Padel gift for Father’s Day: a racket with his name on it
Father’s Day falls on Sunday 20 June 2027 in the UK and Ireland. If your father plays padel, a racket with his name on the face is a present he uses every week, at €99.99 including VAT. Order by Wednesday 2 June 2027: production takes up to 7 working days and DHL at most 3 more.

Socks, a book, another bottle: most Father’s Day presents are forgotten within a week. A padel racket with his name on the face is not. It goes out onto the court every week, for years.
Why this gift lands
A good present says: I know what you actually enjoy. For a father who plays padel, a racket with his name, his nickname or a family joke on it is precisely that. It is not a standard product off a shelf, and unlike a mug or a photo frame it gets used. The base racket underneath is a professional one: round shape, 3K carbon face, EVA foam core, 360 grams, with a 12-month warranty and a full colour print that resists UV.
Three ideas for the design
- His name, large, across the face. Simple and timeless. Capitals in a colour that contrasts with the background read best from the far side of the court.
- DAD or his nickname, plus a date. The year the children were born, or the year he started playing, printed along the side. Subtle for anyone who knows.
- A Duo Deal for father and child. Two matching rackets, each with its own name, for €200. The present and the playing partner in one.

The timing: order by 2 June 2027
Father’s Day is Sunday 20 June 2027 in the UK and Ireland. Count back from there. We check your design by hand before production and only get in touch if something is unclear. Production in our workshop in the Netherlands takes up to 7 working days, and DHL adds at most 3 working days anywhere in Europe. Order by Wednesday 2 June 2027 and the racket is in the house by Thursday 17 June at the latest, with one working day to spare before the Sunday. The Irish bank holiday on Monday 7 June is already counted.
Two things that eat into that margin: a parcel that has to travel on to a second address, and customs. Deliveries outside the EU, the United Kingdom included, pass through customs, where DHL may ask for import duties and local VAT before handing the parcel over. The times and costs per country are in delivery across Europe.
What it costs
- Printed face: €99.99
- Full Custom, face and side: €119.99
- Duo Deal, two Full Custom rackets: €200
- Blank racket, no print: €79.99
- Premium protective cover: +€15, with your design +€35
Prices include VAT. Shipping is added at checkout and depends on the country, from €6.95 in the Netherlands to €16.95 to Ireland and €17.95 to the United Kingdom. All our prices are in euros, and there is no minimum order.
How to put it together
Open the designer, choose the colour of the face, type his name, pick the colours and look at the 3D preview. It takes five to ten minutes, no account is needed, and you can place as many images as you like on the face and the side. If you are unsure whether a photo has enough resolution, upload it anyway: we check that for you before anything is printed.
