Wrestling gift ideas for kids?

[dez1978]

My kid is going to state for youth wrestling. So the club gets them shorts, hoodie and a hat and some other stuff depinding on if it is your 1st time going or not. But also the parents of the kids going get small gifts for the kids. So there are 5 kids, 2 8 year olds, a 9 yr old, 12 yr old and a 14 yr old going. I have no idea what to get them. Last year I made water bottles, but I don't have time to order them and make them before next friday. One mom is getting socks, one is doing a snack/candy bag. I'm having a brain block lol. I don't want to do more snacks, tho that would be easiest. Help me out with ideas please!!! Also its 2 girls and 3 boys if that helps.

What about a pin or patch with a wrestling theme?

The kids around here hang things off their backpacks - key chains, little characters, etc. If they all have pretty common names, you could get those, or if not, maybe some sort of wrestling symbol or their team mascot??

These are cool, but potentially more than you want to spend -

They come in several colors.

Get them?
Forgive me, my kids have been out of school for a bit, but they were somewhat successful HS athletes and we never got them anything???
My brothers both wrestled for their HS's in state finals, but they never got anything. Well, except for a something to eat after they made weight haha!
I'm jut sure what you mean in terms of getting them something...am I missing something?

Frogg Toggs are outstanding to help athletes cool off quickly and they came down in price a lot, can also get knock off ones now.

This was my original thought, too. We had kids playing all levels of soccer for 20 years. That would have been a heck of a lot of work. And expensive for 15+ kids on a team.

Our gifts were getting them to practices, buying, washing and soaking stains out of uniforms, paying registration fees, making time and arrangements to travel, paying for hotels and travel, feeding kids on the road and giving time to it all.

We were glad to do it and enjoyed watching them.

They got trophies and medals after tournaments.

Never occurred to us to get the teams gifts.

Go to a party store & buy the letters in their last name in the color of their uniforms & attach them together. They can hang them on their hotel door. Print or buy something that represents their team & laminate it to put under the names. The parents just need to make sure they leave the door the way they found it, which I'm sure most people would.

Oh, is that the cooling towels? - that's a great idea!

This is a great idea. They are available at Wal-Mart for $1.97 for the neck band and $5.47 for a larger size. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Frogg-To...e-26-X-17/52676317?fulfillmentIntent=In-store As a former wrestler I would have loved having one of these.
