Are you trying to buy a gift for someone in your life that loves sports? Maybe your partner, or a teen that you know. Whoever it is, buying a sporting related gift is a great way to show them that you’re supporting them on their health and fitness journey. I love buying gifts that are relevant for someone’s hobbies, because I know they’ll enjoy them and use them regularly, which makes it even more special. If you want to get someone a sporty gift, but are not sure where to start, then keep reading to learn my top five sporty gift ideas.


1. Sporting Accessories
I’m a big fan of accessories, but they can be extremely useful for sport lovers too. For example if someone you are wanting to buy a gift for loves yoga, why not get them a yoga mat carry case? It will help them easily transport their yoga mat to their classes, kept it protected in case of bad weather and it shows that you support them with their sport. Likewise, if they’re a lover of badminton, you could invest in Badminton Bags so that they can keep all their gear in one place.

2. Sports Vouchers
I am a big fan of vouchers when you kind of know what you want to get, but aren’t exactly sure. There are many ways you can buy a sporting related voucher, but depending on the hobby, maybe it would make sense to buy a pass for classes or gym access for a set period of time. For example if they love boxing, why not buy them a monthly pass to a local boxing gym. You could also invest in some vouchers for some private classes so they can really excel in their hobby.

3. Sports Clothing
Some sports require specialised clothing or gear, such as football boots. But often generic sportswear can be used for most sports. If you’re not sure of the exact clothing size or style that your loved one would prefer, maybe it’s best to focus on a voucher to a sports clothing shop so that they can choose something they’d love. Or if you’d like to be bold and choose something, be sure to include an exchange voucher so that they can exchange it or swap it for something completely different if they need to.

4. A Skateboard
Many of us dreamed of learning how to properly ride a skateboard in our youth, but how many of us actually realised this dream? You’re never too old to start learning, all you’ll need is a Skateboard and a bit of enthusiasm to give it a real go. It’s a great way to get active, enjoy the weather as it warms up, and learn a new skill. Buying someone a skateboard opens up a whole new hobby for them to explore and can be very thoughtful if you know it’s something they’re interested in but haven’t got around to buying for themselves quite yet.

5. A Smart Watch
If you’d like to get them a gift that can help them feel more motivated in almost all sporting areas of their lives, then a smart watch can be a great idea. There are so many different brands to choose from, including a variety at different price points. But the majority of smart watches have sports features such as the ability to monitor your heart rate, as well as counting how many steps you take and measuring your overall activity. This can be a great way to help someone feel more motivated with their health and fitness goals.

If you have a sporty person in your life and you’re stuck for present ideas, I hope that these suggestions have helped you feel inspired. There are so many ways you can show support for their passions and interests through these gift ideas.
