Hummel: last-minute gifts

Gift ideas Hummel with no size risk

When time is short, it’s best to go for a Hummel gift that doesn’t raise any sizing issues. The chevron sports socks, often sold in packs, are useful for every session and wear out quickly for a club player: you can never have too many. The hat keeps you warm in the stands or on the way to training. The sports bag, with a separate compartment for shoes, keeps the outfit and gym shoes organised without mixing them up. For clothing, a loose-fitting sweatshirt or a training t-shirt offers a comfortable margin if you’re not quite sure of the recipient's size.

From Danish selection to handball courts

Founded in 1923 in Hamburg, Hummel became Danish in the early 1980s, taken over by entrepreneurs linked to several international footballers from the country. It then outfitted the Denmark team, whose two-tone shirt from the 1986 World Cup remains one of the most talked-about in football history. The brand later rooted itself in handball, a very popular sport in Scandinavia, with club shirts, balls, and indoor shoes. Its chevrons, present since 1964, connect these two worlds and also inspire its vintage-inspired line, widely worn off the pitch.

A handball that's appropriate for the player's category

The handball makes an ideal last-minute gift, provided you know the player's category. Size 0 is for beginners; size 1 suits boys up to twelve years old and girls up to fourteen years old; size 2 is for teenagers and older female players; size 3 is for men. A soft-shelled training ball tolerates the rough catches of beginners, while a match ball offers a firmer touch. A small needle pump, tucked into the package, allows you to inflate it to the pressure indicated near the valve.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell if a Hummel item will arrive before Christmas?

Items in this selection are available immediately, prepared and shipped within 24 hours. The total time then depends on the delivery method, displayed before checkout: in December, it’s wise to choose the quickest option.

What does the bumblebee in the Hummel logo represent?

Hummel means bumblebee in German, the language of the country where the brand was born. The insect has featured on the logo since the start, and the brand has made it a symbol of tenacity: reputed to be too heavy to fly, the bumblebee flies anyway.

What should I do if the size of a gifted garment is not suitable?

Keep the item new, with its tags and original packaging, and then request an exchange within the time allowance as per the sales conditions. A loose sweatshirt or pack of socks minimizes this risk better than a fitted jersey.

What Hummel gift is suitable for a vintage style lover?

A sweatshirt or jacket from the retro-inspired line, featuring contrasting chevrons, can be worn in the city just as easily as at the stadium. Models that borrow from the 1980s styles evoke the golden age of the Danish national team.

Can I have a Hummel gift delivered to the recipient?

Yes, you just need to enter their address as the delivery address when placing the order. Check the name on the mailbox and the access code for the building to avoid having the parcel returned during the holiday season.
