Searching to find the perfect gift for an athlete can be difficult. You can’t buy a hockey player a 4-pack of plain hockey pucks and expect them to be ecstatic! If you want to hit the nail on the head, try gifting something which is tailored specifically for that individual.

Personalization adds a thoughtful touch to any gift. For instance, would you give someone special a greeting card with a kind message and no signature? It just wouldn’t have the same effect as a card with your personal signature on it would have. At ChalkTalkSPORTS, we mastered the idea of customization and personalization. We want to help give athlete’s the recognition they deserve. No athlete’s accomplishments should go unnoticed! Here is a breakdown of our top 5 gifts for an athlete’s birthday!

5) Custom Decals

 Everyone loves stickers. With our stickers, you can have a name or short phrase printed on them! Young people like stickers (or decals) so much, a trend called “sticker-bombing” has emerged. Sticker-bombing is when someone completely covers a surface with stickers until the surface isn’t even showing anymore! It’s a popular method for laptops, tablets, and even cars! Pick a decal out and add it to your athlete’s sticker-bombing extravaganza!

That’s only one use for our high quality decals. They’re weatherproof so you can rest assured if you slap one on outdoor items. Pick out a decal right for your athlete and they’re sure to put it to good use!

4) Personalized Phone Cases

These days, it’s all about texting. If someone’s texting, they’re usually using a smartphone. At ChalkTalkSPORTS, we carry phone cases for the latest smartphones. We have phone cases for any sport, and many exclusive designs. Our phone cases have clear sides, and a back where a name or short phrase can be printed on. Not only do our phone cases help protect the phone, but they make them look fantastic too! Surprise your athlete with a personalized phone case and have them jumping for joy!

3) Personalized Sports Balls

A custom or personalized ball for your athlete’s sport is something they’ll never forget. As I mentioned before, giving a plain pack of balls or pucks to an athlete might not make for the best birthday present. That’s why we offer league-grade sports balls for almost any sport. We offer personalized softballs, baseballs,  lacrosse balls, hockey pucks, golf balls, tennis balls, ping pong balls, and even stress balls! You can add a name, team number, and year to our sport-specific balls, or you can add a photo of your choice. They’re simple gifts that don’t go unnoticed!

2) Personalized Dog Tags

Add a little flavor to your athlete’s wardrobe with personalized sports dog tags. We carry terrific dog tags for any sport. You can even choose a silencer (or bumper) with your choice of color! Specify a name, team number, or a short phrase and we’ll create a gift your athlete won’t leave home without. They can wear just one, or mix and match! Pick out a dog tag perfect for your athlete!

1) Sports Gift Cards

At the number one spot comes the all-important greeting card. A sport themed birthday wouldn’t be complete without a sport themed birthday card! Our greeting cards are printed in high-resolution and are thick and colorful. We have a greeting card for any sport! If it’s a coach’s birthday, we carry greeting cards specifically for the coach! Complete the birthday gift line-up for the athlete close to you and become the ultimate sports gift giver!
