3.5 Ways Custom Mouthguards Make The Holiday Season Even Better

The holiday season is one of, if not THE, greatest times of the year. So, how do you make it even better? Simple; give a gift the whole family enjoys.

Here are 3.5 reasons why custom mouthguards are a great gift to make the holiday season even better for players, coaches, trainers and parents alike:

1. If it’s the right size, it won’t be returned

While clothing isn’t the most exciting holiday gift — particularly if you’re a kid — it’s by far the most returned present, and that’s almost always due to incorrect sizing.

Unless you’re attending an ugly sweater party, you typically don’t want to wear clothing that’s too bulky, uncomfortable and awkward-looking. You undoubtedly want your clothes to fit perfectly, be comfortable and look good. Well, mouthguards are no different.

Much like oversized shirts or way too tight jeans, boil-and-bite mouthguards are ill-fitting and uncomfortable, making it difficult to perform well on the field. They inhibit your players’ ability to speak and breathe clearly and instead of focusing on the game, players fidget with their mouthguards. With custom mouthguards that are designed to perfectly fit your players’ individual mouth structure, you never have to worry about making a return.

2. Making a list and checking it twice

When buying holiday gifts for your friends, family, teammates and players, you want to make sure you get everyone exactly what they want. It’s no fun getting the wrong present, so when you choose the right gift, it’s something they truly value and appreciate.

With a completely personalized mouthguard — from color and logo to name and number — your athletes don’t just get the perfect present, but a new piece of team gear they value as much as their jersey. It gives them an identity. Every Gladiator^® custom mouthguard with a player’s personalized name, number and team logo instantly becomes a favorite piece of their uniform and an essential component of completing their game face.

And that’s a gift that keeps on giving!

3. Holidays are the time of year for family…

The holiday season is one of the happiest times of the year! Presents are given and received; cheer, warmth and hot chocolate flow freely; and friends and family gather to be together. It’s hard to not be in a great mood and feel closer to those around you.

Shouldn’t your team feel like a family? With custom mouthguards, your players won’t just look good; they’ll become more cohesive as a unit. The unifying power of wearing a shared color and logo helps to develop a strong identity and build camaraderie between teammates. Custom team apparel goes a long way to helping players feel like they are a part of something bigger — a group, a collective, a family. 

3.5.  …and smiling

When you give your team custom mouthguards, your players smile like it’s the holidays year-round.  And those custom mouthguards help to protect those smiles all season long.
