Snooker gifts for every budget

Buying for someone who plays snooker or pool? Start with your budget. The safest presents are the things every player gets through: chalk, tips, gloves and a proper case. A cue is a lovely gift too, but it's personal, so it works best for a beginner or when you know the length and weight they like.

Ordering for Christmas: AliExpress takes two to four weeks to reach the UK, so order those by mid-November. Later than that, use the fast-delivery Amazon UK picks below. 11 of our products are on sale right now.

Questions people ask

What is a good gift for a snooker player?

If you don't know their cue, stick to things every player uses up: good chalk, a tip kit, a glove or a cue case. A new cue is a great present but personal, so it suits beginners or someone who has told you what they want (length, weight and tip size).

When should I order for Christmas?

AliExpress deliveries to the UK usually take two to four weeks, so order by mid-November. Amazon UK Prime orders normally arrive in one or two days, which makes them the safer choice from December onwards.

Is a cheap snooker cue worth giving as a present?

For a beginner, yes: a straight ash 3/4 jointed cue with a 9.5 to 10mm tip is all they need for the first year. For an established player, spend the money on accessories instead, because they will already have a cue they like.
