Shopping for the perfect gift for the pole dancer in your life doesn't have to be stressful or overwhelming. It gets way easier once we break it down like this:
- What's your budget?
First things first. There are plenty of pole gifts at every price point, so there's no point breaking the bank if you're on a budget.
Just select an option below to see gift ideas in your chosen price range. And if price is no object, there's a luxury category too. - How fast do you need it?
If time is tight, a digital gift card might be best. Look for the gift cards option below for instant delivery gifts. Got more time? Most online orders will arrive within a week, but if it's close to a busy shopping time of year, or you have a hard deadline, be sure to check shipping policies before you finalize your purchase. - What do they want or need?
This is almost always the hardest part. Unless you're making your own gift list, then it's the fun part!
If your intended recipient isn't dropping obvious hints, there are a couple of ways to find out what they might like:
1 - Ask their friends. This age-old method likely won't let you down. Pole friends know what pole friends like, and if they don't know, they can easily find out.
2 - If they take classes at a local studio, stop in and inquire with the staff. Studio-goers tend to be a pretty close-knit group, so someone is bound to know someone who knows exactly what your giftee would love to receive.
3 - If you really can't pin this down, the gift card option is always a good default. In this case, your only decision is to choose a general category, like clothing or online lessons. And if all else fails, Amazon has it all!
4 - One final option is to forego the surprise. Be honest and tell your recipient that you'd love to buy them something they want or need for pole, but you don't have a clue what that might be. Then suggest the two of you do some online browsing together so they can pick out what they'd like.

Jamilla Deville Ultimate DVD Collection - $120
This award winning DVD set from Jamilla Deville, one of the world's most accomplished pole performers, would be a welcome addition to any pole dancer's collection.
The set includes the Art of Pole series, widely referred to as the "Pole Dancer's Bible." These five full length DVDs include detailed step-by-step instruction, mini-routines combining the moves being taught, warm up and cool down exercises, and even short performance segments.
Also
included are two additional DVDs with a variety of pole dancing
routines. These are fabulous both for inspiration and for help with
choreography.
Suitable for all levels and designed with progression in mind. This DVD set has a 5 star rating at Amazon, with good reason. Highly recommended by Your Pole Pal!
Pink Rhinestone Platform Ankle Boots - $167
SexyShoes is one of Your Pole Pal's all time favorite online shops for pole dance shoes, and these pink platform boots are just one more awesome reason to head on over there right now!
These
gorgeous ankle boots have a 2.75" platform, a 7" heel, and are covered in glittery rhinestones. They also have a side zipper for easy on/off.
Any pole dancer who is taking exotic style pole classes, or just enjoys the sexy side of the sport, is sure to love these fabulous boots!
Premium Pole Crash Mat - $240
Pole crash mats really shouldn't be considered a luxury item, at least not once it's time to tackle climbs and inversions. Falls from a dance pole can be very dangerous, particularly where inversions are concerned.
A pole mat will help your favorite pole dancer stay safe while learning more challenging moves. This particular mat gets Your Pole Pal's recommendation for several reasons: At 5' wide and 3.5" thick, it's built to be good at what it does; the foam is very firm, and the outer vinyl layer is said to be tough enough to handle stilettos!
This pole dancing safety mat is available in purple, black, pink and blue, and each mat comes with its own carrying case.
Pole Dancing Gifts Under $100
Flashdance LED Platform Sandal - $99
There's not a pole dancer alive who doesn't LOVE a great pair of platform shoes. Add a little sass in the form of LED lights and you've got a sure winner.
These popular Pleaser shoes have an illuminated slide and heel. The platform measures 2 3/4" high with a 7" heel. The lights are USB chargeable and feature 7 color changes & 4 lighting patterns.
And if this shoe isn't quite "it," there are lots of other options in heel heights, colors, and styles available from Your Pole Pal's favorite online pole dance shoe shops, Sexy Shoes.
Sexy Shoes ships worldwide and has an awesome selection of footwear just perfect for the adventurous pole dancer.
Art of Pole 5 DVD Box Set - $99
This 5 DVD set from champion pole dancer Jamilla Deville is a complete training program in a box.
Suitable
for all levels, these DVDs cover everything from the basics to advanced
tricks, inversions and more. Any pole dancer would love to add this set
to their pole dancing DVD library...just ask any pole dancer!
Pole Dancing Gifts Under $50
Extra Strength Pole Grip - $42
For those who complain about slipping or losing their grip while dancing, one of the popular brands of pole grip, such as iTac, tucked in a Christmas stocking might be just the thing.
This is a fabulous pole dancing gift idea, since grip issues plague almost every pole dancer. This particular grip is extra strength to help ensure a no-slip experience.
iTac2 works by repelling sweat and moisture. It's hypoallergenic and made from natural beeswax. And unlike some other products, it won't leave a white residue on skin or pole.
And bonus, the large 200 gram (7.5 oz) size will last quite a while, especially since a little goes a long way.
Flexibility Trainer - $35
If there's one thing that almost every pole dancer wants, it's greater flexibility. This pro level trainer attaches quickly and easily to any door, and can handle a tension load of 300 lbs. It's designed to stay in place, and will not damage the door.
Give the gift of flexibility to the pole dancer in your life!
Pole Dancing Gifts Under $25
Neoprene Half Sole Foot Pad - $20
Yes, it looks a bit odd, but this neoprene half sole is commonly worn by dancers (including pole dancers) to help protect the balls of the feet from blistering. Too many pivot turns in bare feet on a sweaty floor will do that, ouch!
Easy to slip on and off whenever a little extra protection is needed, these half sole foot pads are just the ticket to allow longer practice sessions.
Neoprene washes up easily and dries quickly, so these will always be ready when they're needed. Plus, they're now available in a variety of fun colors and patterns, and they also come with a cute carrying pouch to keep them clean and dry.
Pole Water Bottle - $25
Pole dancers need to stay hydrated, and what better way than with this sassy water bottle?
Stainless steel construction with a spout for easier drinking on the go. The plastic screw top even has a loop for easy carrying or clip it on (just be sure to unclip before getting on the pole!).
Holds 20 oz (approx 600 ml) of water or your favorite sport drink.
