Another idea is to give pro shop items!

Many gyms sell everything from socks and accessories, to jackets and practice wear.

You can get items from your own gym if possible, or other gyms that the gift receiver is a fan of.


9. Gift cards

If you’re not sure what to get, or maybe what size or color – giving a gift card is perfect!

It can be both from a site that offers gift cards, but also one that doesn’t (a pro shop for example). If a site doesn’t offer one, you can make your own and give the athlete an amount of money to shop for.

A simple but very appreciated idea!

If you live outside the United States or United Kingdom, chances are that most major competition live streams aren’t available to watch.

There is a way to watch the events anyway, and that is by using a VPN. This could make a great gift for any athlete who wants to watch more competitions!

We put together a guide that explains how this works + our favorite VPN, that you can read by clicking here.
