The best Christmas gifts for darts players are the ones they will use every time they step up to the oche: a proper darts case, flights or K-Flex from their favourite player, dartboard lighting, a fresh board and surround, or, if you are not sure what they throw, an ArrowHeadz gift card. Darts themselves make a brilliant present, but only once you know the weight and style the person likes.
This guide is built to get you to the right gift quickly. Start with who you are buying for, set your budget, then use the links to jump straight into the matching gift collection. Everything sits in one place on our Christmas darts gifts page as well.

The five safest darts gifts (if you only read one section)
These work whatever darts the person throws, so there is no risk of guessing the wrong weight.
- A darts case. Every player needs one, plenty are still using the one that came in the box, and a good case protects barrels, flights and points in a kit bag. See darts case gifts.
- Flights or K-Flex from their favourite player. Personal, affordable and useful. Target's K-Flex system replaces the flight and shaft in one piece and comes in player designs, including Luke Littler's Born To Win range.
- Dartboard lighting. An upgrade many home players never get round to buying for themselves. A ring light removes the shadows a ceiling bulb casts across the board. See dartboard lighting gifts.
- A new board and surround. Bristle boards wear out with use. A fresh board, plus a surround to protect the wall, is a gift they will notice on every throw. See dartboard gifts and home setups.
- A gift card. The ArrowHeadz online gift card lets them choose their own darts, which matters because weight and grip are so personal.

Buying darts as a present: check three things first
A new set of darts is the gift most players want, and the one most likely to go wrong. Before you buy, try to find out:
- Weight. Usually printed on the barrel, the original packaging or the case insert. Most players sit somewhere in the low-to-mid 20s of grams, but a couple of grams either way feels very different in the hand. Our dart weight guide explains why.
- Steel-tip or soft-tip. Steel-tip darts go in a bristle board; soft-tip darts are for electronic boards. See steel-tip vs soft-tip darts.
- Point system. Many Target darts use Swiss Point, Red Dragon's (SP) darts use Switch Point and Shot's (TP) darts use threaded points. It matters if you are buying spare points.
Our full guide to buying darts as a gift walks through how to find this out without spoiling the surprise. If you can't, a case, lighting or gift card is the safer choice, and anyone near Livingston or Norwich can book a free try-before-you-buy session in one of our shops.
Gifts for the home darts setup
If the person has a board at home, upgrading the setup is one of the most appreciated presents. A complete setup has four parts: a bristle board, a surround to protect the wall, lighting to remove shadows, and a mat or oche to mark the 2.37m throwing line. Our darts gift sets and bundles combine several of these and are priced below buying each item separately.
For a full breakdown of what to buy at £100, £150, £200 and above, read our guide to the best home darts setup gifts. For the player who wants to track every throw, our auto-scorer and smart darts gifts include camera-based scoring systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Christmas gift for a darts player?
If you know their setup, darts or accessories from their favourite player. If you don't, a darts case, dartboard lighting, a new board and surround, or an ArrowHeadz gift card are safe gifts that work for any player.
What can I buy a darts player for under £20?
Player flights and K-Flex, flight punches, point sharpeners, grip wax, slim cases and throw lines all sit under £20. See our darts gifts under £20.
Should I buy darts as a gift if I don't know their weight?
It is risky. Darts that have been thrown count as used and can't be returned, so either find out their weight first or choose a gift that doesn't depend on it, like a case, lighting or a gift card.
What do you buy a darts player who has everything?
Upgrades they rarely buy for themselves: dartboard lighting, an auto-scoring system, a display stand or a premium case.
Do you offer free delivery on darts gifts?
Yes. UK orders over £50 get free delivery, including Express Shipping. Delivery times are estimates in business days.
Can online gift cards be used in your shops?
No. Online gift cards can only be used on our website, and in-store gift cards can only be used in our shops.
