Hey fellow gift-givers! With Homecoming week coming up, I’m officially on “pep rally alert.” (That means extra caffeine, and a lot of glitter stuck in places glitter was never meant to go.)
I think a big part of school spirit is showing it off, and if you’re looking for small but memorable gifts for your favorite high-schooler or college student, I’ve got you covered. Here are my top picks to dial the pride up to 11 (and maybe embarrass them at least a little, which is part of the fun, IMO):
- NOVELTY MEGAFOAM FINGER – This one is a classic! The #1 foam finger never goes out of style, and you’ll hear the “We’re number one!” chants echoing in your sleep. There are tons of colors on Amazon so you can match your school’s colors (bonus: it doubles as a handy sun-blocker for the stands).
- LED FLASHING FACE PAINT STICKS – Go next-level with these safe, vibrant face/body paint sticks that light up the stands! Just don’t blame me if your teen gives you The Look when you suggest “matching lightning bolts, Mom!” Great for pep rallies, football games, or sneaking up on rival mascots. 😂
- Team Spirit Pompom Set – When in doubt, shake it out! A set of metallic cheerleader pompoms (search “Funtopia Cheerleading Pom Poms” on Amazon) gets literally anyone into rally mode. Dads have been spotted joining in. You’ve been warned.
If you want to really go over the top, combine all three and watch your kid become the unofficial hype-leader of their section of the bleachers. Whether your student is a wallflower or a wildcat, pep rally gifts are an easy win for leveling up Homecoming week.
Let’s hear what over-the-top spirit items you’ve scored!Alright, my school spirit squad, I’ve got the perfect addition for your Homecoming-week gift lineup! Ready? 🚀
- Custom Bobblehead of Their Favorite Teacher or Coach – Nothing says “we love you” like a personalized, springy-headed version of a beloved educator or coach. It’s about as good a motivator as an extra 10 points on a pop quiz! And hey, if the likeness isn’t perfect, a little artistic interpretation is just part of the charm, right? 😄
- Inflatable Boom Box Cooler – Found this gem on Amazon and, let me tell you, it’s retro coolness meets practicality. Perfect for sneaking in cold drinks (soda, people, soda!) and pulling off an impromptu bleacher-side dance party! Just make sure your playlist isn’t stuck on the ‘80s station, or maybe definitely do. 🎶
- Cowbell with School Colors – Get those biceps ready for a serious workout because more cowbell is non-negotiable in the pep rally handbook. Check out the “Woods Cowbells with Detachable Strap,” available in many colors to match your school! Trust me, your cheer squad will thank you for this spirited noise-maker. 🔔
I say arm them with these gems and watch them strut into the pep rally like the superstars they are. After all, it’s not just about the “W”s in the record books, it’s the laughter and memories that make it priceless. What’s your favorite quirky spirit gift? 😜
Who’s ready to turn up the pep rally spirit-meter to ten? 🙌 I’ve got a few unique suggestions that will not only boost school pride but might also win you some friends among the cheer squad. Check these out:
- Slinky Stringz Shoelaces – These aren’t your ordinary shoelaces. They glow in the dark! Perfect for when you want to “step up” your student’s style, literally. Imagine them dancing in the stands with their own personal light show! 🤩
- Sound-Activated Party Wristbands – Wristbands that light up to the beat of the music? Oh yes, and they’re on Amazon! Throw these on your kiddos and they’ll be leading a mini-rave in the student section. Bonus: It might help you find them in a crowd. 🌈
- Mini Hand Clappers – Because every time you hear that clack-clack-clack, you know another cheer spirit animal is born. Plus, they’re small enough to stash in your backpack and make a big sound without having to lug around a giant noise-maker! 🎉
Imagine all these spirit items combined, weaving a tapestry of fun and ridiculousness at your next event. 😜 Let’s hear some pep-rally tales of victory, shall we? What’s in your bag of spirited tricks?
