Christmas shopping for the sporty members of your family doesn’t need to be complicated. This year, tuck something into their stocking they’ll genuinely use all season: dentist-designed mouth protection from OPRO.
Whether you're buying for a child starting rugby at school, a partner who boxes twice a week, or a friend who's just joined a hockey club, OPRO mouthguards make brilliant practical presents with a real “you’ll thank me later” vibe. They're designed by a dentist, backed by a Dental Warranty, and trusted by over 10 million athletes worldwide. And with training sessions kicking off again after the festive break and fixtures ramping up in January, there’s no better time to get their kit sorted before they head back to the pitch, court, or ring.
From £4.99 to £29.99, there’s a protection level to suit every sport, budget, and gifting moment. Here’s how to pick the right one.
Best Stocking Filler Gifts for Sporty Kids & Adults
It might not be the most sparkly present in the pile, but for anyone who plays contact sport, a mouthguard is one of those little gifts that ends up being a big deal. Here’s why it’s such a festive win:
- They’ll actually use it – essential for rugby, hockey, boxing, martial arts and more
- Proper protection, no drama – helps protect teeth and jaw without getting in the way

- Ready for the new-year restart – perfect for January training, matches, sparring and PE
