Luke Littler takes Christmas by storm with £15 item named must-have present
Teenage darts sensation Luke Littler is selling artwork, playing tops, and magnetic dartboards, billed as 'exclusive collector's items' to celebrate his meteoric success
Darts ace Luke Littler is knocking autographs at £109 a pop for Christmas - along with £15 boards aimed at kids.
Devotees of the teenage sensation can get artwork of the arrows sensation in action at the oche with his moniker after he started plugging them on social media.
He’s also selling Luke the Nuke playing tops for £40 and darts for between £12 and £80 for his match-day professional versions. Buyers are told of the work of Luke, 17, from Warrington: "Be among the select few to own this exclusive collector’s item, celebrating a pivotal moment in darting history.
"Commemorating his debut performance, each piece is individually hand-signed and comes with a special Collector’s Edition Display Card, uniquely numbered to indicate your piece out of only 100 produced."
Luke’s remarkable skills have also sparked a darting fever among children nationwide, with one particular item tipped to be the must-have this Christmas.
The kid-friendly Magnetic Dartboard Set, which is currently on sale for £15, boasts a robust double-sided magnetic board featuring a classic dartboard on one side and an archery target on the other.
It’s not just about fun; playing darts can enhance hand-eye coordination and mental arithmetic, making it an educational toy for kids. Plus, the magnetic design means it’s safe for youngsters eager to emulate their new hero, makers boast.
Narin Flanders, a shopping writer, hailed the set as a top festive purchase after giving it a whirl at this year’s Big Christmas Show.
She said: "Luke Littler famously picked up his first set of darts as a toddler and this magnetic set is a budget-friendly, safe way to get all the family playing together. Initially, when I saw it I assumed it’d be a cash-in with little replay value - we’ve all played with magnetic toys where you’ve things don’t stick properly and the build quality isn’t as good as the idea of the game.
"This is completely different. When you throw the darts they land on the board with a satisfying thunk and stick properly meaning you can have a proper game. The double-sided board is a nice touch and everything about it makes it the perfect reasonably-priced present that will see everyone wanting a go come Christmas Day."
Reviewers on Amazon look to have been impressed to date too.
One said: "I ordered this for my 8 and 11-year-old sons and they love it. Out of the box, it feels really good quality. You get a sticky-backed hook to hang the board on and this has lasted really well and shows no sign of coming unstuck."
Another chimed in with their own praise: "This set comes out now EVERY time the nephews come round - and to be honest a few times when the wife and I are on our own. It’s such good fun."
