Padel gifts for him and her: 10 ideas from €15

Most gift lists for padel players split into “for him” and “for her”, then suggest the same things in a different colour. A man and a woman who both play twice a week want much the same: kit they actually use, and something that feels like theirs. Here are ten ideas, five from us and five you can buy at any padel shop or club, with a table to compare them. More occasions and order dates are on our page of padel gifts.

Are padel gifts for him different from padel gifts for her?

Not really. The difference is in the person. Four questions tell you more than any list for men or for women:

• How do they play? Someone who plays for fun, from beginner to intermediate level, is a good fit for a personalised racket. Someone who plays tournaments with a model they are attached to is better served by a cover, balls or lessons.
• What do they already own? Still hiring rackets at the club: a racket. A racket they love: a cover with their name.
• What is their style? Plain and dark, or bright and busy. A name in white on black suits one person, a full photo suits another.
• Who do they play with? A regular partner means you can give a gift for two.

1. A racket with their name or their own design

A racket with their name, nickname, club or a date on the face costs €99.99. Full Custom, with the side done as well, costs €119.99. You create it in the designer and see it in 3D before you order. The racket is round, weighs about 360 grams and has a 100% carbon face with an EVA foam core. It comes from Asia, and we personalise it in our workshop in the Netherlands with a full colour sticker under a UV protective layer. Ideas for the text are in padel racket with name.

2. A design made with AI

No design skills needed. Describe an idea in a few words (a favourite animal, a city, a nickname), pick a style, and the AI creates two designs with a matching rim. It is always Full Custom, at €119.99. Examples are on the page to design with AI.

3. Artwork from a photo

A photo of them, their dog or the whole family becomes artwork on the face: €119.99, or €139.99 with a printed side. Everyone in the photo has to agree. The holes in the face run through the image, just as in the 3D preview, and the Duo Deal does not apply.

4. A cover with their name

For someone who already has a racket they love. Our premium cover is black, has a shoulder strap and fits any standard padel racket. It costs €15 plain, or €35 with their name, initials or a logo as a sticker; a photo is not possible. You can order it on its own: design a cover with their name.

5. Two rackets for a couple

The Duo Deal gives you two Full Custom rackets with one design for €200 including VAT. Put both names on each racket, or give a different name per racket in the Comments field. Design the Duo Deal. More ideas for two in Christmas gifts for couples who play padel.

6. Balls and overgrips

Keen players get through both. A few tubes of balls or a set of 5 to 10 overgrips (around €15 to €30) is a small gift that gets used the same week. Any padel shop or club shop sells them; ask which balls their club plays with.

7. A padel bag

A bag with room for two rackets, shoes and a towel. Budget €80 to €200, depending on the brand, and check the size: some bags take only one racket.

8. Padel shoes

Padel shoes have a sole made for the sandy artificial grass of a court, which running shoes lack. Only a safe choice if you know their size, so keep the receipt. Expect roughly €60 to €150.

9. Lessons or a tournament entry

A block of lessons with a local coach (around €50 to €80 an hour) suits someone who wants to improve. For a more competitive player, pay the entry for a club tournament and play it together.

10. A padel trip

For the player who has everything: a weekend at a padel resort in Spain or Portugal. It is the biggest gift on this list, and it works best when you go together.

What does each gift cost, and where do you buy it?

Our prices include VAT and are the same all year. Shipping is added at checkout: €17.95 to the United Kingdom and €16.95 to Ireland. The United Kingdom is outside the EU, so the recipient may have to pay import VAT and duties.

When do you need to order for Christmas?

Production takes up to 7 working days, and the parcel is with you within 10 working days. For Christmas 2026, order by Wednesday 9 December, for a racket and for a cover. Parcels to the UK go through customs, so order a few days earlier if you can. This is advice, not a delivery guarantee.

We check every design before production and only get in touch if something is not right. A personalised racket is excluded from the right of withdrawal, so check the spelling of the name.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good padel gift for him?

If he plays for fun, a racket with his name or his own design, from €99.99 at Custom Your Padel. If he already has a racket he is attached to, a cover with his name (€35), balls, a bag or a block of lessons is the safer choice.

What is a good padel gift for her?

The same reasoning applies: start from how she plays and what she already owns, not from a list for women. A racket with her name from €99.99, a cover with her initials for €35, or artwork from a photo from €119.99.

Is the racket suitable for advanced players?

It is meant for social players from beginner to intermediate level. For someone with a firm preference for shape, weight or balance, a brand racket from Head, Nox, Bullpadel or Babolat suits better. Ours then works as a second racket or a keepsake.

Will someone in the UK have to pay anything on delivery?

Possibly. The United Kingdom is outside the EU, so the recipient may have to pay import VAT and duties. They are not included in our price or in the €17.95 shipping. Within the EU, Ireland included, nothing is added on arrival.

Do you sell gift vouchers?

No. If you are unsure about the design, keep it simple with a name and one colour, or give a cover with a name, which fits any standard racket.
