If you have a young friend or family member who plays tennis, you would have noticed that they are really passionate about their game. Most people who play tennis take it very seriously as it is a source of great enjoyment and recreation for them. They will absolutely love it if you gave them a gift that is related to tennis.
If you however do not know much about tennis, this article will give you enough pointers to accumulate some tennis related gift ideas.
Consider a tennis gift basket A gift basket is when you buy a lot of items with the same theme and then put it in a basket. Instead of a basket in this case, you can use a nice sporty tennis bag and fill it up with goodies such as tennis balls, wrist bands, towels, a couple of sports drinks or anything else that is related to the game of tennis. Other things to include would a good tennis magazine or maybe even some DVDs on proper tennis technique.
Sneakers Tennis players usually wear very specific footwear. Go to a sports store and specifically ask for tennis shoes. You can then choose a pair that will be right in size and style for the person that you want to gift it to.
Apparel Just like shoes, tennis also has separate apparel available for the sport. You will find t-shirts and shorts that are made up of very special material that are very porous in nature. Tennis related apparel is usually a bit more expensive than regular sportswear although they will be well appreciated when received as a gift.
Tennis Racquet This would probably be the most obvious gift for the tennis player although you will most probably buy them a racquet that they cannot really use. Tennis players have very specific tastes when it comes to a racquet. There are so many things that are involved in buying a tennis racquet such as weight, balance, tension level and so on. Your best bet would be to buy them a gift certificate at a good sports shop so they can buy their own tennis racquet after sampling it out.
DVD Every tennis player has an idol. Depending on who it is, search online and look for DVDs related to that idol. You will find that a lot of stores sell collectors items which will showcase great matches or clippings of that particular player. Your tennis player friend or family member will absolutely love this gift as they love to watch their hero again and again.
Tickets to a tennis game Depending on where you live, there might be a major ATP event at a tennis center close by. If there is one, you can definitely buy tickets to that tournament as tennis lovers will love to watch their stars in person. You can look up the ATP official website to look at the schedule to see if there is one close to your city.
Coaching lessons This is more of an innovative gift that would be greatly appreciated, especially if one is trying to improve their game. Go to a local tennis club and pay for a few lessons with which your friend or relative could try to perfect or improve their game.
With the gifts above, you can definitely please your tennis loving friend this Christmas.
