My oldest son has been playing competitive baseball for the last 2 years, which means almost every moment of the day, his mind is on baseball. It’s no surprise that the majority of his Christmas list has the hottest baseball gear, apparel, and accessories on it.
Moms and dads, I know it can be hard to keep up with the hottest trends in and products when it comes to baseball. That’s why I have picked my son’s brain to create the perfect list for your little slugger. This gift guide is packed with fun, creative, and practical ideas that will help your kiddo play better, learn more, and feel like a true MVP.
1. Personalized Baseball Glove
A high-quality glove that fits their hand—and features their name or initials—instantly becomes a treasured keepsake. My son likes Wilson gloves because he can completely custom build his glove to not only make the perfect fit, but to include his team colors, and personalization.
Why kids love it: It makes them feel like a real pro, and the personalization adds that “extra special” touch.
Bonus: Pair it with glove oil and a mallet for glove-breaking fun.
2. Pitching & Hitting Training Net
A collapsible net is perfect for at-home practice. They can work on pitching accuracy, fielding, or batting—no need to chase balls around.
Why parents love it: Backyard practice = no broken windows.
3. MLB Team Jersey or Custom Jersey
Whether it’s their favorite MLB team or a personalized jersey with their own name and number, this is a guaranteed hit.
Pro tip: Get a size up so they can grow into it (and wear it all season long).
4. Baseball Lifestyle 101 Apparel
If you have a baseball kid, you have no doubt heard of Baseball Lifestyle apparel. With their drippy ice cream and cotton candy prints, and vibrant hues, this line truly brings color and fun to the world of baseball! Nothing screams, I’m part of that baseball life lIke being decked out in Baseball Lifestyle apparel.
5. Baseball Swing Trainer / Batting Tee
Let them build their swing mechanics with a sturdy tee or a swing trainer designed to improve timing and hand-eye coordination.
Perfect for: Kids at any level—especially beginners.
6. A Bucket of Practice Baseballs
Because every baseball kid needs more balls. More. Always more.
Make it cute: Go for soft-touch practice balls for younger kids or high-quality leather for advanced players.
7. Glow-in-the-Dark Baseball Gear
Glow baseballs, bats, or bases make nighttime baseball incredibly fun.
The vibe: Backyard after-dark games that feel like a mini–Field of Dreams.
8. Baseball Card Binder + Starter Pack
Introduce them to the classic hobby of collecting baseball cards. Pair a binder with a few packs or a curated starter set.
Fun add-on: Include a checklist to track their favorite players.
9. Personalized Baseball Room Decor
Think framed blueprint posters of bats/gloves/stadiums, LED baseball lights, or a custom vinyl baseball player name sign. My son has a navy blue wall with a white vinyl decal like the one below on his wall and he loves it! Instant cool factor.
10. Baseball Cleats (In Their Team Colors!)
A fresh pair of cleats makes any kid feel fast, especially when they are custom cleats made to match your kiddo’s team colors!
Hot picks: Nike, New Balance, Under Armour youth cleats.
11. Youth Bat Pack / Gear Bag
A lightweight baseball backpack with bat holders, helmet storage, and ventilated shoe compartments.
Upgrade idea: Add their team number as a custom patch.
