+ is one of the better soccer subscription services out there. It doesn't have the Champions League like the overpriced B/R Live, but it's got loads of American soccer and access to a lot of other non-soccer sports (yes, those exist). Plus, the 30 For 30 content (soccer and otherwise) is top notch.

Best Soccer Gifts Online - Amazing Hover Ball with Powerful LED Light Size 4

Who wants to kick around a round soccer ball when you can kick a hovering soccer ball?! Powered by what we assume is magic (batteries not included), this padded disc glides over any smooth surfaces. 

You can kick it just like you would a soccer ball except instead of rolling it glides. LED lights allow you to play in the dark. The foam rim prevents injuring your foot or harming walls or whatever else gets in the way of your fun. Dogs will probably love it too.
