gift

I'm pretty late to go Christmas shopping, but I still want to get something for my parents. What is something that you would give to your parents or would like to receive if you were a parent?

Just wondering if other coaches give Christmas gifts to their gymnasts and any good ideas that you've used in the past. We had our annual Lock-In this past weekend and each of us 4 team coaches were given very generous Visa gift-cards. Last year I ordered the girls different colored aluminum...

This was posted on the parents forum, but I thought I'd add it here in case there are coaches that don't visit that page ;) Looking for affordable gifts for our team kids. We usually spend about $5 per athlete. We've done drawstring backpacks, water bottles, picture frames of our team...

I'm a coach as well as a parent, and I was having a hard time finding affordable gifts for my athletes. It took lots of looking, but I finally found this on ETSY...

Can anyone give me the website of one of those holiday gymnastic equipment posters that are hung up in the gyms this time of year? I know there is at least one at DDs gym but I only get in there Friday nights for pickups and honestly by that time of the week all I want to do is get home and...

Hi all Slightly off topic.............................................. Has anyone got any great ideas for presents for coaches - both male and female? I find female coaches easier to buy for to say thank you! Flowers, chocolates, Champagne - scarves, jewellery etc - Male coaches not so easy...

My daughter is only in rec classes so far, but she LOVES her coaches (and so do we--they're fantastic). I would like to get them something for Christmas, but I'm not sure if that's a thing people do. This is our first year in gymnastics, so I have no idea what the norms are. Do you get your...

I am in charge of vending for our home meet. This year, for the first time, the meet will include boys as well as girls. Also for the first time, the location where we are having it will not allow food of any type on the floor (and therefore it can't be sold at our vending booth). In the...

Can anyone give me a suggestion for a gift to a gym/coach my daughter practiced over the Christmas season? The owners let my daughter practice with his team for as many days as she wanted at no charge! It was such a surprise! My daughter ended up practicing for 4 days between 2-5 hours each...

This turned out so much better than I expected that I have to show it off since I got the idea on here. This was my daughter's gift to one of her coaches. (Another one got a revamped Candy Land, but I forgot to take pictures)

Hi Moms! My daughter has her first meet ever in a week and half and I'm hearing that a lot about special gifts parents give for the first meet of the season. This is her first meet ever and she is very excited and nervous. I think a gift is a great idea but I don't know what to get! Any great...

I blatantly stole a board game gift idea for DD's coaches from here (Thanks whoever you were!). But now I'm stuck. I need help with warm-ups/simple skills for beam and floor. Currently we only have L3 and L4 girls. Here are a couple example of what I DO have for floor: - Handstand...

The parents volunteer to do gift bags for the meets. I assumed it was just for the kids who were attending. Some say they just do the ones attending, some say they do all. If you are just doing snack that they can eat while they are waiting for awards and maybe a small trinket then do just...

So, our competition season starts in about 6 weeks. Is it appropriate to get the coaches a "thank you" gift for working so hard with our girls? Maybe at the end of the season? I'm not sure what the protocol would be, or any clue what to get for them. Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks!

So, I'm technologically illiterate. We are in Region 6 and the girls were given a $5 gift card for music. (not sure if all regions did this...my daughter loves it and put it in her scrapbook....has a picture of the Fierce Five on the front!) Anyway, it's not iTunes but Amazon. We've never...

This is not a company I am afiliated with in any way, but they are a company I have been familiar with for a number of years since my husband and I met the owners at a Museum Store Association conference. I know there are similar products available elsewhere, but I love supporting this company...

We have a really great group of seniors this year who are nearing the end of their season. It's tradition for the juniors on the team to get them a gift, but I feel bad that the coaches don't do anything- especially since 2 of the 3 seniors have been the most incredible team leaders any coach...

I usually search online for different gymnastics gifts for my athletes and for my daughter, where do most of you look?

At our gym's team Christmas party, there is a gift exchange. The thing is, it could go to anyone from a 4 yr old, to a 17 yr old. Any ideas? The cap is $20 I think. I've looked through pages of gymnast stuff on Amazon, and nothing has caught my eye. Well, stuff has caught my eye, but nothing I...

OK, so now that we are into November I am starting to think about a gift for ds's coach for the holidays. Anything you've given that has gone over well? Coaches, what do you like to get and is there anything to stay away from?
