So, whether you’re shopping for a new player or a seasoned slayer, they’ll be thrilled to have any of the items from this list waiting for them under the tree.

Stocking Stuffers

Pay homage to your loved one’s love for kendama with these fun and affordable stocking stuffers; which are also perfect for Secret Santa or White Elephant exchanges.

This cool kendama shaped bottle opener is essential on any players’ keyring and will fit perfectly inside a stocking. Available in black, red, or a fade!

Give a player’s keyring even more flare with a mini kendama keychain that can hang right next to their bottle opener.

Applying a few coats of Kenditioner makes the wood of a kendama more durable by seeping into the grain’s pores. It treats the wood; not only protecting it but making its grain pop.

You can never have enough string. This is a simple and easy gift that any player could appreciate. The Six Finger length allows player to cut it to their preferred length, and bearing beads to keep the tama spinning and tangle-free.

This Maple Sol Shape ken is perfect for someone whose tama is still playable but their current ken is scraped up and worn. Maple is durable and this is good way to get it without breaking the bank.

For the slayer with finer taste, a piece of jewelry made by Find Your Wings Co. There are only 7 of these beautiful silver and gold pendants in existence.

It’s kind of like that ring and hook game you see at dive bars but… kendama! Tama Toss is a wall game that anyone can play.The goal is to try and get the Tama on one of the cups or spike, much like regular kendama but… not.

Apparel

For those who might want some new threads, there are a lot of great brands out there that would fit perfectly in a kendama player’s closet. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite styles from shirts, hoodies, sweatpants and more.

For the lacing lady in your life, a sleek graphic tee to make her love for kendama a part of her everyday style.







Maybe Sunday has burst onto the kendama fashion scene and taken over. For lovers of kendama who are also lovers of streetwear, we recommend anything from this brand, but this hoodie and long sleeve tee are perfect for the season.

Keep their toes toasty with this gift that’s perfect for the player who has it all; Sweets Homegrown socks, which pay homage to kendama with their wood grain print.

For those who are likely to break a sweat while seshing, these Sweets Sweats (say that five times fast) are a perfect choice.

This Penguin Grip Tee from Sol Kendamas is funny because it refers to “penguin grip”: a way to hold a kendama while playing. Even though the penguin in the design isn’t actually holding his kendama in penguin grip, he’s wearing sunglasses so that makes up for it.

Here’s a style for all the Kromies out there, a classic Krom kendama logo shirt. It’s made with a Champion tee, so you know it will hold up through many sweaty practice sessions.





Breaking into the kendama game is No Jumper, not only producing kendamas but also apparel. They debuted this All Naturals shirt at this year’s North American Kendama Open and have since listed it in their online shop.

If the person you are shopping for is clearly addicted to playing kendama, then this shirt might fit them well. This is an item an adult player might like if other kendama apparel out there isn’t really their thing.

Kendamas

Of course the Kendama Player’s Holiday Gift Guide would not be complete without highlighting some great kendamas. These are set ups any player would be happy to tear the wrapping paper off of.

If the slayer you are shopping for likes Pokemon just as much as kendama, then look no further than Active Kendama’s Thunderbolt; a referace to Pikachu’s signature attack. This model has the Elite V4 shape and is fully functional as a professional grade kendama.

If you are feeling lucky this year, Sweets Kendamas has released their V21 Prime Customs aka Casino series. When the tama spins in the air the Roulette model resembles a roulette wheel but is way less risky.

Kendama USA’s Craft line up features some fantastic models that are all made in the USA, and our pick is the Craft Slim with White Ash wood. The Ash wood combined with the FYW Kenditioner mentioned above makes the grain shine, creating perhaps one of the most playable and beautiful set ups on the market.

This pro model from Krom Kendama is as sweet as a gingerbread house, and kind of resembles one, too! This exclusive run of Krom HEADSHOT pro models contains a fully walnut make-up and sticky laminate tama.





The Sol Pioneers series comes in 6 different color ways but we thought we’d mention the Wentworth and Kothar models as together they are the classic colors of Christmas! These have the All-Star bevel and come with character sticker designed by Ink Party.

Taking inspiration from the Bioluminescent creatures of the deep, this kendama is not only beautiful but has Krom’s 1% shape, maple wood, base cup warp hole; making it a premium kendama that any connoisseur could appreciate.

The Lyndon Whalen Pro Model features a cozy flannel-inspired design and is, of course, the Sol Shape; a shape you can never go wrong with. By gifting your loved one this kendama, you’re supporting a pro player, which means you’re also giving Lyndon the gift of royalties.

For the kendama player who has it all, consider this Falcon V1 by Quill Kendama. The ken is made with Sapele wood and is available for personal engraving for ultimate customization.
