  Personalized gifts are a hit with girls of any age! A home embroidery machine makes it convenient and economical to create a variety of customized gifts for all the girls in your life. For a girls' softball team, choose to embroider the team name or logo, a monogram, a softball-related design or a design that reflects each girl's personality.
  
  

Personalized Bags

• Softball players carry lots of equipment and extras, so an embroidered duffel bag is an ideal gift. You can make a duffel from scratch with minimal sewing skills or you can purchase blanks to embroider. A smaller tote, drawstring knapsack or makeup bag comes in handy for keeping up with smaller items.
  
  

Towels

• Despite the name, "golf towels" are useful for many athletes. These small towels have a grommet, which allows the owner to clip the towel to a bag for easy access. Purchase blank golf towels to embroider or add a grommet to a large washcloth or small dish towel.
  
  

Warm-up Suits

• It gets cool after late-night games and practices, so a personalized jacket or running suit will surely be appreciated. Oversized sweatshirts are an affordable and easily accessible alternative to nylon running suits.
  
  

Stadium Blankets

• Fleece blankets are inexpensive and easy to embroider. Girls will love snuggling up under their personalized blanket in the bleachers or dugout, or on the ride home after a game.
  
  

Drink Holders and Koozies

• Softball players get thirsty, so an embroidered water bottle carrier or koozie will get lots of love. Blank neoprene koozies are available through specialty shops online and some craft stores. Just embroider the design and stitch up the sides.
