Framed prints are posted, so aim to order by mid December to be comfortable. Digital files arrive within 48 hours, which makes them the safe option if you have left it to the last week.
What to spend
Under £20 covers a digital print. £25 to £30 covers a framed A4, which is the usual Christmas price point. £40 covers a framed A3, better suited to a main present rather than a stocking filler.
The details to gather quietly
You need their club, the names and numbers for each shirt, and who should be in the picture. Ask around the family rather than guessing at spellings, because the name is the first thing they look at when they open it.
Presents that survive January
Shirts date at the end of the season and novelty gifts get put away. A print of them and their kids in the stand stays on the wall, which is why it is worth spending on size rather than on extra small items.
Buying for a household
If several people in the family support the same club, one bigger framed print of all of them works better than separate small gifts, and it usually ends up in the hallway or living room.
Last minute options
A digital file can be bought on Christmas Eve, printed at home or at a local shop, and framed later. Plenty of people buy the digital first then upgrade to a framed copy in January.
A present that is still up in March
A custom matchday print puts the family in the stand of the ground they know, with the right names on the shirts. It does not date with the kit, and it is the one football gift nobody else has already bought them.

What is a good Christmas gift for a football fan who has everything?
A personalised print of them in their club's stand with their family, with the right names and numbers on the shirts. It is not something a club shop can sell.
