What about a mix if items? This scarf is a fun gymnast gift: http://www.gymsupply.com/scarffleece72x11.aspx
Plus things like a key chain, lip balm etc.
This bracelet is fun too: http://www.gymsupply.com/braceletgymnastbraceletwithblacksuede-1.aspx

Team water bottles, podium flip flops, matching grip bags.

I'd go with something like scarves or bracelets or the like -- some of them may be attached to their grip bags. But as a parent, I am always happy to see a new water bottle come into the house to replace the ones that are constantly disappearing! I also wouldn't do something like personalized score notebooks on the theory that most of them already have something like that, though that might be a great team gift for girls going to states for the first time.

They're supposed to get gift bags when they go to state?

My kids have made a LOT of trips to states, and over the course of all of them, I think have gotten two small good luck gifts from the gym.

Is this a gift from the gym/parents to your own gymnasts?

If so, we don't do this at our gym. The gymnasts always get something from the host gym....and when we host states or regionals, we also do some sort of goodie bag for all those participating. But never anything specifically for our own girls.

A nice bottle of wine for the parents? Just a thought... lol

I designed hoodies for the girls last year. It was a big hit and the girls still wear them. I had each girl sum up the season in one word or a short phrase and put them all as hashtags on the sweatshirts. I had their names blinded on the front. I ordered them from a local vendor and they ended up being $22!

I would have thought that getting to States was the prize.

The gifts are from the gym , the $ comes out of the team account . It's just a little token for their hard work . The coach just assigned a parent for each level to pick something out. I appreciate all the ideas . I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with this wall art I found that is quite unique and the coach approves . Here is the link

Forgot to mention that they each will be personalized which the girls will love !

Thanks again !!

Must be hard for the kids who do not make state. Maybe every kid makes states at your gym.

Every child gets a gift whether they make states or not . We had 3 ( my daughter included ) who didn't make it last year due to injury but normally everyone makes it !! We have a small optional team only 10 level 8-10s
