2. USA Pickleball Membership

Picklers looking to get serious with their game can benefit from a USA Pickleball Membership. According to their website, members get exclusive perks, court access, and resources including tailored content to help them train.

The casual membership is free, but higher tiers provide more member benefits including an annual store credit, member gifts, and access to play in tournaments all for a low yearly cost.

3. Pickleball Court Shoes

The right pair of pickleball shoes can make or break your game, so players are specific about their footwear. Ask your loved one if they’ve had their eye on a particular pair and do some research on how to choose the best pickleball shoes.

If you want to surprise them, Skechers® Viper Court Pro pickleball shoes for men and women are often rated the best pickleball shoes. They are also the official footwear of PPA, MLP, and USA Pickleball.

4. Portable Pickleball Net

Practice makes perfect and a portable pickleball net is the best way to elevate any driveway pickleball game. Ideal for practicing pickleball at home or fitting in some time to play while traveling for work, a portable net should meet the official size requirements and be effortless to set up.

5. Court Socks

For a classic gift idea, consider Os1st® pickleball socks. Available in crew sock and no-show styles, they are the official socks of MLP. They also feature impact protection, blister prevention, and special cooling technology for sweaty matches.

The left and right design with compression materials along the arch help ensure an anatomic fit, making these socks the perfect complement to the highly customized support of CURREX pickleball insoles.

6. The Perfect Carry-All Bag

Pickleball bags come in all shapes, sizes and colors. From backpacks to duffels and even custom pickleball totes, these carry-all bags should fit all their gear with a functional yet stylish design.

Canvas pickleball totes make perfect pickleball gifts for her including totes that have an external pocket for paddles and compartments for valuables. For over-the-shoulder styles, look for features like extra padding, adjustable straps, and reflective strips.

7. Paddle Eraser

How long pickleball paddles last depends on the duration, frequency and intensity of play. Keeping them in good shape may help promote their longevity. A pickleball paddle eraser is one way to keep up on paddle maintenance.

Made of soft rubber, paddle erasers remove scratches, blemishes or debris that may dull the paddle’s shine. Plus, players get a better spin when serving with a clean paddle.

8. Performance Clothes for Him & Her

If you’ve ever watched a pickleball match, you’ll see players dressed to the nines in their favorite attire. From colorful skorts and headbands to sleek T-shirts and tanks, comfortable and breathable apparel helps keep them cool and prevents chafing.

Pickleball gifts for him include shirts and shorts with moisture-wicking, quick dry fabric and UPF sun protection for playing outdoors. For her, we recommend a halter tank and skort set with stretchy materials that allow for agile movement.

9. Indoor/Outdoor Pickleballs

Yes, there are differences between indoor and outdoor pickleballs. Indoor balls tend to be lighter and more durable, but that won’t help if the pickler on your list plays mostly outdoors. Instead, stuff their stockings with a pack of each so they have a set for now and a set for when the season starts in the spring.

10. No-Tie Shoelaces

No-tie shoelaces are a smart hack for securing footwear in place. They take seconds to adjust, cutting the time it takes to get ready in half. With this stocking stuffer, players won’t have to worry about their laces coming undone in the middle of a match and they’ll love the added convenience.

11. Massage Gun

Long sessions can leave a player feeling sore. A massage gun works out muscle tension and improves circulation to promote faster recovery and reduce the risk of injuries. This everyday therapy tool helps get rid of post-match aches and pains, so they never miss a day of intense pickling.

12. Pickleball Christmas Ornament

If you’re in a crunch to buy the right gift, Christmas ornaments make excellent pickleball presents. There are plenty of pre-made ornaments online as well as customizable options from miniature paddles to ornaments that look like your loved one.
