Choosing a Gift For a Pickleball Fan or Fanatic when You don’t Play
Choosing a Gift For a Pickleball Fan or Fanatic when You don’t Play.
Pickleball has become a popular sport for people of all ages because it offers a little something for everyone regardless of age, size, or experience level. If you are looking for a pickleball-themed gift to celebrate this passion, the Pickleball Gifts at PickleballersHub.com, is the best place not only to begin, but also to finish your search.
If you have a pickleball lover in your life or are one yourself, great pickleball gifts can help make the sport even more enjoyable. But when it comes to giving a present to a pickleball fan, but you don’t play the game yourself, we suggest focusing on products that are more stylishly pleasing such as pajamas, socks, sweatshirts, t shirts, hats, mugs or glasses, cooling towels, tote bags, greeting cards, Christmas Tree ornaments, keychains or jewelry with clever or striking pickleball designs, rather than considering buying actual equipment.
There are plenty of articles with headlines such as 10 Best Gifts for Pickleball Players, The Best Gifts for Pickleball Players in 2024, The 13 Best Gifts for Pickleball Fans According to Pros and Coaches, or 20 Best Pickleball Gifts for Anyone Who Loves the Sport that present options. Their lists of products / gifts are impressive. We have observed that pickleball paddles are always part of those lists. However, selecting a paddle for a Pickleball player is not just selecting a paddle because it has a striking and colorful graphic design. Picking the best pickleball paddle requires pairing the most important elements of a paddle with a player's skill and style. The critical avenue to finding the best pickleball paddle for a person’s ability and playing style is understanding the proper balance of core material and thickness, face material, paddle weights, and grip size of the paddle. Whew, not so simple is it?
Therefore, put aside the idea of buying a paddle for your pickleball playing friend or family member and instead focus on the types of gifts featured on our pickleball gifts pages.
And so not to be left out from expressing our favorites, I will now present my own Pickle Ballers Hub List of 10 Favorite Gifts from a non-Player. But don’t let this list limit your own search. We offer so many fantastic and varied options on this site, so get ready to shop.

This rayon from bamboo blend is made from ultra-fine yarn for a luxurious feel that's downright divine. They're naturally lightweight and moisture wicking, designed to provide just the right amount of tension, support, and stretch so you can feel and play your best all day long. $10.00

My daughter complained that there aren’t any pickleball pajamas her size, so I occasionally lend her the tops which she then wears as oversized night shirts.

A friend bought this keychain for her mother along with a Franklin X-40 Performance Outdoor Pickleballs 100-pack in yellow for her birthday. The gifts were a smash hit!
Just Dink It 20 oz Pickleball Tumbler
The Just Dink It Tumbler is made from 304 stainless steel and the design is permanently laser etched into the powder coat. The design will not peel or fade unlike vinyl decals and stickers. Clear lid is included and the hole on the lid is big enough for a straw. Double-wall vacuum insulation means the cup will not sweat and it keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. Mug has a narrower bottom to fit most standard cupholders. Ridges provide a secure grip. $30.00
Dinking is one of the most important parts of any player’s pickleball game. This is a great gift for a player who is a great dinker!
My 5 year old grandson is at the age where certain words make him howl with laughter, think butt etc. Dink turned out to be one of those words. When his grandpapa received this Just Dink It Pickleball Tumbler, it was the hit of the birthday party not only for the receiver, but also his grandson. “Dink, dink, dink it!” became the mantra of the night and the next day, and the day after.
Georgie + Lou Cheetah Pickleball Bag
The Georgie + Lou Cheetah Pickleball Bag is a stylish heavy duty, quality bag with zippered pockets, 2 removable carry straps, and an exterior mesh back pocket make this bag convenient for holding all your Pickleball gear, as well as one’s daily essentials. The online reviews for this bag are outstanding. $156.00
Some of us here at Pickle Ballers Hub are (I admit I am one) obsessed with this bag. It easily hangs from the gate, holds everything, good on the court and when I take it shopping I get nods of approval. Strongly recommend.

I’ve dropped numerous hints to my pickleball playing partner that I thought it would make the perfect compliment to the CZ ring that he gave me for our anniversary. I hope he takes the hint. Valentine’s Day is approaching.
Pickleball Themed Stack Pads
These 5.25 “x 6.5” Themed Stack Notepads of 100 text weight sheets have different whimsical pickleball designs and are available in five different colored borders. $22.50
Clever, delightful, & playful. I suspect that all/most us at Pickle Baller Hub use these notepads at work and I certainly do as well at home. They make great stocking stuffers at Christmas for those Pickleball fanatics. You know who you are.

The soft watercolor technique of the various pickleball paddles bring back memories of warm weather, sunny days playing pickleball with folks. I have received lots of compliments and inquiries as to where I purchased my tumbler while I taking a break from the game. I have bought four so far. They are also perfect for drinking slightly stronger refreshments while sitting out on my deck with friends relaxing in the early evening after an afternoon of play.

Super-absorbent, quick-drying and ultra-compact, with a soft, suede-like feel, our pickleball towel saves space in your gear bag. $18.00
All the pickleball sport’s towel designs at pickleballershub.com are snappy and/or have colorful graphic designs. It was a hard decision and you may find a different one you prefer. That’s quite all right. But whichever microfiber pickleball towel you choose, the recipient will be grateful as they use it to wipe the sweat from their face, arms or legs. FYI: serious players get sweaty
Let me just say, it was difficult just selecting ten options for pickleball gifts. Opinions flew as other team members looked over my shoulder. Perhaps each of us at Pickle Ballers Hub should create their own list and I could post each. Nah. Even my grandson had his opinion of which gift should be on the list. He gave me the thumbs up on the Just Dink It Pickleball Tumbler, but he also wanted the Total Baller Pickleball Vinyl Sticker on the list. He has one on his school lunch box and all his friends think it’s cool.
Now, once you have chosen your Pickleball gift don’t forget to check out the clever and cute Pickleball birthday cards we offer.
