Christmas Gifts for Figure Skaters: 10 Picks from £2.99

Our top picks

Best overall: Haishell Ice Skate Guards and Soakers Set with Towel, Blue (£16.99). Guards and soakers are the two things every figure skater uses at every session, and this set covers both. The Amazon UK listing describes a pair of plush soft blade covers (soakers), a pair of hard skate guards with adjustable buckles and a towel, all in blue. It says the soakers are polyester, measure 40 cm and have an absorbent lining to help stop rust, and the guards have 18 buckle positions so they can be adjusted to the length of the blade. The listing says the set suits figure, hockey and roller skates but not speed skates.

Best budget: A&R Ice Skate Lace Tightener with Extended Hook, Red (£2.99). The cheapest gift here and a handy stocking filler. Figure skates need to be laced firmly, and the listing describes this as a folding lace tightener with an extended hook for hockey or figure skates that helps get skates tight without straining your fingers. It is one size. When we checked, the listing showed a separate delivery charge, so check the total before you order or add it to a bigger basket.

Best for competitive skaters: Ceaz Figure Skating Spinner Training Aid (£48.22). A spinner is a well-known off-ice training aid for skaters working on spins and rotations at home. The listing describes a low-profile spinner with dual non-slip surfaces that can be used on any flat surface, with a platform of 8.3 x 8.3 inches and a height of 0.7 inches, and says it also suits ballet, gymnastics and dance. The listing says it comes with a skate sharpening tool, but blade sharpening is usually best left to a professional (see the FAQ below). It is the priciest gift in this guide, so it suits a skater who is already training regularly.

More Christmas gifts for figure skaters

Jasmine Silk Pure Silk Liner Gloves, Medium, Black (£9.98). Many skaters like thin gloves on the ice, both for warmth and to protect their hands when they fall. These are 100% silk liner gloves that the listing describes as light and warm without bulk, with long ribbed cuffs, and machine washable at 30°C. The listing pitches them for skiing and other sports, either on their own or as a liner. The price shown is for size Medium in black, so check the size guide on the listing.

ELLE Ladies' Chunky Cable Knit Leg Warmers, Black (£9.99). Leg warmers are a figure skating classic for keeping muscles warm in a cold rink. This listing is one pair of chunky cable knit leg warmers about 40 cm long, one size, in acrylic, and it says they also work as warm-up legwear for yoga, dance, barre and studio sessions. They have an ELLE tab at the cuff. The price shown is for the black pair.

WOLT Ice Skate Bag with Adjustable Shoulder Strap, Mint (£24.99). A proper skate bag keeps blades away from clothes and makes rink days easier. The listing describes a polyester bag with two separate side compartments for skates, a middle compartment for a change of clothes, guards and accessories, a side pocket for a phone, a place for a water bottle on the back, a top handle and a detachable adjustable shoulder strap. The price shown is for the mint colour in size L.

Boot Bananas Eco Travel Deodorisers, Fragrance-Free (£9.99). Skating boots get damp, so a deodoriser is a practical extra for the skate bag. The listing describes fragrance-free Boot Bananas filled with activated coconut charcoal that absorbs odours and excess moisture, with a home compostable cotton outer. It says they last 6 to 12 months and can be recharged in sunlight, and that they suit shoes, boots, gloves and bags.

VASSAGO Ice Skate Pendant Necklace (£8.98). A small keepsake for a skater who loves the sport. The listing describes an ice skate pendant with white enamel, made of zinc alloy, on a chain of 18 inches plus a 2 inch extender, and says it comes in a VASSAGO velvet gift pouch.

Hippowarehouse Eat Sleep Skate Repeat Mug (£8.95). A fun gift for a skater who spends early mornings at the rink. It is printed with "Eat Sleep Skate Repeat", and the listing describes a 10 oz white ceramic mug that is dishwasher and microwave safe.

My Ice Skating Lessons: A Journal by Karleen Tauszik (paperback) (£9.85). A good gift for a child in skating lessons. The book description says it has journaling pages for 50 weeks of lessons, each with 5 writing prompts to track skills and progress, plus review sheets every 10 weeks and pages for notes and photos. The listing shows an 80-page paperback from Tip Top Books, with a reading age of 8 to 14 years.

Figure skating gifts by level

For a child in learn-to-skate lessons, the guards and soakers set (£16.99), the lesson journal (£9.85) and the gloves (£9.98) make a useful starter bundle. For a skater who trains several times a week, the skate bag (£24.99), the leg warmers (£9.99) and the boot deodorisers (£9.99) are things they will use all season, while the spinner (£48.22) suits someone working on spins away from the ice.

Stocking fillers for ice skaters

The lace tightener (£2.99), the necklace (£8.98), the mug (£8.95), the gloves (£9.98), the leg warmers (£9.99) and the boot deodorisers (£9.99) are all under £10, so they work well as stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts for a friend at the rink.

What to look for in a Christmas gift for a figure skater

Leave skates and blades to the skater. Boots need a proper fitting and blades are mounted and sharpened to suit the skater, so these are not good surprise gifts. Accessories and training aids are much safer choices.

Know the difference between guards and soakers. Hard guards are for walking off the ice and come off before the skater steps back on, while soft soakers go on once the blades are wiped dry, to soak up moisture and protect the blades in the bag. Skating care guides warn never to store blades in hard guards, because they trap water against the steel and cause rust.

Think about warmth without bulk. Rinks are cold, but skaters need to move freely, so thin gloves, leg warmers and layers are more useful than bulky winter wear. Inside the boot, skating guides recommend one pair of thin socks or tights rather than thick socks.

Check sizes and colours. The gloves, leg warmers and skate bag here are sold in more than one size or colour, and the price shown is for the option we checked. Choose the right size on the listing, and keep a gift receipt.

Check the price and delivery. Every gift here cost between £2.99 and £48.22 when we checked on 2 November 2026. Prices change often, and some items have a delivery charge, so check the total and the delivery date on Amazon before you order, especially close to Christmas.

How we chose these picks

We only included products that were in stock on Amazon UK with a single live buy-box price in pounds when we checked on 2 November 2026, read with a UK delivery address. We skipped listings showing low stock, no stock line or unclear details, and we avoided repeating products already featured in our other guides. Specs in the comparison table come from each product's Amazon UK listing, and a dash means the listing does not state that detail. Descriptions are based on what each listing says; we have not tested these products ourselves, and we have not used star ratings or review counts.
