MLB

Baseball fans can be particular. Not hard to please, just particular. They know who they root for. They know EXACTLY how they feel about that team. And believe me, they will know if you messed that part up. What they root for is your in. Once you know that, you have already done half the work. The rest is just figuring out what will feel earned rather than just dropping a logo on something. We compiled this collection because there is a vast canyon between officially licensed gear and genuinely good gifts for baseball fans. There is a lot of stuff out there with the right logo on it that no one would actually want to buy for themselves. We didn't want any of that. If it wasn't something we would confidently gift to an enthusiastic baseball fan ourselves, it didn't make this cut. Does that mean we only carry things that remind you directly of your favourite team? Of course not. Baseball means more than that to the people that follow it. It's generational, it's regional, it bleeds into your life and your memories like so few other sports do. Going to games with your dad as a kid. Listening to games on the radio all season. Knowing who's on your favourite team like you know your neighbours. When you find that perfect thing for a baseball lover it's more than merchandise. It feels woven into those stories. That’s why we’ve picked pieces that fit every type of ballplayer you’re shopping for. The dad who has been cheering for their team since they were born and already has all the obvious stuff. The friend who maybe just got into it and is discovering what they want to display around their home. That kid who hasn’t quite made that mental connection that this is their new favourite thing. We’ve thought about all of them while building this. That’s also why this selection is relatively small. There are entire warehouses filled with MLB merchandise and the majority of it is decent but completely forgettable. We wanted to curate the stuff that was worth actually giving as a gift. To find that special something that will land just right in the home of a true fan who will appreciate exactly how you chose it.

Philadelphia Phillies

There’s a type of Phillies fan that doesn’t have to defend their fandom. The ones who watched the Phanatic rally the Bucs in Citizens Bank Park on a Tuesday night in April when they were six games under five hundred and didn’t give a shit. The ones who remember 2008 like it was last week. The ones with opinions on the lineup whether you asked for them or not. Buying gifts for that kind of person should be simple. And yet it never is, because your options will invariably fall into the two extremes; cheap stadium tat or the sort…

Pittsburgh Pirates

There's something unique about being a Pittsburgh Pirates fan. It's not the easiest fan base to support. The tradition runs deep. The loyalty runs deeper. But the people that bleed black and gold bleed proudly. Not because their team is on some sort of winning streak but because that is who they are. Where they're from. When you understand that, buying a Pirates fan a gift isn't difficult. You aren't buying for someone who googled "sports teams" and thought the logo was cool. You are buying for someone who grew up with a piece of this team tattooed on their…

San Diego Padres

Being a Padres fan is a specific experience. It’s not quite bandwagon excitement of a dynasty nor the downtrodden acceptance of a perpetually mediocre franchise. There’s something uniquely interesting about rooting for San Diego. Whether it’s love of the city, adoration of a ballpark that sits literally in the ocean, or attachment to a brown and gold colour scheme that used to look awful but now looks better than almost everything else in sports. Padres fans know all of this. They live it. And they rock it. When buying a gift for a Padres fan, generic sports merch doesn’t quite…

San Francisco Giants

Giants fans can generally be separated into two categories: those who have everything…and think they have everything. That camp is trickier. You know the Giants fans we’re talking about. The 2010 jersey. Dusty roster card collection from World Series memories rubbed smooth from overuse. The dudes who will interrupt your Oakland vs Giants chat with opinions about Oracle Park whether you’re asking for them or not. Gift shopping for that kind of Giants fan is tough. Jump too close to home and they’ve probably already got it. Go generic and you’re insulting them a little. We’ve been that Giants fan…

Seattle Mariners

Being a Mariners fan is an exercise in faith of sorts. It demands quite a lot from you. Always has. But those of you who love this team love it. Love it like you cheer when they are winning and whisper when they are losing. Love it through silly seasons and seasons that make you swear. If you’re looking to buy something for one of these people, you already know that about them. You know they’re not looking for some novelty bullshit or an itchy tat that ends up shoved in a drawer. They want something useful, something they’ll actually…

St. Louis Cardinals

There’s a Cardinals fan out there that doesn’t want just any Cardinals apparel. They want the good stuff. They want merch that actually matters. Tops that don’t look like they came off the forecourt of a petrol station on game morning. That stuff’s tough to find. Which is exactly why we built this collection in the first place. Cards fans mean business. This is a team with eleven World Series wins. A stadium atmosphere that opposing teams find intimidating. Fans that don’t look at baseball as a hobby, but as heritage ingrained into their families across generations. When shopping for…

Tampa Bay Rays

Buying something Rays related to give another Rays fan isn’t as easy as picking up whatever has the logo on it. Rays fans are the type of fans that care. They’ve been there through the bad years, they know what it’s like to root for an overachieving club and they can spot bullshit from a mile away. If it feels cheap when you touch it, it doesn’t matter how official it looks. That’s not us being defensive, it’s us understanding who we’re shopping for. We’re shopping for that one person. Not the person that watches a game on ESPN during…

Texas Rangers

There's a Rangers fan out there who loves wearing that faded cap you bought them back in 2011 and it's not an embarrassment to them, it's a badge of honor. We get it. But there's also a birthday. Or a Christmas. Or a graduation. Or the end of a season where everything finally went right and you want to give that special someone something that means something to the friend/family member who bleeds blue and red together. Enter this gift collection. We put thought into this. Not just mindlessly clicking through licensed merchandise to find the least offensive option but…

Toronto Blue Jays

There’s a type of fandom that shouldn’t have to justify itself to anyone who understands. Blue Jays fans know what we’re talking about. You feel a certain way about this team that’s ingrained differently than any other sport can get. Part memory, part defiance, part real love for a city that cares about baseball even when the record doesn’t necessarily reflect it. Want to find a gift for someone who feels like that? Easy. Go to the right store. Hard. Most team gift shops and sports apparel areas are legitimately painful to get through. Literally heaps of the same thing…

Washington Nationals

There is a rare breed of fan for whom buying gifts can actually be rewarding. The Nationals fan who has stuck by this team through the drought, who remembers exactly what they were doing in 2019, who scrolls the standings before they look at anything else in the morning. Whoever they’re buying for knows they’re a real fan. Finding worthy gifts is the hard part. We curated this list because we feel like most licensed sports merchandise is kind of lazy. That same-old cap. That same-old jersey. That same-old coffee mug but with a logo on it. There’s nothing wrong…
