Airsoft Christmas Gift Guide 2026: Ideas for Every Budget

Buying for an airsoft player this Christmas? Whether they’re just starting out or have been skirmishing for years, there’s always something useful on their list. Here are our picks by budget, all in stock at OnlyAirsoft in Thetford and online.

Prices were correct at the time of writing (October 2026) and may change. Free UK delivery on orders over £100, or free click & collect from our Castle Street shop.

Stocking fillers under £15

Morale patches: players love collecting them for their vests and bags. Try the Ragnar Raids Balder MK3 patch (£3.95) or browse all patches.
Magazine pouches: the Vanguard double mag pouch (£8.95) comes in black, olive and BTP.
A face mask: the Recon face mask (£12.95) protects the lower face from BB hits.
Goggles: Big Foot goggles with three lenses (£13.95) for sunny, overcast and low-light days.

Gifts under £25

Tactical gloves: the Armored Claw Smart Flex gloves (£19.95) protect hands from hits and brambles. Check their size first.
Shooting glasses: the Bollé Cobra glasses (£24.95) are a comfortable upgrade. Always check the eye protection rules at their usual site.
Full face mask: the full face mesh mask (£19.95) is great for close-quarters games.
Quality BBs: heavier precision BBs like EDGE 0.43g (£19.95) suit snipers and upgraded rifles. Not sure which weight? Our BB guide explains.

Gifts under £50

A spare battery: every AEG player needs one. LiPo batteries like the Wolfpack 7.4V 1600mAh (£29.95) are popular, but check the connector and size their replica takes first (our battery guide helps).
A proper charger: the Gens Ace iMars Mini charger (£36.95) is a smart balance charger that makes LiPo charging safer and easier.
Comms headset: the Big Foot headset (£32.95) adds a realistic look to a helmet setup.

Bigger presents

A plate carrier: the centre of any loadout. Try the Primal Gear Stegadon (£101.95) or the Big Foot JPC 3.0 set (£132.95). See all plate carriers.
A new replica: browse our airsoft replicas, or read our first AEG buying guide.

Buying a replica as a gift? Read this first

UK law applies to the person buying, not just the person playing:

You must be 18 or over to buy any airsoft replica.
To buy a realistic imitation firearm (RIF), the person buying needs their own valid defence, such as UKARA registration. So unless you’re a registered skirmisher yourself, a RIF isn’t something you can buy as a present.
Two-tone (brightly coloured) replicas don’t need UKARA, so they’re the easiest replica to give as a present.

Our UKARA, RIFs and two-tones guide explains it in plain English. If in doubt, gear and accessories are always a safe bet, or bring them to the shop to choose for themselves.

Still not sure?

Call us on 01842 683567 or pop into the shop at 20–22 Castle Street, Thetford. We’re happy to help you find the right present, and we’ll check things like battery connectors and sizes so you get it right first time.
