My wife plays a TON of tennis. Probably 5 days a week. I want to get her something she likes where the other tennis ladies will be like, “Oooo! That’s nice!”. I have until Christmas.
What do I get?
My budget is $200-$1000
Get a gift card to TW, or Tennis Express?
If she really likes tennis, I’m sure she’s been meaning to get a new racquet or two.
You could get it for your mid range of like $500-$800.
Like others I think you should get her tickets to the Indian Wells tournament in March (assuming you’re American). Make a 4 day trip of it or so, it’s known by fans and players alike for being a tennis paradise because of the facilities as well as the surrounding environment.
Choosing “things” like rackets, apparel, shoes etc is kind of risky because people can be very particular and like to pick that out themselves but a gift card to Tennis Warehouse or something would be too impersonal.
Also studies have shown that people usually say they look back and are happier with the money they spent on “experiences,” vs “things” so if you went with her I think it could be a memorable you both always look back on fondly.
A 4 day tennis trip/mini vacation would also make her tennis friends go “oo, that’s nice”.
