The Padel Gift Guide: Presents for Every Padel Player
Got a padel obsessive on your list? Good news: padel players are easy to buy for. Whether they've just discovered the sport or they're on court four nights a week, here are our favourite gifts at every budget.
Stocking fillers under £10
A pack of Grip 'n' Rip overgrips – £9.99
The one gift every padel player will use. Players change their overgrip regularly, so a fresh pack never goes to waste – and it fits any padel racket, so you don't need to know what they play with.
Keep it classic: All White or All Black
Match their style: Sky Blue, Teal, Pink or Orange
Can't decide? The Mix it up or Retro Mixed packs give them a bit of everything.
A tube of padel balls
Never a wasted gift. Balls lose their bounce over time, so a fresh tube always comes in handy.
Under £30
The overgrip bundle – 3 packs for £24.97
Pick any 3 packs of Grip 'n' Rip and get £5 off plus free UK delivery. That's 9 overgrips – months of fresh grips for a regular player. Split them across stockings, or mix colours so they can match every outfit.
For the beginner
Spark padel racket – £69.99
If someone on your list has just caught the padel bug and is still hiring rackets, Spark is the perfect first racket. Light at 360g, forgiving, with a soft core, a carbon frame and a case included. Add a pack of overgrips and you've got a complete starter set.
