Basket gift ideas under €50

The Vestiaire Secret Santa, how it works

A good team gift can be selected without knowing anyone's size. Aim for something that is useful for everyone: a ball, a pair of sports socks, a cap, a beanie for Saturday travel. Set the budget with the group before the draw, so everyone is on the same page. And if you draw the team's key player, skip the clothing: their size is rarely yours.

The ball, a sure thing for a small budget

A ball lasts for years and never ends up in the cupboard. On the Christmas balls page, you can find training balls made from composite material for indoor use, rubber balls for the playground, and models featuring NBA team logos. Here are two points to consider before choosing:

• Size: 7 for boys from U15 and men, 6 for girls, women, and U13, 5 for the younger ones.
• Court: an indoor ball wears out quickly on asphalt, and an outdoor ball doesn't grip as well on hardwood.

For a coach, a quality pump or a mini desk hoop also makes a nice gift.

NBA Fan: Represent your team every day

A t-shirt, a tank top, or a cap in your team's colours, and the fan is sorted. The Christmas NBA page features clothes and accessories from franchises, from the Lakers to the Bulls and the Celtics. T-shirts featuring legends like Magic Johnson appeal to both nostalgic fans and teens discovering the game through highlights. If you're torn between two teams, choose the one from their city or their favourite player. Never the rival.

Socks, shorts, bags: what wears out during training

What wears out the quickest in basketball isn't the ball: it's the socks and shorts. The Christmas textile page offers shorts, training jerseys, t-shirts, and sweats to refresh a player’s sports bag. For accessories, the Christmas equipment page gathers backpacks, beanies, caps, and protective gear. A sturdy backpack is a gift that gets used every session.

Mini-basketball players are not forgotten

For a child just starting out, a small budget goes a long way. A size 5 ball, a club or franchise jersey in junior size, a floor hoop to shoot in the living room from their first steps: the selection includes items designed for little ones. There are also some kids' basketball shoes, as long as you know their size. For textiles, one size up allows for growth. For shoes, stick to the true size: a loose shoe means a risk for the ankle.

Spalding, Wilson, Molten: brands to look out for

Five brands often appear in this basketball selection.

• Spalding has its TF series in composite. The React TF-250, designed for both indoor and outdoor use, is ideal for players training everywhere.
• Wilson provides the official ball for FIBA 3x3 competitions. Its fan version is a hit with those who play three-on-three on the playground.
• Molten offers composite training balls, like the BG3000, sturdy enough to endure shooting sessions.
• Mitchell & Ness brings back retro-style tank tops and t-shirts from franchises, perfect for a fan.
• New Era makes team logo caps that fans wear both in the stands and in town.

Frequently asked questions

What gift under 50 € for a basketball coach?

Think about what is useful for each session: a tactical board, a ball bag, a set of bibs, or an extra training ball. These items are included in the selection, with the Sport filter set to Basketball. For a game ball with their club name, check the Christmas balls page.

A gift under 50 € for an NBA fan who already has the jersey?

Change the item rather than the team. A ball in the colours of their franchise, a mini-ball, a cap, or a beanie can complete the set without duplication. Everything is organised by team on the Christmas NBA page.

What can you find for less than 50 € for a female player?

Shorts, tank tops, leggings, and sweats are available in women's cuts in the selection, as well as jerseys from certain franchises. A size 6 ball, like those used in women’s competitions, is also a safe choice. Women's cut textiles can be filtered on the Christmas textile page.

Can you give basketball shoes for less than 50 €?

Yes, but the choice is limited: mostly children’s models and a few entry-level indoor shoes. For adults playing in a club, the choice widens significantly on the Christmas shoes page.

How can I see only basketball items on this page?

The page covers the entire site in this budget, including running, lifestyle, and other indoor sports. Open the filters, select Sport then Basketball, and refine by product type or size. For a selection already sorted by category, go back to the Christmas page.
