The holidays are coming up, and there are some items that you have to have on your Christmas list if you're a tennis player. 

If you're shopping for the tennis player in your life, they're sure to appreciate any item on this list. These are all items that are helpful to have going into the new year.

1. Racket Grips 
   Every tennis player needs some grips when the one on your racquet wears out. They also make great stocking stuffers!

2. New Tennis Balls
   Replace those dead tennis balls with some new ones to put in your tennis bag. There's nothing more satisfying than cracking open a fresh can. 

3. Racket String
   Tennis players are always breaking their strings. This is another stocking stuffer that can come in handy.

4. Gatorade Energy Chews
   In the middle of a match, sometimes tennis players need an extra boost. These are a great energy boost to have in your tennis bag!

5. Wristbands
   Some stylish wrist bands to help catch the sweat are a great gift to put on your list too. 

6. Headbands
   Head bands are also helpful for a sweaty day on the court, and they're always a cute look.

7. Cooling Towels
   Special cooling towels help tennis players cool down while on court. You will be so happy when receiving this “cool” gift!

8. Visors/Hats
   Visors and hats are very handy to block out the sun during those hot matches. Especially since you probably have sweated through a couple visors and hats, it's always nice to have extra!

9. Dri-fit socks
   Tennis players can't have enough socks. The ones that squeeze your feet just right are another perfect stocking-stuffer!

10. Dampeners 
    Tennis players are always losing dampeners. They are great for stopping your strings from being bouncy and give you more control. Some cute dampeners are a great gift!
