Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and finding the ideal gift for your tennis-loving partner can feel like trying to come back from being 0-5 down. While traditional gifts like flowers and chocolates are nice, they often don’t resonate with someone passionate about tennis. This year, make a game-winning move with a gift that shows you truly know their interests. Below, I present ten surprising but practical gift ideas that will delight your tennis enthusiast.
Let’s explore ten unexpected gifts that are sure to impress!
Although tennis-themed jewelry may occasionally appear somewhat cheesy, these timeless diamond tennis ball studs in yellow gold definitely do not fit that description. Elegant and understated, they make an ideal addition to your sweetheart's jewelry collection. Whether worn solo or as part of an ear stack, they are the most charming way to express your passion for the sport. For a bolder statement, there's also a matching Diamond Ace Necklace available.
If you're going to embrace the gangster lifestyle, make it a spiritual journey! Founded by two globally acclaimed yoga teachers, this brand focuses on positive and mindful living. Their Love Shop offers adorable sweatshirts, bags, socks, and hats, ideal for subtly expressing your affection. I'm a fan of trucker hats, and this Lovers Club trucker is the perfect accessory to carry your zen from the yoga studio to the court.
Tennis-inspired artwork, available in various prints and sizes, makes an exceptional gift that enhances your partner's home or office. The range of sizes allows you to choose the perfect fit for your partner's decor, whether a large statement piece for a living room or a smaller print for a desk. With styles ranging from modern to classic, you can find something that matches your partner's taste.
I'm a bit embarrassed to admit how many pajama sets I have from Katie Kime. I have robes and pajamas in patterns like Tennis, Marfa, Nashville, and Charleston, among others. I've also given them as gifts, and they are always well-received. I adore the concept of giving a gift as a promise of future travel. If your partner has always dreamed of attending the US Open, present them with the New York City pajama set along with a promise to make it happen. The same idea works for the Charleston Open, Dallas Open, or Austin Open.
I've been a loyal fan of Hanky Panky for years, with their original lace thongs being a mainstay in my underwear drawer. I value the quality and affordability—after all, who doesn’t enjoy a great deal on something that covers so little? Their rewards program is a nice perk for frequent shoppers like me.
Recently, I discovered their wide range of lingerie, which is incredibly sexy without being outrageously priced! It offers choices you can easily wear under a dress for a date night, under sweats on movie night, or on its own. Their Valentine's Day shop is full of great options!
So, here’s to Hanky Panky! Where the thongs are playful, the bras are bold, and my laundry basket has never looked more stylish!
These fun travel-inspired stickers from Gucci are the ideal way to distinguish your partner's black suitcase. The set includes stickers for Mexico City, Toronto, New York, Dallas, and Atlanta (all stops on the professional tour), as well as Las Vegas, LA, São Paulo, Chicago, and Detroit.
Few things signify tennis season as well as a classic white sneaker. I adore this Stella McCartney version because they're versatile enough for both on-court and off-court wear, and I've yet to see anyone else sporting them! Give your girl a head start and impress her with this chic option.
I'm not a fan, but it looks like the clear bag policy is permanent. Ensure your partner is ready for all the fantastic tennis events in the spring by gifting her a stylish clear bag from Margo Paige. I own the semi-circle crossbody in black, and it's my favorite for concerts, festivals, games, and naturally, tennis events.
The most thoughtful gifts are those that your partner wouldn't buy for themselves. Although I invest quite a bit in skincare, I've never splurged on Crème de la Mer. It's a gentle way to express, "I love your skin, and you should appreciate it too!" Renowned for its remarkable healing and moisturizing abilities, it's a luxury she truly deserves. Winter can be particularly dry and harsh, especially outdoors. This cream is ideal for battling the elements.
This bag exudes nostalgic coolness. It's perfect as a gym bag, travel carry-on, or weekend getaway bag. A timeless classic that will always remain in style.
