Pickleball gifts, 2026

Sorted by what you want to spend.

Buy a pickleball player something they wear every week. A skort, a polo or a hat gets used twice a week all season.

Skip the paddle. Players are particular about grip, weight and brand, and a wrong guess sits in a closet. Clothing is safer, gets worn more, and every piece below ships free once the order passes $75. Prices are in the cards. Women and men are separated so you can go straight to the person you are shopping for.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gift for a pickleball player?

Court clothing they will wear every week: a skort or short, a polo, and a hat. Paddles are personal and players already have strong opinions, so apparel is the safer buy.

What should I get a woman who plays pickleball?

A skort with built in shorts, a polo with stretch, or a sports bra for play. The Olivia Skirt in Tangerine and the Chloe Polo in Sky Blue are the two most useful pieces on a court.

What should I get a man who plays pickleball?

A performance polo and a 5 inch short. The Tom Polo and the Drew Short 5 inch are the easy yes, and a hat finishes the set.

How do I pick the right size for a gift?

Go by the size of a piece they already wear and love, then choose a medium if you are unsure. PILLAR fits are tailored, so read the fit notes on each product page.
