10 Gift Ideas for Squash Players

Buying for someone who lives on the squash court?

Choosing gifts for squash players can be surprisingly difficult. They already have a favourite racket, know exactly which grip they like and probably own more sports socks than they need. The trick is to choose something useful, personal or genuinely funny. Here are ten ideas for birthdays, Christmas, tournament prizes and thank-you gifts.

1. Personalised printed squash balls

A squash ball printed with a name, short message or club logo makes a distinctive small gift. Two Dots offers printed squash balls, with options depending on the design and ball type. It is particularly good for a squash partner who already has all the usual kit.

2. Fresh racket grips

A pack of replacement grips is a practical stocking filler. If you know the recipient’s preferred grip thickness or brand, even better.

3. A squash towel

A compact sports towel is useful between games, especially after a tough five-game match. Add initials or a club name for a more personal touch.

4. Protective eyewear

Suitable protective eyewear is a thoughtful safety-focused present, particularly for juniors. Check fit and applicable standards before buying.

5. A session with a coach

A lesson can be a great gift for someone who wants to improve a specific part of their game. Ask their club about available coaching vouchers.

6. A replacement-ball bundle

A selection of the ball type they actually use is practical and easy to appreciate. Do not assume every player needs double yellow dots; ask about their level and court conditions.

7. A tournament entry

Paying the entry fee for a local competition gives a competitive player something to look forward to. Check the date and eligibility first.

8. A squash-themed mug or desk gift

For the player who talks about squash even when they are not playing, a light-hearted squash-themed desk accessory can work well.

9. A racket bag or kit organiser

A simple kit organiser helps keep shoes, grips, goggles and balls together. Check what they already own before buying a large bag.

10. A personalised club challenge prize

Organise a mini-tournament or accuracy contest and present a printed squash ball as the prize. It is inexpensive in spirit, memorable and gives everyone a reason to play another match.

How to choose the right gift

Think about whether the player is a beginner, regular club player or serious competitor. Practical accessories suit frequent players, while personalised squash gifts work especially well for celebrations and friendly rivalries. For printed products, check lead times and the available customisation before ordering.
