Pickleball Holiday Gift Guide

Looking for gifts for pickleball players? Whether you're dealing with a dinker or a driver, the holiday season is the perfect time to snag some pickleball gear for the pickleball lover in your life. We've taken the guesswork out of your Christmas shopping, with a fun wrap-up of gifts for pickleball players.

Thinking of sharing or taking up America's fastest-growing sport? Gifting a sweet set of paddles and gear can also be a fantastic way to entice friends and family to try out this beloved game. We can't resist pickleball goodies, so we're sharing a list of top gifts for pickleball players (from fanatics to beginners). As a bonus, we've also included a round-up of gifts from other companies we enjoy (nothing is sponsored, we just think these things are cool!).

Happy shopping, Big Dills!

The Best Pickleball Bag

As you grow in your game, players will need more room for gear! Our Pickleback Pickleball Bag can hold everything you need for pickleball. Plus, it comes in black, green, and pink, which stands out at the court.

Stuff it with paddles, snacks, and even shoes. The cooler compartment and soft, lined paddle slots are ideal for long days at the court. Because higher-level pickleball players may be picky about paddles and balls, this pickleball bag makes an awesome choice for the hardcore player or someone who is spending more time at the club, tournaments, or park.

Pickleball Paddle Sets 

With their unique designs that make you smile, our pickleball paddles sets are ideal for beginners and beyond. Plus, they won USA Today's top gift for families last year! Each of our paddles are USA Pickleball approved, meaning they're ideal for all levels of play. Grab a 2-pack paddle set for your retired parents or active teens.

The Original Paddle Set and Infinity Paddle Set come with two paddles with neoprene covers, two outdoor pickleballs, and a green carry bag. 

Gift Some Pickleball Accessories

Can you believe some expensive paddles don't come with protective covers? We got you! Our green and black neoprene paddle covers fit most paddles, feature a high-quality zipper, and are the perfect inexpensive gift.

Looking for a pickleball stocking stuffer? Try our pickleball paddle keychain or four-pack of pickleballs. People love our balls as trophies for tournaments, gifts for friends, or just as extra balls for your next game.

Pickleball Gifts from Our Favorite Brands

In the spirit of pickleball gift-giving, we're sharing some favorites from other companies we love. 

Not only is the art on this Boardwalk Pickleball Puzzle really detailed and awesome, it also features our Lime Green Unisex Logo Shirt! We spotted this puzzle at Costco, but it's also available online. Because pickleball players have great hands and minds, we think a puzzle would make a fun family gift for the holidays and beyond.

Shopping for gifts for women who love pickleball? Look no further. Picklebelle has high-quality, fun jewelers that's as minimalist or as blingy as you like. From necklaces to keychains, their jewelry is super cute and durable for a women's pickleball gift.

Smells like concrete, cucumbers, and salt! This Homesick Pickleball Court Candle would be a fun addition to your pickleball friends' homes. Snag it for your league winner or as a fun pickleball white elephant gift.

Have an elderly pickleball lover? This PickleUpper paddle end cap won't interfere with their game and allows anyone to quickly and easily pick up loose balls. It's also cheap enough to make a great stocking stuffer!

Serving up a fashionable sun shade and statement, the Girl Tribe Weekends Are for Pickleball Hat is the perfect antidote for hard-to-shop-for recipients. The bright blue color is sure to be a stand-out hit.

No, YOUR mom plays pickleball. This Altar'd State Mrs. Claus Pickleball Ornament is made of beautiful old-world-style glass and would add a funky feel to any Christmas tree or holiday decor. Plus, it'll make people laugh.

Edible is always in! We got these Claussen Gummy Pickles last year for our pickleball league friends and they were a huge hit. Also, they're green apple flavored (not pickle) so they're actually tasty. Snag these at Walmart or online for a cheap, easy stocking stuffer. 

Ready to relax and read? This new pickleball-themed romance book would be just the ticket for pickleball retreats, girls' trips, road trip tournaments, and cruises. Pickleballers by Ilana Long is a romantic comedy that takes place on Bainbridge Island, the birthplace of pickleball. Snag this one for your wife, sister, or mom.

Ok, we know it's a trendy item. But for real, the neon 40oz Stanley Tumbler is where it's at. Not only does the bright color reduce beverage confusion when you're at a crowded court, but the insulated mug keeps your drinks cool for up to 8 hours. We have this in yellow and green and get tons of comments every time we take it to the court.

For those playing pickleball in warm weather, we think this the Vacation Classic Spray is the best sunscreen for pickleball. It's easy to reapply and it really does smell amazing! Keep it in your pickleball bag all summer long. 

Who doesn't love a custom item? The MYPadL Pickleball Band is a pickleball paddle band that you can customize with a name, club, or anything else you want to say. For those who play a lot of pickup games where you play "paddle up," this would be an awesome gift or stocking stuffer.

That's it! We hope this list helps you with pickleball gifts and gifts for a person who loves pickleball. Whether they're a beginner, pro, or just hard to shop for, we think life is better with pickleball!
