Coaches Gift

I'm a TM looking for ideas... Coaches, what is the best gift you've gotten? What have you given? We have 3 dedicated coaches who deserve a big thanks for all they do...
 
I've been told a cruise or at least a gift card for 10% of all fees including hotel costs are appropriate if want your kid to see the field next season

I’d love to send them on a cruise! Probably wouldn’t be able to find a weekend off the field. Which reminds me I should probably do something for their wives. They hardly are home!
 
You can mix something of value with something creative like a video.

One parent from our team interviewed all the girls to get funny/touching answers - what does xxxx do well, what does xxxx not do well?, what have I learned from xxxx?, what is xxxx’s favor phrase in practice? lets see you do your xxxx impression!

With some music and clever editing it was great.
 
We give gift cards for gas stations (given all the driving) and then team swag - a lot of coaches don't get a lot of club stuff and will appreciate the shirts, jackets ect.

A big coaches winter coat would be nice. But get it “unbranded” (no club name). Coaches move around so much and those jackets are great for December through March games

Gag gift.....or is it???
 
That’s probably better than some of the USSF coaching courses out there.
Our first year in the USSF League, I think our coach only had "D" average and that book for dumb dads. He was trying to get a "B" but was having a hard time.
 
gift cards to local soccer shop, target, gas cards, starbucks/whatever. close second is replacements for any team gear that is falling apart (ball bags, etc)

another good one might be a subscription to theathletic.com or equalizersoccer.com, if they're a reader/podcast listener type
 
Why should the coach that you are PAYING to coach your kids get a gift? If you really think you should buy someone a gift, then get a nice gift for the team manager that does not get paid. Most team managers work really hard and put in a lot of hours.
