Holiday Gift Guide · 2026
Since they’ve been nice all year.
Ten gifts for the dancer who spent this year in a leo, a carpool, or a backstage hallway eating Goldfish for dinner. We did the shopping homework. You take the credit.
10 GIFTS · ZERO GUESSWORK
From one dance family to another
Your turn to play Santa.
You drove the carpool. You sewed the elastics. You watched Waltz of the Flowers from the back row so many times you could probably cover for a sick Flower yourself. So here’s the easy part: ten gifts we’d want under the tree if we were your dancer, from Nutcracker crewnecks to the recovery tools their feet have been begging for since September.
Holiday sweatshirts
For the dancer who’s been “in rehearsal” since the cast list went up.
Drafty backstage hallways. Early Saturday spacing calls. The walk from the stage door to the car in December. Our holiday sweatshirts were made for all of it.
Pick the one that matches your dancer’s Nutcracker energy, or get all three and let them rotate through tech week.
Pointe Your Mistletoes Crop Hoodie
$60
Matcha green, cropped at the high waist, and roomy enough to throw over a leo.
Lock In Nutcracker Crewneck
$50
Soldier vs. Mouse King, swords crossed. Adult and youth sizes, so siblings can match.
Not My First Nutcracker Crewneck
$48
For the vet who could teach the party scene by now. Unisex adult sizes.
Hydrate between snow scenes.
Not My First Nutcracker Water Bottle
$3832 ounces of cold water for the dancer who’s done this ballet more times than the Mouse King has died on stage. Sip it upright or tip it back to chug. It keeps drinks cold for up to 48 hours, and there’s a spot on the back for their name (so it stops wandering off in the dressing room).
Also a sneaky good gift for the teacher who’s been herding toy soldiers since Halloween.
Their quads will hate us.
Their extensions will thank us. Dancer training tools for the strength behind the skill.
For the dancer chasing a higher développé, a steadier balance, or the triple pirouette that’s been “almost there” since spring.
These are the conditioning tools we’d tuck into every dance bag if we could.
Flex Force Weights
$36
Ankle and wrist weights in soft silicone, 1.1 lbs each. Tendus will never feel the same.
YoBack Recovery Tool
$125
A three-piece wheel for tight calves, stiff hips and the knot between their shoulder blades.
Flex Force Bands
$18
Four mini loop bands from Light to X-Heavy, plus an exercise card made for dancers.
Feel good after dance.
Their feet have been through it. Send help.
Pointe class, a three-hour rehearsal, a full day at competition.
These are for the part of dance nobody posts about: the couch, the foot soak, and the “will you rub my feet?” face.
Arch Angel Foot Roller
$18
Textured ridges for cranky arches. 6.5 inches, so it actually fits in the dance bag. Pink or gray.
After Dance Cool Down Kit
$44
Four Covet Lab goodies in a reusable pouch: Relevé Cooling Gel, Pointe Powder, Plié Pedi-Soak and Brisé Spray.
Holiday Sugarplum Barre Balm
$19
Arnica-infused foot balm with a cotton candy scent and hints of jasmine. Very Sugar Plum Fairy of it.
Off duty. Still a dancer.
Comfy after dance apparel for the second they walk in the door and the leo comes off.
New · The Covet Dancer track set
Dancers have two settings: full out and fully horizontal. Our new track set covers the hallway between classes and the 11pm awards ceremony. Heather gray fleece, black piping, and DANCER right where everyone can see it.
Sold separately. Worn together, obviously.
The PJ sets
And for after the after: silky, soft and made for studio sleepovers, intensive dorms and falling face first into bed after convention.
Ballet Bow Loungewear
$65
Long sleeve top and wide leg pants covered in pointe shoes and ribbon bows. XS to 2XL.
Always Here For You Silk Pajamas
From $58
A silky short sleeve set with bobby pins all over. Adult S to 3XL.
Paw De Chat Girls Silk Pajamas
$58
Ballet kittens doing their very best pas de chat. Girls S to L.
Best stocking stuffer ever.
We said what we said.
Holiday Ballet Bear Body Wash
$16She’s wearing a fluffy winter scarf. She’s full of Honey Almond body wash. Her holiday scrunchie doubles as a tutu (and later, as an actual scrunchie for the bun). Grab one for every stocking in the dressing room.
Limited quantity. Scrunchies vary, but they’re always festive.
Be the dancer with the answers.
Dancer Problems Kit
$28 · two for $52A costume strap snaps two minutes before curtain. Someone has a blister, a hangnail, chapped lips and a halo of flyaways, all at once. This purple pouch fixes all of it: Mend It sewing kit, Boo Boo Beads hot/cold pack, Nailed It file, Wisp Wand, Dance with Me lip balm, Blister RX bandages and two hair ties.
Get two. One for their dance bag, one for yours.
MVP of the barre.
Tutu Crew Sweater
$84Game day energy, ballet edition. An oversized cotton crochet knit with a jersey-style 22 on the front and back, stars on the sleeves and TUTU CREW across the back. It goes over a leo between classes or over a costume backstage. Adult XXS to XL.
Fair warning: the dance bestie is going to want one too. Plan accordingly.
For the dance bag you’re afraid to open.
Spray It Ain’t So Freshness Trio
$33You know the car ride home. You know the smell. This pink bag holds three of our hardest working spritzes: deFEET da FUNK for shoes and bags, Covet Costume Fresh for the costume that has survived more competitions than washes, and lavender Brisé Spray for everything else.
Half a gift for your dancer. Half a gift for your car.
Pamper those toes.
Dancer Foot Care Kit
$24Their feet carry them through every combination. Time to return the favor. This pouch holds a 3-inch spiky massage ball for arches and calves, a bottle of deFEET da FUNK, and our four-piece Nailed It manicure set for shorter toenails and a less painful pointe class.
Pouch and ball colors vary. The relief does not.
That’s a wrap.
Ten gifts, zero guesswork. Still stuck between the hoodie and the YoBack? Our gift quiz asks a few quick questions and points you in the right direction. Happy holidays, and merde to every dancer with a Nutcracker this season.
