Another feature this [inflatable soccer ball](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/15foot-inflatable) has is you can personalize it. If you’re getting this as a gift for your kid, you can put his or her name on it or put a family name so everyone can share it. While chances are you won’t confuse your ball with someone else’s, if someone tries to take your awesome personalized soccer ball you can simply point out your name.
