Insulated Cricket Lunch Box / Cool bag – £35
This stylish and practical cricket-themed lunch box or cool bag is as giftable as it comes. It also screams quality.
If you’re going to break open the mid-innings sandwiches then you might as well do it in serious style.
The insulated lunchbox is made from vegan cricket ball materials and stitching… get this, it doesn’t just look like a cricket ball, it is a cricket ball.
Fully insulated, durable, puncture-resistant, and almost spill-proof, this is an eye-catching way to store your Dairylea slices or Lucosade Sport for a day at the cricket.
Cricket Gifts for Coffee Lovers – £30.99
Know someone who likes their coffee and their cricket? Well, how about a hat-trick from Cricket Coffee Co with three of their best-selling coffee bags to explore…
As well as the glorious smell of fresh coffee, each bag features individual artwork of England cricket heroes Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Joe Root. With free express shipping for good measure.
🏏 Bairstow Blend – Dark roast blend of 100% arabica, it is precision roasted to achieve the delicious rich-bodied ‘roasty’ flavour without being burnt.
🏏 Root Roast – A delicious mild coffee for enjoying in large quantities, with notes of chocolate and caramel.
🏏 The All-Rounder – Fruity and complex but well-balanced with sweetness and hints of cranberries.
☕ Choose wholebean or a choice of grinds available to suite cafetiere, espresso, moka pot, filter (inc V60) and aeropress. (They also do tea and hot chocolate too).
Cricket ground coasters – £4.95
Not sure what John Dodds will think of you putting your pint on his beloved cricket square all of the time but this is a great stocking filler for a cricket fan.
Give your coffee table or desk a lift with this wood coaster of your favourite cricket team’s home ground.
I like the contemporary, minimalist style of illustration and while I’ve selected Scarborough Cricket Club for Yorkshire CCC or club cricket fans, the Bath-based TurfFootball Art seller on Etsy has 36 cricket grounds to pick from, as well as lots of rugby and football stadiums too.
Dales, Bails and Cricket Club Tales – Paperback £7.99 / Kindle – £4.99
Picking my own cricket book in a shortlist is probably bad form but on the flip side, literally no-one is better qualified to talk about it!
Assuming you’re interested in club cricket, like travel writing or all things Yorkshire, then this is the book for you. An enjoyable read about the 2022 and 2023 seasons in Yorkshire, Dales, Bails and Cricket Club Tales takes you on a journey around lots of clubs, leagues and grounds.
Available on Amazon as a paperback or Kindle, this is a terrific gift at all times of year for the cricket fan in your life.

Personalised cricket biscuits – £22
Did someone say personalised handmade vanilla biscuits?!
Each set of iced biscuits has a large cricket ball (which you can add text to), 1 x wicket and pad, 1 bat, 1 x helmet, 1 x jumper and 4 x small cricket balls.
A personalised gift that theoretically lasts 8 weeks but would probably disappear in an afternoon here!
Personalised Cricket Club Birdbox – £72
A cricket pavilion AND a bird box…are you kidding me? A unique present hand-made by the husband and wife team of Simon and Helen Lindley from their Lincolnshire workshop.
A Christmas, birthday, retirement or anniversary present that will stand out in your garden and be a bit of fun, as well as a potential home for your feathered neighbours.
The cricket pavilion roof lifts off to enable easy cleaning and comes with full mounting and care instructions; suitable for the likes of sparrows and blue tits.
The cricket club pavilion is made from high-grade sustainable European redwood pine (known as Scot’s Pine) while the water-based wood paints are non-toxic to plants and wildlife.
You can amend the scoreboard to whatever name you like (up to 15 characters) and Man of the Match can be changed to say Player of the Match, if you prefer.
The club name above the door can become a real-life or fictional club name to add another dimension.
Aside from this cricket gem, Lindley Wood do all kinds of other wooden boxes – from a personalised pub to a football club, as well as mini planters or butterfly houses.
