When I was in high school, part of our gym class curriculum was playing different types of sports.
Not just the regular team sports that you think about, like soccer and hockey. We also had to participate in sports like yoga and pickleball.
When that unit was over, I didn’t hear about pickleball for decades. And then suddenly, pickleball burst onto the scene like … a Cabbage Patch doll.
That’s a bad example, but I can’t think of anything else that just suddenly was in your face and everyone was all about it. That’s pickleball.
Fast forward to about half decade or so ago and the state’s PBS channel said it was going to highlight our town. I was very excited to see what they were going to talk about because our town is the fastest growing town in North Carolina.
It. Was. Pickleball. The House of Pickleball. A large indoor pickleball court.
Pete and I just looked at each other because now we live in the Pickleball Capital of North Carolina (I mean, it’s not called that, but it might as well be so let me just trademark that here).
If you have friends who have suddenly made pickleball their entire personality, this list of gift ideas will help you find something great for them.
This is just one of the shopping guides that we have on Drugstore Divas.

Vlasic Pickle Balls Corn Puffs
Playing pickleball is a lot of energy and people work up an appetite playing. What better snack is there for them than Vlasic pickle balls? None that I know of.
Okay, fine. There are probably better snacks. But these are so fun and such a good gift idea, especially if you’re shopping on a budget.
Pickleball Beaded Coin Purse
Your pickleball playing friend has so much gear to carry, the last thing she wants to carry is a large purse. But she needs to carry her license and a couple dollars for the vending machine.
The perfect way to do that is with this adorable beaded coin purse. It doesn’t take up much space, but fits exactly what she needs.
Pickleball Fuel Glass
You usually need to stay hydrated when you’re playing pickleball. Players make sure they’re drinking enough water. But, after the game is over, well, that’s a different story.
Regardless of what your friend puts in her post-pickleball cup, she needs this really cute Pickleball Fuel glass. It has a lid and a straw too, which is great.
Smash Slice Pickleball Tumbler
If you buy the glass above and your friend puts anything but water in it, everyone will know. But this Smash Slice Pickleball Tumbler will hide all her secrets.
It’ll also keep her drink cold. Whatever that drink is.
It’s Always Pickleball Season Sticker
I saw this sticker at Mast General Store in Boone when I was with my cousin and almost picked it up for my mom because she collects stickers. Except I realized that she doesn’t actually have time to play pickleball in her community anymore, so I left it.
But if you like it but are too far from Boone to buy it, no worries. You can buy it from Mast General Store via the link below.
Pickleball Makes Life Better Frame
The best part of sports are the friends you make when you’re playing. That goes for every sport, including pickleball.
So, of course, this Pickleball Makes Life Better picture frame is such a good gift. Don’t forget to print out a photo (with one of our free photo deals) to go with it.
Pickleball Retriever
Pickleball is an older person sport. So bending over to pick up a ball all the time is, well, maybe not the best movement.
So this Pickleball Retriever is perfect. It’s a way to pick up the balls without bending over, which is perfect for older players.
Pickleball Paddles
Pickleball players have their paddles. They like what they like and what feels comfortable in their hands.
But, they also like trying to convert other people to be pickleball players. And they don’t want to share their paddles. So, buying them a few cool looking extra paddles that they can use when friends visit is a great gift idea.
Pickleball Junior Paddle
A lot of pickleball players are grandparents. And they want to play with their grandkids.
So buying a Pickleball Junior Paddle that’s perfect for a little kid to learn on is such a good gift for an older pickleball player.
Pickleball Blast
Not every day can be a pickleball day. Sometimes it rains.
So when your pickleball player is at home and stuck indoors, they can still play if you get them this Pickleball Blast board game. It’s really cute and fun for kids of all ages.
Outdoor Pickleballs
When I played tennis, I always needed extra tennis balls. Some would get lost and some would get flat.
So a good gift idea for your pickleball friend would be some extra balls that they can have in case theirs go missing or get crushed.
Pickleball Mug And Sock Set
We have so many mugs in our house. They’re just such a fun way to show your personality.
So, your friend will love this Pickleball Mug And Sock Set. It comes with a cute mug that says, “This girl loves pickleball” and then socks with hearts and pickleballs on them. It’s great.
