Unique Volleyball Gifts

If you know of volleyball players, getting them a volleyball-themed gift for their birthday, Christmas or other special event can be an easy and fun idea. It should be easy to find equipment, novelty items and activities that will suit their love for this sport. It also makes a great gift idea for those who play on a team, whether it's a present for finishing a great season or a congratulatory gift for winning a tournament.

  1. Personalized Volleyball

    • Go to your local print shop and ask about customizing a volleyball. It may be able to make one for you right at the shop. If not, it should have options for creating a decal that can be applied to a volleyball. If that is the case, go buy the volleyball you would like to use for the gift. Since the ball will be used for fun and not official game use, get one that has a fun, bright color or design. Take the ball to the print shop before it makes the decal to have it look at the material the ball is made of to make sure the decal will stick to the ball properly. Choose your decal design based on the player's favorite team or position. You can also have the player's name added to a ball. Another personalization idea is to include a message from you like: "We Believe in You! Love, Mom and Dad." This is a gift the player can cherish for years to come.

    Novelty T-Shirts

    • Hundreds of volleyball novelty T-shirts are for sale. Many can be found in volleyball equipment magazines (which you may be able to order for free online), sporting goods stores and through online retailers. These shirts often have humorous sayings like "Volleyball = Life," "Volleyball Mom," or "Peace, Love and Volleyball." These shirts are a great gift for players or fans who will enjoy showing off their favorite sport, and they are typically inexpensive to buy. Look for stores or magazines that offer a variety of colors and sizes so you can find the shirt that best suits your gift recipient.

    Game Tickets

    • Volleyball players and fans will appreciate getting tickets to an exciting volleyball game. It can also double as a fun way to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion. Include a gift certificate for them to go out for dinner before or after the game. Since professional volleyball teams are rare, try looking up the schedule for a nearby college volleyball team. Even some high school teams are very competitive and fun to watch.
