Personalize This Ball

A basket works when every piece has a job: one keepsake for his shelf, one thing he takes with him, and a note from the family.

Basket Tier 1: Under $70

Start with the Personalized Senior Night Basketball ($29.99), add the Slam Dunk Sipper ($26.99), and finish with the senior night card from Etsy (about $9.95) and a handwritten note. Three pieces for about $67.

Basket Tier 2: Under $150

Let the bag be the basket. Put the Personalized Senior Night Basketball ($29.99), a printed team photo and a handwritten note inside the Court Side Duffle Bag ($99.99). He unzips it on senior night and carries all of it to college. Total: $129.98.

What to Add to Any Basket

Flowers for the walk, his favorite snacks, and a ball signed by the whole team. Let the personalized pieces lead.

Senior night is not only a parent occasion. Teammates, boosters and families all have a reason to mark it, and pooling money changes what you can give.

Matching Gifts for Every Senior

When a booster club is gifting the whole senior class, order the Slam Dunk Sipper ($26.99) for each player with his own name and number, so the set matches and every senior still gets something that is his.

A Thank-You for the Coach

The senior families can go in together on the Coach of the Year Custom Basketball ($29.99) with the season and the whole roster engraved on it. For more ideas, see our coach gift guide.
