When it comes to finding the perfect gift for a figure skater, who better to ask than someone who lives and breathes the sport at the highest level? British Champion Kristen Spours shares her essential picks – from recovery tools and training kit to stylish must-haves that make time at the rink even more enjoyable.

Whether you're buying for a passionate skater or building your own dream wishlist, here are Kristen’s top gift recommendations.

1. A Beautiful Ice Skating Necklace – A Personal Essential

“For me, wearing something that reminds me of skating even off the ice is really special. I always wear a gold skate necklace with a few meaningful charms – from places I’ve skated at to little messages that inspire me every day.”
– Kristen Spours

This isn’t just any necklace – it’s Kristen’s own piece, worn every day as a quiet reminder of her skating journey. Her gold ice skating necklace is customised with a curated selection of charms, including engraved blades, initials and tokens from competitions around the world.

You can create something just as personal – a necklace that grows with your story. Choose from gold or silver blades, add engraved messages, and mix in stars, hearts, and meaningful details like names, dates or a short motto. It’s the perfect gift for any skater who wants to carry their passion close to their heart. View the necklace size and styling guides →
