If your family is like ours, we’re on the go, go go all the time! Things that make the sports family life easier? YES please! Between gymnastics and soccer and basketball, we’re busy and we’ve found some things that are great for families like ours.
But these gifts are also great for people who just love sports- tailgating, etc. counts too!

Holiday Gifts for the Sports Family
Warm & Waterproof
2 words: waterproof blanket. Your child’s rainy sporting event just got a lot more tolerable. Mambe Hooded Blanket is a wearable blanket with form fitting shoulders/hood and comfortably located interior pockets that allow you to wrap yourself from head to toe. The outer nylon shell is 100% waterproof to block the wind/rain/sleet/snow and the interior is made with soft, warm Polartec300 fleece and a heat-reflective lining so you’ll stay warm and dry in even the worst weather. A word of warning, you’ll have to share it with the rest of the family!
Shelter
Under the Weather personal pop-up pods are lightweight and easy to carry. The pods pop-up and fold down in seconds and comes in a circular bag which you can keep in your car or grab on the go for easy transport. Water and wind-proof, each pod is treated with a coating that helps prevents the harmful rays of the sun getting you, and each pod has transparent sides on all 3 sides so you can see everything. They also have connecting versions with the MyPod, so you can watch the game connected with friends and family.
Sports Photo Frames
I bet you take a whole lot of pictures of your athletes. I know we do. Keep an updated frame with an individual and team photo (or two individuals) every year with a nice sports photo frame!
Sports Trivia Game
Test your knowledge on sporting facts and photos! Sports Trivia Challenge encourages social interaction, logical thinking, visual recognition and memory skills.
Team Gear

Even if you don’t PLAY sports but you LOVE sports, fans are usually pretty excited to get some fun new fan gear, like ma ybe a new t shirt for everyone with the fave team logo on it! Fanatics is one of our go-to sites for sports fan gear, and it’s name brands that we know and trust already.
We also ordered my husband a shirt from the gym where our oldest competes gymnastics from. I already have a shirt and quarter zip shirt from there, but he’s happy to wear the team logo with pride, too!
Family Game Night!
SO many fun games have sports or team themed versions- that’s a GREAT gift for any sports lovers! We clearly love the Red Sox and are happy to add Red Sox games to our game closet, but you can find these for most teams out there.
