Ice skating gifts for large budgets
#1 Ticket to an ice skating event
Let’s start this list with the number one ice skating gift; tickets to an ice skating event!
Whether it’s to the national figure skating championships, a local ice skating race, or Disney’s on Ice, taking the recipient to anything skating-related is the best gift your can give.
I’ve said it numerous times before, and I will repeat myself until everyone is sick of me.
But, experience gifts are simply the best gift out there!
#2 Skate bags
Now before you head off and buy this cute and colorful skate bag. There is one thing I want you to keep in mind.
Most ice skaters will likely already have a skate bag. I mean, it’s their passion, their skates are their lives, so surely they will already have a practical bag to carry their life around.
So make sure you only buy this colorful bag for people who are new to ice skating, for people whose current skate bags are falling apart, or for those who love colors and happy prints. So they will actually use your gift.
#3 Tumbler
An ice skating-themed tumbler is the coolest gift for ice skaters! Not only does it let them flaunt their passion with every sip, but it’s also a practical gift. After pirouettes and twirls in the rink, they’ve earned the right to warm up with a hot drink which their tumbler kept nice and warm for them!
#4 Personalized medal display
After all those spins, jumps, and maybe a graceful fall or two (we won’t tell), your favorite figure skater deserves to showcase those hard-earned medals with more pride than a peacock in a parade.
This is why a personalized medal display is a perfect figure skating gift idea!
This display isn’t just a hanger; it’s a reminder of their dedication, turning their collection of triumphs into a work of art.
#5 Ice skating training pants
Figure skaters can never have too many pants, especially not if they’re from the popular ice skating brand Chloe Noel!
So whether you’re looking for ice skating gifts for those who are new to the sport or those who have practiced for years, these pants are perfect.
#6 Spinning trainer
Do you need figure skating gifts for someone who loves to practice and improve their skills as much as they can?
Then they will absolutely love this figure skating spinner. Or as I like to call it “the Twirlinator.”
This small mat helps skaters nail those spins with grace, balance, and pizzazz, all from the comfort of their homes and without the risk of falling on the cold hard ice. Then once they mastered the skill, they can comfortably start practicing in the rink.
#7 Training jacket
If you’re looking for practice figure skating gifts, this training jacket from Chloe Noel is perfect and great to pair with the pants (#5).
It’s lined with fleece to keep them warm inside the rink when they’re not busy spinning and jumping, making it a great practical gift for figure skaters of any level.
#8 Water bottle
All ice skaters know that hydration is key for good performance, so why not help them hydrate in style with one of the ice skating-themed water bottles from Zazzle?
Whether you’re looking for ice skating gifts for racers or for figure skaters, you will find a unique design on Zazzle.
Ice skating gifts for mid budgets
#9 Cute skate soaker
A soaker is literally, a piece of cloth that “soaks” the moisture for ice skates, and it’s an essential item for ice skaters because moisture is the enemy that can lead to rusting of their blades.
Ice skaters use two items for this, a drying towel for a quick dry-up (see gift #16) and soakers that are meant to stay on the blades until they’ve reached home where ice skaters can take further care of their skates.
So now that you know about the background of the soaker, you probably also realize it’s a great ice skating gift!
But it’s even better if you go for a fun, cute, or unique soaker, such as these adorable ones on Amazon.
#10 Wall art
Do you need ice or figure skating gifts for someone’s home?
Then head over to Etsy and check out all their amazing options of figure skating home decor and wall art. From lamps to posters and personalized prints, there is something for everyone.
Whether it’s a piece for a young figure skater’s bedroom or for an adult’s living room, you will find a unique ice skating-themed gift for everyone’s home.
#11 Skating competition gloves
Whether they’re actually performing or not, with these adorable gloves they will feel like the star of the ice (even if it’s just for practice).
They’re perfect figure skating gift ideas for girls and women, they’re lined with fleece on the inside, so even though they look cute, they will actually keep their hands warm.
#12 Candle for ice skating coach
Are you looking for unique ice skating gift ideas for your coach?
Then this heartfelt candle is the perfect keepsake to thank them at the end of the season.
#13 Books for ice skaters
Skating Shoes by Noel Streatfeild

One Jump at a Time: My Story by Nathan Chen
“One Jump at a Time” is Nathan Chen’s memoir, chronicling his journey from a Chinese American figure skating enthusiast to an Olympic gold medalist. This inspiring tale of perseverance is a perfect gift for ice skaters.
Finding the Edge: My Life on the Ice by Karen Chen
The last book is another great gift for figure skaters who dream about taking the next step in their skating career. “Finding the Edge” is Karen Chen’s inspiring tale of rising from a young figure skater to becoming a U.S. National Champion.
#14 Ice skating-themed shirts
With Etsy’s wide collection of ice skating-themed shirts, you can give a gift that allows them to wear their passion right on their sleeves (or well, chest).
Whether they’re pirouetting on ice or just pirouetting through life’s challenges, these shirts basically say, “I skate, therefore I’m awesome.”
Though check out Etsy to find all sorts of designs.
#15 Ear warmer
For small and practical ice skating gifts, check out this sports headband and ear warmer.
While they twirl and twist like a tornado on ice, chilly winds try to turn their ears into icicles, but with these ear warmers, their ears will be as toasty as a marshmallow by the campfire. It is not just comfortable, it also prevents frostbite, making it a very practical gift.
#16 Personalized skate drying towel
Are you looking for personalized and practical ice skating gifts?
Then this skate-drying towel is exactly what you need.
As I said with the soakers, ice skaters will need to dry their skates after practice to prevent their blades from getting rusty and damaged. With this towel, they can get rid of moisture faster than a cat dodging a bath, keeping their skates steady and blades sharp.
Ice skating gifts for small budgets

From costumes to extra gloves (because losing one is basically a sport), this bag’s got their back. And let’s face it, after a session of triple axles and spins, they need something stylish to toss their gear into.
#19 Jewelry tray
This is a great figure skating gift for girls and women who breathe the sport.
Even when they’re not on the ice they will still think, talk, and dream about it. So why not add even more figure skating into their lives with this cute jewelry tray?
Besides being a cute décor item for her room, it might actually help her to keep all her jewelry in one place. (And not leave them hanging everywhere in the house and always losing at least one of her earrings. Okay maybe I’m speaking from experience here, but I’m sure I’m not the only one).
