Gifts
Don’t “be a goldfish” when it’s time to buy a gift for your fave Lasso fan.
People’s obsession with Ted Lasso was summed up perfectly by the star himself, Jason Sudekis, when he said in his Saturday Night Live monologue, “It’s become a hit, which is shocking to me because it’s based on two things Americans hate: Soccer and kindness.” But love it, we do. And if you have a Ted Lasso superfan in your house, the time to choose the perfect Ted Lasso gift is now.
As you might expect, the internet has answered the call of all Lasso lovers with plenty of goods and goodies, from Etsy paraphernalia to WB Shop-approved swag. You know you gotta own at least a few A.F.C. Richmond scarves, right? Like any sports league, the show has all the accessories you might need to (pretend to) be a baller. But there are loads of creative gift ideas inspired by the show for the do-it-yourself crew as well. Maybe you need a “Believe” sticker. Or perhaps you know someone who’d be thrilled to get a “Roy F*ckin Kent” shirt. Even better? How about a Ted Lasso mustache face mask? A Ted Lasso gift truly is the gift that keeps on giving every time you have to run out the house for an errand.
As Lasso once said, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.”

1A.F.C. Richmond T-shirt
Whether you wish you were on pitch or in the pub, this Roy Kent shirt will have you feeling like you’re in the game. The front features Richmond’s signature crest — the greyhound — and on the back is Kent’s number, 6. For Kent fans, there’s no better gift, but make sure that you wear the shirt with pride. After all, if you ask Kent, he’ll probably just say something like, “Have some f*cking pride in your shirt or don’t f*cking wear it.” Truer words have never been spoken.
2Ted Lasso Little People set
For the diehard Ted Lasso fan, this Fisher-Price Little People set is perfect. The gang is all here in this six-piece set, from Ted Lasso, Rebecca Welton, Keeley Jones, Coach Beard, Roy Kent, and Sam Obisanya. Each figure stands 2.5 inches tall, which means they can find a place of honor on your desk or some other cool display.
3Ted Lasso sticker
By far, one of Ted’s most popular sayings is, “Be curious, not judgmental,” which he uttered to Rupert during a daring game of darts. What it really comes down to is seeing the world with open eyes and being ready to learn that our differences make us even more united. You can contemplate the saying while sipping your favorite drink that will be beautifully adorned by this Ted Lasso sticker with the aforementioned quote.
4Ted Lasso coloring book
Have an artist in the family who loves to color? Give them this Ted Lasso coloring book, which is filled with all your favorite characters from Roy Kent to Coach Beard, Keely to Higgins. Made in paperback, you can easily store this in a backpack for road trips or vacation flights, then pull it out when you need a little entertainment.
5“Fútbol Is Life” T-shirt
Who doesn’t love Dani Rojas? The effervescent kicker is the happiest athlete ever. And for soccer fans, nothing could be truer than his words “fútbol is life.” Now you can rock the same mindset with this Futbol is Life t-shirt that echoes his words. Made in a retro design and out of 100% spun cotton, this tee is as comfy as it is trendy. And timeless. Let’s be honest, when is Ted Lasso going to go out of style?
6A.F.C. Richmond v-neck sweater
What can we say, British sports are just a bit more posh. Rather than sporting hoodies, teams don preppy v-neck sweaters with their team’s insignia on the chest. You can get that same sporty look with this AFC Richmond V-Neck Sweater. The patch on the front lets your friends know whose side you’re on, so there won’t be any confusion who you support.
7Ted Lasso coasters
Whether it’s about your choice in craft beers or even potential partners, Roy Kent has some words of advice for you. The line printed on these Ted Lasso coasters — “Don’t you dare settle for fine” — are spoken by Roy to Rebecca, about new suitor John Wingsnight, but it could really apply to anybody who might be contemplating some major life decisions. But as for these coasters? Well, they’re not just fine; they’re awesome.
8A.F.C. Richmond crest scarf
Another very British move? Having sports scarves. That’s what makes this Ted Lasso gift great. This crest scarf might bring Hogwarts to mind, but it’s really an AFC Richmond custom red and yellow with blue tassel trim accessory. Made of acrylic yarn, the team’s greyhound is knit proudly into the body of the design with the words A.F.C. Richmond running across its length. Buy it now to stay warm for the holidays, and hold onto it for next year’s Halloween costume.
9Biscuits tin
It’s a well known fact that Ted hates tea, but the man loves a biscuit and delivers a box of them every morning to his boss, Rebecca Welton. Want to give a friend or family member a chance to butter up their own exec? Give them this “Biscuits with the Boss” pink tin. They can treat themselves or their manager.
10A.F.C. Richmond crest athletic socks
Have an undercover Ted Lasso fiend in your house? They can’t get enough of the show, but they don’t like to brag about it. They can keep it on the DL with these Ted Lasso socks. Made in the classic A.F.C. Richmond Crest design, they’re a bold blue and red. But who has to know when they’re carefully tucked under a pair of nice slacks, as Ted prefers, or under a pair of trendy high street trainers a la Jamie?

The 100% polyester blanket can be machine washed.
12Ted Lasso mug
You can put hot chocolate in it. You can put coffee in it. Heck, you can even put water in it. But don’t you dare ever put tea in this Ted Lasso mug. Fans will instantly recognize (and laugh) at Lasso’s likening of tea to tasteless warm water. As one Amazon reviewer so wittily wrote: “My husband found it inspiring. He believes in Lasso like we all should. He also likes drinking coffee out of it. I drink tea so I can’t use it.” Well played.

That’s right, if you’re rooting for Ted Lasso and Coach Beard to make a presidential run in 2024, show your support by getting this fun (and not serious) sticker from Etsy seller KCPrinthouseCo. A great stocking stuffer, the sticker has a matte finish and can be used for cars, laptops, mugs, windows, or any other smooth surface that will let you display your love for these two kooky candidates.
15Ted Lasso wall calendar
If you need your daily dose of Ted Lasso, there’s no reason to fret. This 2023 wall calendar will let you have 365 days’ worth of Lasso-isms. For example, the month of July shows Lasso saying, “Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing” or in the infamous words of Keeley, “F*ck, you’re amazing.

18Ted Lasso face mask
Want to give a great Ted Lasso gift that someone will actually use? How about a Ted Lasso face mask? But instead of having his face on your face mask, you can go around with a goldfish instead. Fans of the show will instantly recognize the quote from Lasso, who reminded his team that goldfish only have a 10-second memory span, so they shouldn’t beat themselves up about the loss and focus on the future instead. The handmade mask is soft, with gold lettering and straps to keep the mask snug on your face.

A great Ted Lasso gift for hardcore fans, this Diamond Dogs t-shirt comes in eight colors and is made of 100% cotton.

It’s all the touchy-feely stuff that everyone should be so lucky as to have a group to discuss with. Know someone who has their own diamond dogs? Know someone who needs some?
