When I was thinking about a gymnastics gift ideas for this year, I set out to create the ULTIMATE gymnast gift guide. I didn’t want to set a goal number of gifts for myself (like I did last year with 100 Gymnastics Gift Ideas), I was just  determined to scour the internet for the best gifts that any gymnastics-loving gymnast would want. I hope I have succeeded. You also might want to check out The Best Gifts for your Gymnast: 2015 Edition.

Our NEW Gift Guide is HERE for 2023! We’ve rounded up the best gifts this year that we know your gymnast will love!

Below you will find a ton of different ideas- gymnastics stocking stuffers, home gymnastics equipment, gymnastics books and videos, leotards, gymnastics cell phone cases, gymnastics accessories, gifts for the gymnast’s room, and gifts for the family. I hope you find gifts in this gift guide that will make your gymnast so happy on Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) morning!

gymnastics stocking stuffers gifts

Stocking Stuffers

eos Lip Balm Set– This EOS lip balm set is a perfect stocking stuffer for your gymnast to throw in her gym bag. Gyms can be very dry because of all the chalk in the air. This lip balm set will ensure your gymnast has perfectly moisturized lips!

eos Hand Lotion Pack– In addition to the lip balm, your gymnast will need some hand lotion to keep moisturized! And these are perfect on-the-go size to throw into your gym bag.

Gymnastics Water Bottle– This Keep Calm and do Gymnastics is a perfect addition to your gymnast’s gym bag, and would look great peeking out of the top of a stocking!

Ice Bag– Everyone who sees this owl ice bag thinks it’s so cute! And so do I. Ice your injuries in-style with this ice bag.

Goody Ouchless No Metal Hair Elastics– This pack of goody ouchless hair elastics comes in a rainbow of colors, and would be a perfect stocking stuffer for any level gymnast.

Nastia Liukin Grip Key Chain– I love this Nastia Liukin grip key chain. It would look so cute attached to your gymnast’s gym bag or her school backpack .

Colored Athletic Tape– If your gymnast is an advanced competitive gymnast, then there are going to be times where she needs to tape up parts of her body. And what is more fun than colored athletic tape?! Athletic tape makes a great stocking stuffer for your gymnast.

Hard Work Pays Off Xband Set– Xbands are stretchy bands that keep your grips in place. This set says “Hard Work” on one and “Pays Off” so your gymnast can show off how hard she works!

Chapstick Holder– This beautiful rainbow handmade chapstick holder is the perfect accessory for your gymnast’s bag. On one side it says “You Got This” and on the other side is a picture of a gymnast with a slot to put her chapstick in.

Gymnastics Nail Decals– These gymnastics nail decals will let your gymnast show her love for gymnastics on her nails! Perfect for her to play with when she has friends over.

Colored Pre-Wrap– The only thing more fun than colored athletic tape is colored pre-wrap! You need pre-wrap when you are wrapping parts of your body so the athletic tape doesn’t yank at body hair when it comes off!

Tiger Balm– Tiger Balm is a pain relieving sports rub ointment. It’s a great stocking stuffer for more advanced gymnasts to relieve the stress of practice.

home gymnastics equipment gifts

For the Home Gym

One of the best gymnastics gifts is the ability to practice gymnastics at home. And for that, you need a piece or two of home gymnastics equipment.

Tumbl Trak Panel Mat: A panel mat is one of the most basic pieces of home gymnastics equipment and a great gift for your gymnast. A standard panel mat is 1-3/8″ but you can also get the 2″ if you want more padding.

Tumbl Trak Suede Floor Beam: This suede floor beam will give your gymnast a similar feel to a competition beam at home! The base of the beam is coated in rubber for safety and it’s easy to assemble.

AAI Air Beam: Air beams and mats seem to be the most coveted gymnastics gifts these days! This 16″ wide by 9′ long inflatable has a 4″ raised center line that lets the gymnast feel the beam. It easily inflates and deflates so it can be stored away when not in use. Watch the video at the link to see how fun it looks!

Tumbl Trak Junior Bar Pro Package: The Tumbl Trak Junior Bar Pro is a very sturdy bar, but unlike other bars like it, does not need to be stabilized with additional plywood or supports. It can be set from 38″ (about 3 feet) to 59″ (about 5 feet) tall, with a weight limit of 125 lbs. This bar is safe for all levels and can be used to practice kips and casts. It takes up a 4 foot by 6 foot space on the floor. It needs mats under it due to the thick center support bar. I’m linking a package that comes with the 6″ mat it needs.

Air Floor Pro: This air floor doesn’t have to be used on a padded surface, unlike some other air floors. It only takes a few minutes to inflate for use, and then you can deflate it when you are done so that it can be easily stored away.
