Life’s In Between Celebrations
Last spring, a mom asked if I had a suggestion for a baseball player gift for a senior who was graduating on her older son’s team. I have my go-to coach gifts, goodie bag favors and even team mom gifts, but other special occasions? I was stumped. But I love a challenge so I got to thinking what I would want if I were leaving a team of friends that I had played with for many years. Here are a few ideas for a baseball player gift for all of life’s special occasions.
Baseball Player Gifts to Enhance Their Game
If you’re celebrating a player who will continue to play baseball, here are a few great options that will enhance his game. These ideas make great birthday presents, stocking stuffers or an end of season gift for a player leaving the team. A player can always use new baseball swag.
- Performance Apparel
- Batting Gloves– Gloves wear out after one season of constant wear and tear. A new pair of batting gloves is a perfect baseball player gift that can easily be placed in a small bag or stocking.
- Compression Shirt– These shirts are great in the summer because they’re lightweight and in the winter as a base layer. As a sports mom, more shirts = less laundry frequency.
- Baseball Arm Sleeve– It’s all about the drip. Ask any athlete, regardless of sport.
- Training Equipment
- Portable Hitting Net– This is a great gift from a team since it’s a little pricier than other items.
- Weighted Balls– These balls come in packs of 3, 6 and 12 and are a great way to practice at home.
- Weighted Bat– Similar to weighted balls, a weighted bat is a great addition to at-home training.
- Batting Tee with Practice Balls– Compact and portable, a batting tee is a timeless gift. Throw in some with extra practice balls and kids can work on their swing at home.
- Tickets to a Game- While material possessions are great options for a baseball player gift, don’t forget about experiences. Buying tickets to a minor or major league game is a great way to spend time with the someone special.
Personalized Baseball Player Gifts:
- Baseball Display Case- By the time you’re a senior, you’ve collected LOTS of game balls, trophies and other memorabilia. A baseball display case is a practical gift that celebrates the accomplishments of that athlete.
- Custom Baseball Jersey- Kids love swag and a custom baseball jersey is a great gift! Pick the color, style and logo of their favorite team. Personalized soccer goalie jerseys are also great for soccer fans.
- Commemorative Team Photo or Plaque- A team photo may sound cheesy, but it’s always a great baseball player gift for a senior or someone leaving a team. It’s something small that reminds them of an old team or home.
No matter your budget or the occasion, there’s a perfect gift out there for the baseball athlete you want to celebrate. Just find the one (or two) that conveys the kind of thank you that he deserves!
