Graduation is an important time in a person's life, a time often celebrated with close friends and family members. Often, a graduate will receive gifts as a reward for the hard work she put in. For a tennis fan, presents related to the sport are a nice touch. They not only show thoughtfulness, but in some cases, the graduate can use them in a practical sense. - For something simple, a gift giver can opt for a package containing tennis-related items and apparel. Gifts for the home include tennis ball pens, wall clocks, teddy bears, lanyards, tennis-themed playing cards, light switch covers and ornaments. Shoppers may decide instead to opt for an article of clothing. Sites offer a wide array of T-shirts in different colors and sizes, as well as shorts, hats, socks and winter apparel.
- The gift of tennis equipment will be put to good use by any graduate who plays the sport on a regular basis. Sports equipment stores and Web sites give shoppers plenty of choice when it comes to tennis rackets, shoes and balls. For hardcore players, a shopper may want to consult the graduate first to see what kind of equipment he prefers. Players can be particular when it comes to the type of racket heads and grips they favor. The other options are to either take the graduate on a shopping spree and let him pick his own racket or purchase a gift card he can use to shop for equipment on his own.
- For the tennis graduate who already has plenty of equipment and apparel, a chance to attend a professional tennis tournament may be the ideal gift. The men's and women's major professional tours play events around the world, each one lasting between seven and 14 days. Tickets are often available either at the tennis center box office or online through the various tournament Web sites. For an extra special gift, a shopper may decide to purchase tickets to the U.S. Open, the only one of the Grand Slam events held on American soil. The tournament held annually at Flushing Meadows in New York City and features the best men's and women's players in the world.
