Let’s dive into a curated list of Christmas gift ideas for figure skaters of all ages — and their biggest fans.

🎁 Best Christmas Gifts for Figure Skaters

1. Training Outfits:

Help them train in comfort and style. Look for leggings and tops that allow freedom of movement, wick away sweat, and keep them warm during early morning practice sessions.

Popular figure skating clothing brands include Chique Sport, JIVSPORT, and Karisma, all known for creating stylish performance wear designed specifically for skaters.

2. Blade Covers and Soakers:

Protecting skate blades properly is essential, so novelty or personalised soakers always make brilliant stocking fillers for figure skaters. Many skaters love colourful handmade styles or custom designs that match their training outfits.

Boot covers, legwarmers and blade towels are also practical gifts that tend to get plenty of use throughout the season.

3. Off-Ice Training Aids:

Think spinners, resistance bands, crash pants or balance boards — essentials for improving jumps, spins, balance and overall control.

Off-ice training gifts are especially useful during school holidays or quieter training weeks when skaters still want to practise at home.

4. Practical Skating Accessories:

Gloves, socks, boot fresheners, blade towels or Bunga pads all make ideal stocking fillers for skaters. Pro tip: buy gloves in bulk — they have an impressive ability to disappear.

5. Gel Sleeves and Bunga Pads:

Ankle gel sleeves can help prevent rubbing and blisters inside skating boots and are one of those practical gifts skaters genuinely appreciate.

6. Figure Skating Books:

The Book of Figure Skating by Johanna Allik is a beautiful coffee-table style skating book featuring interviews with elite skaters and coaches. It makes a thoughtful gift for skaters seeking inspiration, motivation, and insight into the sport.

7. Online Off-Ice Courses & Skater Wellbeing:

Off-ice training, recovery and wellbeing have become an increasingly important part of figure skating. Online stretching, mobility and mindset programmes can be especially useful during school holidays, competition season, or when ice time is limited.

British former competitive figure skater and Olympian Kristen Spours, has recently launched Kristen Spours, focused on helping skaters develop confidence, wellbeing and balance both on and off the ice.
