Personalised Sports Cards for Father's Day
Dads who have everything still rarely have a poster of themselves. A personalised sports card turns the man who drove to every match, washed
Dads who have everything still rarely have a poster of themselves. A personalised sports card turns the man who drove to every match, washed the kit and shouted from the touchline into the headline act. Pick a design in his sport, add his photo, give him a position and write six stats that make him laugh, then order from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). The card is printed to order, cut to the outline of the design, and you see the preview before paying.
Pick a design in his sport
Start with what he follows. A Premier League fan will want a football design in his team's colours, a rugby club regular might prefer the rugby range, and a golfer, cricketer or boxer has designs too. If he has no sport at all, choose whichever look suits your family.
The layout is the same across designs: rating and position at the top, his photo in the centre, name and stats below. Buying for a father and a grandfather? Use matching designs and they become a pair.
Stats that sound like him
Real numbers work if he still plays: Sunday league appearances, golf handicap, parkrun time. Family numbers are often better. Try LIFTS GIVEN, LOUDEST SIDELINE, BAD JOKES and TEAS MADE. Give him a position too, such as Head Coach, Midfield General or Last Man Back.
A rating of 99 is traditional, though a slightly insulting 78 can get a bigger laugh from a dad who enjoys banter.
Photo and size
A clear photo with good light and a visible face works best, and a phone picture is fine. We remove the background, and you can move and zoom the photo before you order. Use one from a match, a holiday or a family barbecue.
Six sizes run across A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). An A5 sits on a desk or shelf, an A3 (29.7 × 42 cm, 11.7 × 16.5 in) suits a study or bedroom wall, and an A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm, 23.4 × 33.1 in) or A0 gives a garage, shed or clubhouse bar a centrepiece. Prices start from £20.00.
A gift for a man who says he wants nothing
Ties and socks get lost in a drawer. A card with his own face on it goes on the wall, where he and his friends see it every week. It is printed on 5 mm EcoBoard that arrives ready to hang, with a waterproof and scratch-proof surface, so it will survive a garage or conservatory as well as a living room.
Gifts from the children
Let each child choose one stat and write it in their own words. A seven year old's idea of Dad's best skill (usually HIDE AND SEEK or PIGGYBACKS) is the line he will keep rereading. Older children can add a stat from a match you watched together, and everyone's choices sit on one card.
Sending it to him
If you are not near him on the day, we manufacture in the UK, the EU and the USA and deliver worldwide, so the card can go straight to his address. Read the preview once for spelling and again for the photo crop, then order. Allow time before Father's Day, as every card is made to order.
Questions, answered
Can I use any photo?
Yes. A phone photo works well. We remove the background, and you can zoom and move the picture on the card to frame it the way you like before you order.
Can I customise the stats and details?
Yes. Position, rating and all six stats are free text, and the card updates as you type, so you can keep trying numbers until it looks right.
What sizes can I order?
Six sizes, from A5 (14.8 × 21 cm, 5.8 × 8.3 in) to A0 (84.1 × 118.9 cm, 33.1 × 46.8 in). Check the preview, then choose the size that suits the wall or shelf where it will go.
Can I order multiple cards at once?
Yes. Add as many cards as you like to the same order, for example one for Dad and one for Grandad. Each card is printed individually.
Will it work if he is not a big sports fan?
Yes. The sport sets the look, but the content is all about him. Fill it with family jokes, his hobbies or his job, and it becomes a gift any dad can enjoy.
