Tennis gifts: 10 ideas for every budget
Most tennis players already have a racket they love. The gifts that get used are the ones that make every session better. Here are ten, from small extras to the main present.
Our pick: the gift for the player who has everything
The present they didn't know they needed. Pressurebox Pro Tennis stores four balls under pressure between sessions and restores their bounce, automatically. That means fewer new balls to buy and fewer in the bin.

Small gifts
1. Overgrips
Every player uses them and nobody has enough. You can't go wrong with a multipack.
2. Vibration dampeners
Small, inexpensive, and easy to lose. A few spares are always welcome.
3. Fresh balls
A few cans of their favorite ball. Even better together with number 8.
4. Wristbands or a cap
For sunny courts and long rallies.
Gifts they will use every week
5. A restring
Fresh strings change a racket more than most players expect. Ask their local stringer for a gift card.
6. Court time or a lesson
An hour on court or a session with a coach. Ask their club for a gift card.
7. A tennis backpack
With a racket compartment and room for shoes.
8. Pressurebox Pro Tennis
An automatic ball pressurizer. It stores their balls under pressure between sessions and restores their bounce. The one on this list they are least likely to own already.
The main present
9. Tickets to a tournament
A day at a professional tournament near them.
10. A new racket or shoes
The dream gift, but a personal choice. If you are not sure which, a gift card from their favorite shop is safer.
Tennis gifts for him and for her
All ten ideas work for any player. Only shoes and clothing come in men's and women's sizes, so check the size before you buy. The safest gifts for him and for her are the ones without a size: balls, overgrips, a restring, court time and a ball pressurizer.
Why a Pressurebox works as a gift
- It gets used every week, not once.
- It is fully automatic: balls in, lid on, switch on.
- Press the deflate button and it gives the psshh of a brand-new can of balls.
- Pressurebox Pro Tennis holds four balls and works with both padel and tennis balls.
- It comes with a 1-year warranty.
Balls in. Lid on. Switch on.
A sensor and a small compressor in the lid hold the pressure until the next session. Press the deflate button, hear the psshh, and the balls are ready.
A gift that means fewer balls in the bin
Tennis balls often lose their bounce long before the felt wears out. Once the can is opened, gas slowly leaks out through the rubber, on court and in the bag, whether they play or not. So players throw away balls that still look new.
A Pressurebox keeps the balls under pressure between sessions, so they can be played until the felt is worn. That means fewer new balls to buy and fewer in the bin. Engineering research at the University of Bath found that storing balls in a pressurized container can slow down pressure loss and even reverse it.
Let customers speak for us
Good to know before you give one
Something they will use every week and are unlikely to own already. An automatic ball pressurizer is a typical example: it keeps their balls under pressure between sessions and restores their bounce. Court time or a lesson works for the same reason.
Yes. It works for any player who uses standard pressurized balls, at any level.
Pro Padel holds 3 balls and Pro Tennis holds 4. Both work with padel and tennis balls, so choose by how many balls they usually play with.
The pressurizer, a USB-C charging cable and 2 spare O-rings.
With the included USB-C cable. A full charge takes about 4.5 hours.
Yes, as long as they still have some pressure. It brings back the pressure, not the felt, so balls with worn felt will not play like new.
Every Pressurebox comes with a 1-year warranty. Your statutory rights are not affected.
