Baseball Coach Gift Ideas That Show You Put In A Lot Of Thought

It’s absolutely no secret that here at Dugout Mugs we’re fanatical about everything to do with baseball. Our entire team loves the game, and as a result, we’ve received our fair share of baseball-related gifts over the years.

Some of these have been wonderful surprises with immense value attached to them. But more often than not they have been things where you put on a brave smile and say thank you for the thought. Or maybe even the total lack of thought, as when your sister buys you something from the wrong team.  
With this experience and knowledge, we’re in a great position to help you really find something special for a baseball coach in your family. Or maybe you want to acknowledge your kid’s Little League coach for all the hard work and patience.

Whatever the reason, you will learn on this page what it takes to make such a gift meaningful and prove that you actually put some thought and effort into it.

First of all, let’s start with the all-important question...

What Makes A Baseball Gift Meaningful?

The answer is not to do a Google search for “best baseball coach gifts” and then pick the first thing from the endless garbage that is out there. Yes, a baseball cap with a fun message or team logo will not go unused.

But within a few days, that you were the one who made the gift will be completely erased from memory.

At the same time, being meaningful should not mean that you just go out and spend a fortune on a rare baseball card or a signed bat. Dependent on what era and player you’re looking for, you could be spending thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars.

Fabulous gifts for sure, but you can add meaning with a much smaller budget, too.

For a gift to be meaningful to someone you have to prove that you spent some time thinking about it. And you have to show that you did research into what the person actually likes.

At the very least, you should know who their favorite team and player is, as that will be an important starting point. Giving someone a gift for the wrong team could be seen as an insult to a passionate fan. Sure, what’s the difference between the Red Sox and White Sox? It’s just a different color, right?

Once you’ve done some research it’s very important not to fall for the obvious...

Avoid The Dust Catchers 

If you were to ever look at the desks of baseball fans, you’ll find some of the most perfect examples of dust catchers. My own desk includes stuff like paperweights where you can barely make out that it’s a team logo.

Or a snow globe that looks more like Santa’s home than a baseball stadium.

Other things we have found around the office are really poor quality headphones and God knows how many baseballs with team logos. Sometimes even for the right teams.

If you want to play it on the safe side, then buy something that can be worn. A cap or t-shirt, or maybe even some nice gloves that will get some use in the winter months. Safe options, but as mentioned above, not entirely meaningful.

Is It Just About The Team?

For some fans it is. We know many people who will collect every possible gadget and clothing item that has their favorite team and player on it.

And while they may appreciate a new item for their collection, within a few days they will have forgotten who gave it to them. Doesn’t make it a bad gift, but would you not rather stand out of the crowd?

There is no shortage of MLB merchandise, so to stand out from the crowd you need to find something that is unique and will ideally be used on a very regular basis.

People also immediately think about MLB teams when they look for something special to give to a coach. But there are also ways to personalize things with a name, or even with their own Little League team name and logo from when they were kids.

Why Our Baseball Mugs Are The Ideal Gift

Next time you’re with some real baseball fans, have a look to see if they own a wooden mug that looks a lot like a very small bat. Then ask yourself, how often do they enjoy a beer, a glass of wine or even a few shots with friends while watching a game?

Chances are this happens on a regular basis, and the majority of baseball coaches we know will not miss any of their favorite teams’ games.

With our selection of beer mugs, wine glasses and small shot glasses, all available with 30 MLB team logos, you can truly give a unique gift that will be remembered for as long as it will be used.

And if you really want to go the extra mile, then...

Add That Personal Touch For A Coach

You can also add a personal touch to really remind them of you every time they see it. The message can be a name or an inside joke, or just a favorite coaching term that comes up at every training session.

Just check out the “Personalize Your Mug” section on our site and see how easy it is to remind them who the gift is from, to make it a really memorable experience.
