Those who follow a specific sport often enjoy receiving unusual gifts that identify them as true fans. The gift items available for fans and players range from the practical, such as season tickets, to the typical, such as hockey sticks or team shirts. A field hockey fan might be ready for an unusual gift if he has received the standard gifts already. His personality is the only limit to the choices of unusual gifts available to you.

Home Decor

Serious field hockey fans will enjoy a few decorative items around the house during Christmas or other holidays. For instance, the Christmas Decorations and Gifts Store recommends Christmas tree ornaments and specialty nutcrackers with field hockey themes to help your fan emphasize her passion for the sport. Your field hockey lover might prefer an afghan personalized for the team mom or coach or a blanket that shows the field hockey playing field. You can even choose an afghan imprinted with the field hockey player's team photograph.

Artwork

Framed posters or paintings by professional artists can be an inexpensive gift for the field hockey lover. You can find an unusual poster with a nostalgic theme, such as a team dressed in uniforms from the early history of professional field hockey, or artwork that depicts the seriousness of a youth street hockey game, like the "Winter Street Hockey" illustration at AllPosters.com. You might choose art that lets your field hockey fan make a statement every time he sends a letter. Zazzle, the online imprint company, sells artistic postage stamps that depict a bold, colorful field hockey illustration.

Jewelry and Collectibles

Engraved jewelry can be an unusual field hockey gift. A church supply company in Michigan sells 14-carat gold and sterling silver St. Christopher and St. Benjamin field hockey medals engraved with a drawing of a player and the saint's name. Your field hockey enthusiast might appreciate a collectible, such as the coin that commemorates the 1984 international field hockey games held in Lesotho, a country near South Africa.

Field Hockey Camp

Give your field hockey fan a week at a residential or day field hockey camp. The camps offer players a chance to work with professional coaches, improve technique and skills and enjoy fun activities with other players and fans. Field hockey camps are aimed at young athletes and adults of varying skill levels. Some camps cater to teams, while others accept individuals.
