I have been receiving Chelsea related gifts ever since I got my first Chelsea shirt for my 7th birthday in 1993.

On the whole this is awesome, however once people know you like something whether it be football, a hobby or even just a favourite animal they can latch onto it and can buy you things without knowing if they are relevant or exciting.

I have been lucky and received some great gifts, but I have also received some clangers.

These gifts range from the awesome match tickets, a frame and picture to go with my 2012 Champions League Final ticket to the underwhelming market stall tat with dodgy logos and dubious certificates of authenticity.

Personalised gifts are always a good way to go as it shows some thought has gone into the gift and makes it unique to the person you are buying it for.

Here is an example of something we found that fits the trifecta of being personalised, quite cool and practical for the day to day (it is not sitting on a shelf gathering dust.
