We’re Back for the Holidays – Let’s Make Up for Lost Time
The holidays are back on the schedule at Carrot Stick Sports—and this year, we’re not sitting on the sidelines.
If you’ve shopped with us before, you know this is a one-person operation. It’s just me, Scott, packing orders, answering emails, and cheering on fans from behind a wall of boxes and team colors. Missing the 2024 holiday season was tough. Not being around when fans were hunting for that perfect gift or that new favorite hat? That stung.
So this year, the game plan is simple:
Show up. Show out. And help you score some seriously fun fan gear.
Show up. Show out. And help you score some seriously fun fan gear.
Why This Holiday Season Feels Different
Last year, we weren’t in the holiday mix. No late-night orders. No “this is a gift, please don’t include the receipt” notes. No “my friend is a huge [insert team] fan, help!” messages.
This year, we’re back—and we’re treating it like a comeback season.
- We want to earn our way back into your holiday shopping routine.
- We want to be the place you think of when you need something for the sports fan who “already has everything.”
- And honestly? We just missed being part of your fan stories.
What You’ll Find This Holiday Season
We’ve loaded up the site with a deep lineup of officially licensed gear across NCAA, MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA, soccer, and more. Some highlights:
- Hats for the collectors and the “I just need a good game-day lid” crowd
- Barware and drinkware for homegating, tailgating, and “one more game” nights
- Socks and winter wear to keep you warm from kickoff to overtime
- Collectible toys that make excellent stocking stuffers
Whether you’re shopping for a die-hard fan or just treating yourself, there’s something ready to jump off the bench and into your lineup.
Clearing Space for What’s Next
You’ll also notice some styles where we’re down to the last few pieces. That’s on purpose.
We’re working to:
- Clear out the final few of certain styles so they can find a good home
- Make room for new orders and fresh gear in the near future
So if you see something you like and the size or team is still available, it might be one of the last ones. Once it’s gone, it’s making way for the next wave of fan favorites.
Small Shop, Big Heart
Carrot Stick Sports isn’t a giant warehouse. It’s one fan (hi, still me) doing everything from ordering inventory to printing shipping labels.
When you shop here, you’re:
- Supporting a small, independent sports shop
- Helping fuel future plans like our mobile “Bullpen Car” pop-up experience
- Keeping a real person doing a little happy dance every time an order comes in
There’s no corporate playbook here—just a lot of heart, a lot of tape, and a genuine love for sports and the people who follow them.
Let’s Make This Holiday Season Count
We missed the 2024 holidays. We felt it. And we don’t want to miss another one.
This year, we’re here, we’re stocked, and we’re ready to help you:
- Fill stockings with fun, fan-worthy toys and gear
- Upgrade your game-day setup with fresh hats, barware, and more
- Grab those “last few” styles before they’re gone for good
Thanks for sticking with us, cheering us on, or even just checking out what’s new.
Now let’s make this holiday season one to remember—for you, your favorite fans, and this little shop that’s excited to be back in the game.
