The growth of women’s basketball has been a long time coming. We’re seeing filled arenas, regular social media highlights, and frequent merch drops. The game has never been more accessible, and we’re all about it. Women’s basketball makes our lives more fun, and there’s a shared positivity that makes this community feel special.
That’s why we put together this guide. For anyone who lives and breathes women’s hoops, there’s no better holiday gift than one that brings them closer to the game they love. The gift picks on this list are designed to do just that. From cozy blankets and sweatshirts to unique stocking stuffers and on-court collectibles, we’ve got something for every type of fan.
Top Picks from the Home School Hoop Shop
Home School Hoop is the merch arm of 30 Second Timeout. Every piece is designed by longtime fans and made with serious love for women’s basketball.
Festive “Sweater” Sweatshirts
Designed to look like Christmas sweaters, these cozy sweatshirts ($42.98) come in team-inspired prints (Aces, Fever, Lynx, Valkyries, and more) and are the perfect mix of bold and playful. They’re soft, warm, and slightly oversized for max comfort. Show off your WNBA team pride at your office holiday party, or wear it cozied up in front of the TV.
W-Inspired Velveteen Blankets
Ultra-soft with vibrant, W team-themed designs, these velveteen throws (starting at $34.98) are a go-to for winter couch season. Whether you’re watching a doubleheader or settling in for a nap, these blankets are made to wrap you up in fandom and warmth. Choose from team styles (like the Liberty, Lynx, or Valkyries) or player-inspired styles like this one of Paige Bueckers.
Unique Finds From Around the Web
If you’re looking for even more ideas, these picks are from brands you know and love.
Homage WNBA Logo Tees
Guaranteed to be the softest tee in the closet. These Homage WNBA logo shirts ($36.00) are made with a cotton blend that you’ll look forward to putting on. Homage partnered with the WNBA to release these logo tees for every team.
Rookie Made Women’s Basketball Prints
Independent artist Sloan Brown’s brand, Rookie Made, offers limited-edition, hand-signed prints ($30.00) that celebrate the joy, energy, and culture of women’s basketball. Each piece is bold, colorful, and made for those who want their walls to reflect the game they love.

Cameo From a Pro Women’s Basketball Player

Dawn Staley’s Memoir
There’s so much more to Dawn Staley than her legendary run as South Carolina’s head coach. In her memoir Uncommon Favor ($28.99), published earlier this year, she shares her basketball journey from the playgrounds of North Philadelphia to Olympic gold medals. It’s a masterclass in discipline and purpose.
Stocking Stuffers & Under-$25 Surprises
Gifts don’t have to break the bank to make someone smile. These finds are fun and affordable, perfect for rounding out a loved one’s holiday haul.
Mrs. Clause Hoops Too Ornament
The holidays can get busy, so you can’t blame Mrs. Clause for burning off some North Pole nervous energy by hooping it up with the reindeer. This vintage-style ornament ($22.98) is a reminder that basketball is for everyone.
Women’s Basketball SLAM Magazine Collectibles
SLAM Magazine launched back in 1994, but it wasn’t until 1998 that a women’s basketball player (Chamique Holdsclaw) first graced the cover. Today, women are regularly featured, and those issues have become highly sought-after collectibles. You can still snag some of the more recent women’s covers ($11.99).
Sabrina Ionescu “Night-Night” Candle
Light up this Sabrina Ionescu candle ($23.98), say “night-night”, and feel calm knowing your team has one of the top clutch shooters in the league.
Team Holiday Mugs
Your mornings are immediately better with these cheerful WNBA team-inspired holiday mugs (starting at $22.98), each featuring a vibrant festive "Christmas sweater" design. Choose from the Aces, Lynx, Liberty, Storm, Mercury, and more. Psst... there's also a new one for Portland fans.
Whether you’re shopping for a fellow women’s basketball fan or treating yourself, we hope this guide makes your holiday season a bit more fun and a lot more women’s hoops-filled.
Thanks for supporting women’s basketball and being a part of this amazing community.
