Gift Ideas: Chess Sets and Chessboards

Start with the player's level and taste: a beginner will appreciate a simple, easy-to-read, compact set, while an experienced player will value a tournament-sized set in fine wood. If you're unsure, a historical theme or a gift box with storage makes a safe choice. A gift card leaves the decision open.

Yes, for certain sets: engraving a plaque or a box lets you personalise a gift with a name or dedication. Check the personalised chess sets page to see which models qualify and under what conditions, with no guarantee on timing.

Gift boxes are presented with care. For other sets, let us know when ordering or contact customer service, who can advise on the options available. No delivery date can be guaranteed in advance, so it's best to order early for a specific occasion.
