Holiday Gifts for a Figure Skater in Your Life

Holiday jingles are hitting the shops, and the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg is in the air, signaling the return of the cheery winter season. It’s many people’s favorite time of year, and the perfect opportunity to show the special people in your life how much you care.

Now is the perfect time to find a gift for the figure skater who brightens your chilly days. Whether they’re just starting out or have already nailed their jumps and spins, we’ve got you covered with thoughtful, practical, and inspiring gift ideas that will make your favorite skater’s holiday season unforgettable.

Gifts for Young Skaters

Whether just starting out or still getting the hang of gliding across the ice, young figure skaters will love receiving gifts that celebrate their passion. A new pair of tights, a fun outfit for practice, or cozy gloves are always appreciated, but there are also plenty of creative ideas that spark joy:

• Scrapbook: A place to collect photos, ribbons, and memories from their skating journey.
• Movies: Inspire their dreams with skating favorites like Ice Princess.
• Balance Board: Help build balance and coordination. Plus, it’s fun off the ice!
• Poster or Decor: A motivational “Keep Calm and Skate On” print adds charm to any bedroom.
• Figure Skate Keychain: A cute reminder of their favorite hobby that they can take everywhere.

Gifts for Competitive and Advanced Skaters

For skaters who spend hours training or competing, thoughtful and practical gifts can make a big impact. 

Along with classic skating apparel, consider:

• Riedell Ice Skates or Eclipse Blades: Featured by The Wall Street Journal and ABC World News as top “Made in America” gifts, these high-quality skates are at the top of every skater’s wish list.
• Custom ColorLab Skates: Let them design their dream pair with over 35 color options for a one-of-a-kind look.
• Charm Bracelet or Engraved Jewelry: Commemorate a milestone or special competition.
• Skate Bag Kit: Pack essentials like hair ties, bandages, snacks, and a rink concession gift card.
• Champion Cords: Innovative training tools that help improve alignment and muscle memory.
• Training Gear: Tights, gloves, or practice dresses are always in demand.

Practical Gifts Every Skater Will Love

If your skater prefers practical gifts that enhance their performance or keep them prepared for the rink, here are some ideas that suit any age:

• Skate Guards or Soakers: Protect blades and extend their life.
• Extra Laces: Simple but essential.
• Blade Towels: Keep blades dry and rust-free.
• Skating Practice Notebook: Track goals, routines, and notes from lessons.
• Off-Ice Training Gear: Include resistance bands, yoga balls, or sliding discs for home practice.
• Insulated Water Bottle: Stay hydrated during long practice sessions.
• Skating Lesson Vouchers or Ice Passes: Give the gift of more time on the ice.
• Subscription to a Skating Magazine or Meditation App: Stay inspired and focused all season long.

For Parents, Coaches, and Fans

Don’t forget the people who support your skater from the sidelines! A fleece blanket, travel mug, or rink gift card can make those chilly hours in the stands more comfortable. Or consider gifting Indelible Tracings, a moving book about the history and resilience of the U.S. skating community.
