Tennis Gifts for Her
Under $50
1. Forty-Love Tennis Socks - $29
The detail that finishes the outfit. Our tennis socks come in navy and green - ribbed, branded and polished enough to give as a gift on their own or tuck into something bigger. The kind of thing you did not know you needed until you had them.
2. Forty-Love Customised Tennis Ball Set - 3 Pack - $39
A personalised set of three tennis balls, available through Forty-Love. A fun, playable gift that feels thoughtful rather than generic. Perfect for the player who has everything or the one just starting out.
3. Pink Neck Fan - $30
A bladeless, rechargeable neck fan in the most Forty-Love colourway imaginable. Worn hands-free between sets or on the walk from the car to the court - practical, functional and genuinely useful on warm Australian mornings. A founder favourite.
4. Forty-Love Digital Gift Card - from $50
When you want to give the gift of choice. A Forty-Love digital gift card lets her choose her own piece from the collection - the right size, the right style, delivered straight to her inbox. The surest way to give something she will actually wear.
5. Wicked Sunday Co 'Love Means Nothing' Quote Candle - $43
The oldest joke in tennis, done properly. Wicked Sunday Co's Love Means Nothing candle comes in a clean black jar with a wooden lid - a gift that lands a laugh and still looks good on the shelf.
6. Forty Love by Jane Costello - $23 (paperback)
A tennis rom-com from one of Britain's best-loved romantic comedy writers. Forty-something single mum Jules has lived next door to the local tennis club for years without ever picking up a racquet - until now. A story of reinvention, second chances and finding a new passion just when you thought it was game over.
7. WADY Tennis Camera Mount - $10
Clips to the net post or the fence and holds a steady courtside angle for recording matches, reviewing form and capturing content.
8. Ground Pass to the Australian Open - from $49
The gift of an experience. A day at the AO is unlike anything else - the atmosphere, the energy, the tennis. Book a ground pass and give her a day she will talk about until the following January.
Under $150
1. Forty-Love Visor - $59
Our visor was designed to keep the sun out of your eyeline without sacrificing the silhouette. Court-ready and considered - pairs beautifully with the full collection or worn solo with a simple outfit on a summer morning.
2. Girls Tennis Earrings - Forty-Love - $115
A pair of players caught mid-shot - one hitting an overhead, the other a volley - with skirts finished in blue and green for hard court and grass. Full of character and detail. A lovely gift for a player or someone who simply loves watching the game.
3. Ball Through Tennis Racquet Necklace - Forty-Love - $200
A ball drawn through the strings of a racquet, suspended so both pieces sit open and exposed. Sterling silver or gold plated, on an adjustable chain that wears close at the collarbone or dropped slightly lower. Simple idea, beautifully executed.
4. Casetify Tennis Edit - from $87
Court graphics across iPhone cases, AirPod cases, watch straps and laptop sleeves, done with enough restraint to avoid novelty. Useful if her phone lives on the bench beside her.
5. Club Pikl Byron Breeze Pickleball Paddle - $79
Pickleball has taken half the tennis world with it. The Byron Breeze is a fibreglass paddle in a soft coastal blue from Club Pikl, another local small business we love, inspired by Byron Bay’s calm and creative spirit. A fresh, well-designed way to bring a friend onto the court.
6. Crossed Racquet Mini Studs - Forty-Love - $105
A delicate pair of crossed racquets in sterling silver or gold plated over sterling silver, sitting close to the lobe. Refined enough for the court, elevated enough to wear every day.
7. Rally Ribbed Tank - Forty-Love Collection 2 - $89
A ribbed tank with contrast binding at the neck and arms and our logo at the chest. Easy to pair back with the whole collection, on court or off.
8. Ace One-Piece - Forty-Love Collection 2 - $119
Court, studio, street. The Ace moves between all three without a second thought. The Ace One-Piece is our most versatile piece yet.

Limited collection. The fitted navy shorts pictured come with the dress.
2. Changeover Jacket - Forty-Love Collection 2 - $279
Our newest layer. Designed to warm up in, wear between sets and take off court without changing. The piece that pulls the whole kit together.
3. On THE ROGER Clubhouse Pro - $205
Co-designed with Roger Federer, these are our founder's personal favourite tennis shoe. Performance on every surface, clean enough to wear off court, and available in colourways that work with what you are wearing. The shoe that earns its place in permanent rotation.
4. Beaded Tennis Tote Bag - PrettyRobesShop (Etsy) - $216
A hand-beaded tennis court tote from Etsy maker PrettyRobesShop - part bag, part artwork, and the kind of piece that starts conversations at the clubhouse. Handmade, so each one is slightly its own. You can get it personalised with a name.
5. The Stylish Life: Tennis - Ben Rothenberg - $62
Tennis style, traced decade by decade, in one properly made volume. Ben Rothenberg's editorial eye brings together the style history of the sport. A thoughtful gift for a thoughtful player.
6. Classic Laines Slippers with Tennis Lover Brooches - Wolf and Badger - $163
Navy slippers, tennis brooches, worn nowhere near a court. From Wolf and Badger, for the man who loves the game even when he is not on it. The kind of thoughtful, personality-forward gift that shows you actually know him.
7. Wire Flex Racquet and Ball Bracelet - Forty-Love - $200
A flexible wire band in sterling silver, one end finished with a racquet strung in fine woven detail, the other with a textured ball. It flexes open to slip on, no clasp needed, with the racquet and ball crossing at the front.
8. Sideways Tennis Racquet Necklace - Forty-Love - $200
A racquet set sideways along a delicate gold plated chain, its frame finished with pavé stones and the strings left open to the light. It sits level at the collarbone, a quiet nod to the game.
9. 14K Gold Tennis Ball Ring - Forty-Love - $230
A 14K yellow gold ball set atop a sterling silver racquet that curves gently around the finger. Adjustable to fit different ring sizes, so it can be worn wherever it sits best. A striking piece for those who love the game.
10. Forty-Love Championship Tennis Skort - $159
The skort that does the work. A structured silhouette with side pleats, inbuilt performance shorts with ball pockets on both sides and our signature green stripe detailing. Made for real play, clean enough for everything after.
The Luxe Edit
1. Italian Luxury Group Personalised Tennis Bag - $336
Natural canvas, burgundy stripes, and her name on the side of it. A step above the standard racquet bag, and the personalisation is what makes it land. Customisable in different colours.

6. Louis Vuitton Suzanne Racket Pouch - $3,150
If you are going all out - the Suzanne Racket Pouch in Monogram canvas. Because some players deserve a racquet cover that matches the rest of their life. One for the collectors, and the kind of gift that arrives in a box.

The ultimate gift of an experience - finals weekend at the Australian Open. A seat at Rod Laver Arena for the women's or men's final, January 2027. The kind of gift that becomes a memory.

The man who loves tennis. The man who loves the woman who loves tennis. Either way - he is covered.
1. Federer: Classic - Assouline - $205
The definitive coffee table book on the greatest of all time. Assouline's Federer Classic is a beautifully produced collector's edition - the kind of thing you display on a shelf and reach for on a Sunday afternoon. He has read everything and watched everything. He does not own this.
2. Hommey Hand Towel - Hunter - $25
Hommey makes its towels heavyweight, dense-looped and spa-soft, and the deep Hunter colourway sits naturally in a tennis palette. A modest gift that gets used every single day.
3. Louis Vuitton Jane Notebook Tennis - $180
A monogram tennis notebook in orange - practical and the kind of thing he will actually use. For tracking scores, planning tactics or simply looking the part courtside. The entry point to the monogram, and it still arrives in the box.
