Darts Gifts: The Best Presents for Darts Fans
Share
Buying for a darts fan is easier than most hobbies: the gear is affordable, the merch is genuinely wearable, and there is one gift that beats everything in a box. Here is the honest guide, whatever your budget.
Under £20: small but right
- Flights and stems: the socks of the darts world, except players actually want them. They snap, they wear out, and nobody ever has enough.
- A decent dart case: protects the darts they already love. Our merch shop has cases that do the job properly.
- Darts accessories: sharpeners, wallets, scorers. Cheap to buy, used every week.
£20 to £50: the sweet spot
- A new set of darts: gift darts in the 22 to 24 gram range suit most players. If in doubt, match the weight they already throw.
- Personalised darts: engraved barrels or custom flights with their name or nickname on. A small upgrade that makes an ordinary set feel like theirs.
- Official shirts and hoodies: our Throwdown range covers this, including the pro dart shirts made by our apparel partner.
- A darts advent calendar: 24 doors of flights, stems and accessories. December sorted.
The gift that beats all of them: a live darts night
Gear gets used. A night out gets remembered. Tickets to a live darts exhibition put your darts fan a few feet from the professionals they watch on TV, with music, meet and greets, and a room full of people exactly like them. Our nights at the Copthorne in Dudley run from £25 for adults and £20 for under 14s, plus booking fee, which makes it one of the cheapest brilliant presents in sport.
The timing works too: two time World Champion Adrian Lewis headlines our Christmas party on 6 December. A ticket in a Christmas card is the easiest wrapped-by-9pm gift there is, and if you want to see what they'd be walking into, watch what a Throwdown night looks like.
The one rule of darts gifts
Don't replace their darts without asking. A player's darts are personal, tuned by years of habit. Buy them the night out, the shirt, the case, the flights. Let them choose the arrows.
The gear itself, sorted
