Top Five Tennis Christmas Gifts - For Him
🎾 Gift Ideas for the Tennis Guy in Your Life (Christmas Edition)
If you’ve got a tennis-obsessed friend, partner, or family member, Christmas holidays are the perfect excuse to upgrade their tennis game. Here are five gifts that say “I get you… and your backhand.”
🎁 Top 5 Gift Picks
Nike Swoosh Headband
$16.99
A simple but essential gift. Whether they’re smashing serves in the winter leagues or doing cardio-tennis drills under fluorescent gym lights, a sweat-wicking headband is a subtle but practical win. Perfect for everyday players, cardio-tennis goers, or anyone who sweats a little too much on the court. 😉 Sometimes subtle touches (and sweat-free foreheads) make the difference between a good and a great practice session.
Nike Everyday Plus Cushioned Socks
$44.99 for a 6-pack
Great for everyday use on and off the court. Thanks to cushioning under the heel and forefoot, plus moisture‑wicking fabric and arch support, these socks help keep feet comfortable and dry even after long matches or training sessions. And let's face it, not everyone thinks to buy their own socks. It's one of those things we wait till the end of the year or our birthdays to get gifted.
For the dedicated player who hits a lot. This hopper is a dream for solo practice: convenient for collecting dozens of balls at once so they can spend less time chasing and more time working on that topspin. Also great for coaches who run drills, or anyone always hitting with friends and has no time to waste bending down to pick up balls. Great solution for people who has back issues!
Babolat Pure 6 Pack Wimbledon Tennis Racquet Bag
$159
A classy and functional way to carry racquets, shoes, towels, and all the extras. With room for multiple racquets and gear, it’s ideal for matches, tournaments, or weekend sessions. This bag holds up to 6 racquets and is well-insulated to ensure your racquets are protected no matter the weather! It's even got it's own shoe pouch! And just look at it! It's so trendy yet refined with the grey lettering and beige trimming all over. Nothing says Wimbledon like the white color of the bag! For those who treat tennis like a lifestyle: multiple racquets, shoes, overgrips, towels — this keeps everything organized.
Babolat Pure Aero 98 Tennis Racquet
$349.99
Last but certainly not the very least, for the big hitter or dedicated player. This racquet gives power, spin and control in a sleek package. A gift like this shows you really understand their game (or want to help them dominate the court). You really have to know the person as racquets are a personal preference. But you also have to love them A LOT as this doesn't come cheap. If you know they’ve been pushing hard to improve, or if they’ve been talking about changing racquets — this hits all the right notes.
Also, I've made a video on this if you want to check out more details.
