Christmas Gifts for Baseball Players – Teens and Tweens

Teen and tween boys are notoriously difficult to shop for…until now. Choosing Christmas gifts for your teen baseball player is easy with the There’s No Place Like Home Plate 2022 Baseball Christmas Gift Guide.

Baseball players hate the off season, so keep them motivated with holiday gifts that inspire them to get up, move, and stay active all winter long.

Teen and tween boy baseball fashion could be described as a ‘throwback’ to the worst of 80’s and 90’s trends – think mullets, perms, thick gold chains, tall white socks, and short shorts. Give them trendy gifts that will still look good when Spring rolls around.

Major League Ballparks Scratch Off Poster – Great for room decor, this fun scratch off poster will look great in their bedroom (and maybe later, their man cave) as they keep track of the MLB stadiums they visit.

Oculus Meta Quest 2 – While the Meta Quest 2 is definitely pricey, it’s a great gift that not only your teen, but the entire family will love. Our family has gotten a lot of use out of the last year, with active games like The Climb (virtual rock climbing) and Supernatural (an exercise app) keeping us involved and entertained when the weather outside is awful. My boys also both use WinReality (www.winreality.com) to improve their hitting in the offseason.

This 5MM chain is an afforable way for your baseball player to emulate their favorite MLB player and take part in the trend.

While these shorts will have limited use, they are a fun seasonal clothing item for a teen baseball player.

I’ll Be Home for Christmas – Ugly Baseball Christmas Sweater / Sweatshirt – No one will be surprised at all when your teen baseball player wears this baseball ‘ugly christmas sweater’ to your family’s holiday party. A fun way to get them in the spirit for family gatherings.

Available for 40 different colleges and universities.

Kids Classic Tie Dye Crocs – Crocs were ‘hot’ among baseball players this past summer and fall, and the trend doesn’t seem to be slowing down. They’ll love them because Crocs are comfortable (and easy to throw on after games). You’ll love them because of how easy it is to clean them.

Beats Solo3 Headphones – Headphones are making a comeback (thank goodness, because how many times have you had to look for a lost Air Pod in the car?) and these Beats are high quality, the perfect size for a tween, and are on sale for a limited time.
