My pickleball group and I are always looking for occasions to get together. We are about to host our annual Holiday Round Robin as well as our Holiday party. I always co-organize it and need gifts for both the winners as well as people that just participated.
We want affordable but cute items – just a fun, token of appreciation for participating and a memento for them to remember our day. However, you can spend a lot of time sifting through the choices. So I thought I’d share what we are using to make it a little easier to find before your next gathering.
When can you use these gifts?
- As party favors at a Pickleball Party
- Winners or participant gifts at round robins and tournaments
- At Holiday Parties for players
- At Birthday Parties for players
- A holiday or birthday gift for fellow players
- Any occasion you want to have a little fun with your fellow players
Moderately priced gifts, perfect for winners
I found this pickleball gift set that had an assortment of fun items inside. I decided to break them up into 3 gifts (first, second, and third) place. It really made it affordable. It is packaged in a nice box so you could give it as one gift instead.
Inside my box was a pickleball cap, tumbler, socks, tote bag, note pad, stickers, key chain, card, and zipper pouch. Check out the details.
I sorted the gifts into 3 gift bags. One for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. I added a bottle of Champagne to the winner’s bag.
Other ideas of items you could add or use instead
- A bottle of wine or champagne
- Homemade cookies
- A pickleball T-shirt or athletic shirt
- A nice jam or elegant or homemade food item
- A box of candy
- Pickleballs (always a hit!)
Participant Gift Ideas and Smaller Party Favors
Pickleball Pens
I gave these out as a participant gift. Everyone can always use a pen and these are super cute with the paddles and balls.
I plan to wrap little ribbons around 2 and give them out. You could also put them in a nice basket and let people grab them. Check them out.
Pickleball Earrings
How fun are these pickleball earrings. Check out the different styles
Other small gift ideas
- Key chains with Pickleballs on them (can also be used as an ornament)
- Candy
Elegant gift ideas that work for mixed doubles
Charcuterie board shaped like a pickleball paddle
This would be such a hit to serve at the next pickleball gathering. Check it out.
Drinking glasses or Tumblers
We gave this tumbler to our second place winner last year. They loved it. I could see it making a fun white elephant gift as well. Check it out.
The social party of pickleball is truly the best part of the game for me. Spicing up a party with some fun and cute gifts really does make a difference, and can add to the laughs and good times. That makes for an event filled with leisure and joy.
