Gift guide
Pickleball gifts they will actually wear
Paddles are personal. Shoes are sized. Novelty gadgets end up in a drawer by March. What reliably lands is something a player can wear to the courts, to brunch afterwards, and to the group chat photo nobody asked for.
Safe for any player
Unisex fit, no skill level implied, nothing that assumes what paddle they swing.
Easy sizing
S–2XL, true to size with a relaxed body. Size up if they like it roomy.
Free shipping over $65
Two tees or a tee and a cap usually clears it. Printed to order in 2–4 days.
Every design, gift-ready
We keep the catalog small on purpose, so this is the whole list. Hover a tee to see the back print.
What to skip
- Paddles. Weight, grip size, and core material are personal. A player who cares already has an opinion; a beginner is better off borrowing first.
- Court shoes. Sizing and support needs vary too much to guess.
- Ball machines and gadgets. Expensive, bulky, and almost always used twice.
Gift questions, answered
- What is a good gift for someone who plays pickleball?
- Something they will wear off the court. Paddles and shoes are personal, sized, and usually already chosen. A well-printed graphic tee or a cap works for almost any player and does not need to match their playing style.
- What size should I buy if I am not sure?
- Our tees are unisex and fit true to size with a relaxed body. If the person prefers an oversized fit, or you genuinely do not know, size up one. All sizes run S through 2XL.
- How long does shipping take?
- Every item is printed to order, so allow 2 to 4 business days for production plus 3 to 5 business days for standard US delivery. Order about two weeks ahead of a birthday or holiday to be safe.
- Can it be returned if the size is wrong?
- No. Because each item is printed to order, all sales are final. Check the size chart before ordering, and size up if you are between sizes.
