Help needed for football style hamper!

I am trying to find things to put in a football themed hamper for my son's friend who will be 8 in November. I have already found some training cones to use instead of a hamper but need some ideas of what to put inside as the cones are not very big so they will not hold a lot of things. I have already thought of the obvious chocolate footballs. He doesn't really prefer one team over another (besides England) which actually complicates things. Oh and one more thing...this is a boy who has everything (or soon will have) so I don't really want to spend a lot of money Any suggestions will be gratefully received!!
