Gear and keepsakes for the one who lives at the field, from travel ball to varsity.
1.Custom Baseball Player Water Bottle
A 32 oz insulated stainless steel bottle with their name engraved down the center of a baseball design and their number, position or team underneath. It comes in 12 colors, so it can match their uniform, with a leak-proof flip-top straw lid.
It reads as theirs from across the dugout, and at practice in March it is a small reminder of who was thinking about them at Christmas.
Personalize it: Their name, up to 15 characters, like SMITH, and a bottom line up to 25, like #43, Pitcher or Tigers.
A top seller last holiday season
2.Game Changer Baseball Sunglasses
Velo Game Changers with a flexible TR90 frame, impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses and 100% UV400 protection, in 30 colorways so you can match their team or their glove. Most colorways come with an extra mystery lens.
Players wear them to the field and away from it. The adult pair fits best from about 5 foot 8, so check the size note on the product page for a younger player.
3.Diamond Classic Monogrammed Weekender Duffle
A brown vegan leather weekender with a plaid lining, inside pockets, a matching luggage tag and their initials beside crossed bats on the front. At 22 by 12 by 10 inches it fits as a carry-on.
It is the bag for the player who has outgrown the team bag: the out-of-town tournament, the spring trip and the college visit.
Personalize it: Two initials, like TB, beside the crossed bats.
4.Drip Dynasty Steel Number Pendant Necklace
A polished stainless steel pendant of their jersey number on a chain, in five lengths from 18 to 26 inches. It resists rust and tarnish, so it holds up through a season of practices and games.
Players wear their number all spring. This way they can keep it on long after the last out.
Personalize it: Enter their jersey number on the product page, then pick a chain length.
5.White Ice Cream Sliding Mitt
The ice cream cone sliding mitt from travel ball dugouts, in the clean vanilla version: a waffle-textured palm under a dripping white top, in neoprene with a hard-shell insert that protects the hand on head-first slides. It fits either hand.
It is a fun pick for the player who steals every chance they get. It comes in youth and adult sizes, with a size chart on the product page.
6.90 MPH Club Tee Shirt
A soft performance crew neck tee with a bold 90 MPH Club graphic on the chest, in a breathable blend built for the dugout and beyond.
A fun, easy pick for the player who wants to look the part off the field too.
7.Personalized Baseball Player Duffle Bag
His name and number, stitched under a pair of crossed bats on a heavy canvas and leather duffle he will carry to every practice and tournament weekend. Pick from four bag colors and 16 thread colors to match his team, and order one for every player when it is a team gift.
Personalize it: His name and number on one line, up to 12 characters, like CARTER 12.
Keepsakes for Their Room
Gifts that go on the wall or the shelf and stay there long after the season.
8.Personalized Full Size Baseball Bat
A full-size wood bat in natural, blue or black, with a main line engraved large down the barrel and an optional second line beneath it. It is one of the gifts families order from us most, all year long.
It is the gift that ends up on the bedroom wall or above the desk, with their name big enough to read from the doorway.
Personalize it: Main line up to 20 characters, like LOGAN. Second line up to 20, like ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.
9.Home Field Scoreboard Name Sign
A 12 x 18 inch black sign that turns his room into his own ballpark: WELCOME TO, his name in big scoreboard-bulb letters, then BALLPARK over a line score where the home team wins.
Only his name is on it, so it still fits next spring when his team and jersey number change.
Personalize it: His name up to 12 characters, like JACKSON. Brothers can share one: JACK & MAX.
10.Signature Series Custom Baseball
A baseball laser engraved with their name and number, framed by crossed bats or set inside home plate, your choice of two designs. The engraving will not peel or fade.
It is the small gift that sits on a shelf for decades, and it fits in a stocking.
Personalize it: Name up to 20 characters and an optional number up to 3 digits, like MASON and 25.
Bring the Heat Name Sign
A 12 x 18 inch black sign for the kid who throws hard. A flaming fastball streaks across the top, with his name underneath in heavy italic letters outlined in fire.
It is made for the pitcher in the family, the one who wants his room to look as loud as his fastball.
Personalize it: His name up to 12 characters, plus an optional bottom line like ACE PITCHER or #22 FLAMETHROWER. Leave it blank for his name only.
Gifts for Baseball Parents and Lifelong Fans
For the dad who coached from the fence, the mom in the bleachers and the grandpa who still keeps score.
Our #1 seller last holiday season
11.Choose Your MLB Team Logo Mug
A real bat barrel, hollowed out, double sealed and etched with the logo of any of the 30 Major League clubs. It is 10 inches tall, holds 12 ounces of beer or coffee, and sits on the shelf between uses.
It is for the dad or grandpa whose team has not changed since he was ten. Hand wash only.
12.Baseball Heart Necklace
A small heart-shaped baseball pendant with stitch detail, in silver or gold stainless steel, or sterling silver. The chain is included.
It is the quiet one on this list, for the baseball mom, grandma or girlfriend who has spent more Saturdays in the bleachers than anyone.
13.Baseball Dad Personalized Beer Stein
A heavy 25 oz glass stein frosted with crossed bats, a baseball and his name, plus a top and bottom line you write yourself, like BASEBALL DAD and ALWAYS SAFE AT HOME.
It works as well for a grandpa or a brother-in-law as it does for dad. GRANDPA'S DUGOUT and HOME TEAM both fit the top line.
Personalize it: Top line up to 16 characters and name up to 10, like BASEBALL DAD and MURPHY.
14.Custom Jersey Cutting Board
A western maple cutting board cut in the shape of a jersey, engraved with a name across the shoulders and a big number below, with room for a note on the back.
For the baseball family that tailgates, or the parent whose kitchen counter doubles as the team snack table.
Personalize it: Name up to 12 characters, a number up to 2 digits, plus an optional note for the back.
15.Probably at the Ball Field Baseball Doormat
A natural coir doormat that tells the neighbors what they already know: Probably at the Ball Field. The design is printed with permanent UV-cured ink, in two sizes.

Stocking Stuffers and Ornaments for the Tree
Small gifts under $25 that still carry their name or their team.

Personalize it: Main line up to 20 characters, like LOGAN. Second line up to 20, like 2026 ALL STARS.
A top seller last holiday season

When to Order Baseball Christmas Gifts
Personalized gifts are made to order, so they need a few more days than something off a shelf. These are the dates we recommend for delivery by Christmas Eve.
- Standard shipping: order by Friday, December 11. Most orders arrive 3 to 7 business days after you order. Engraved and embroidered pieces usually ship within 1 to 4 business days and tend to land toward the later end of that range. Standard shipping is free on orders over $75.
- Expedited shipping: order by Tuesday, December 15. Expedited orders usually arrive 3 to 5 business days after you order, for $29.99.
- Gifts without personalization, like the sunglasses, the sliding mitt, the tee and the heart necklace, usually ship within 1 to 2 business days.
- The ball field doormat is printed to order and takes 5 to 7 business days before it ships, so order it by Friday, December 4.
Carriers run slower in the last two weeks before Christmas, so the earlier you order, the more breathing room you have. Business days do not include weekends or holidays, and orders with items from more than one of our workshops may arrive in separate packages.
What to Write on a Baseball Christmas Gift
A short line in the card, or engraved on the gift itself, is what they remember in ten years. A few that work:
For the player
"Proud of every early practice. Merry Christmas, [Name]."
"Can't wait to watch you play this spring."
For a baseball dad, mom or grandparent
"Thanks for every catch in the yard and every ride to the field."
Short lines to engrave
- [Name] #[Number]
- Rookie of the Year 2026
- Off Season, See You in Spring
- [Team] 2026 Season

Start with their name and number. The Custom Baseball Player Water Bottle ($39.99) and the Drip Dynasty Steel Number Pendant Necklace ($44.99) go to the field with them, and the Bring the Heat Name Sign ($59.99) is made for the pitcher in the family. For gifts sorted by age, see our baseball gifts for boys guide.

How to Pick the Right Baseball Christmas Gift
- Start with how they live the game. A player wants their own gear and their number. A parent or fan wants something for the home or the bar.
- Put a name or a number on it. A $20 baseball with their name on it is kept longer than a pricier gift that could belong to anyone.
- Match their team. The MLB mug and bat slice ornament come in all 30 clubs, and the bottle and mini bat come in colors to match a uniform.
- Mind the calendar. Personalized gifts need lead time in December, so check the dates above before you settle on one.
