Buying a gift for a pole dancer needn’t be a stress...
...in fact, we believe they’re one of the easiest friends you can shop for! Not that we’re biased or anything. But, if the world of pole dancing is uncharted territory for you, finding that perfect gift may feel like a shot in the dark. Don’t fret though, that’s what we’re here for.
There are so many products out there, it’d be impossible to name them all, so we’ve broken it down into a few categories, highlighting just some of our best sellers to give you a bit of food for thought.
£4.00 – £16.00
Now, we know what you’re thinking…really? Socks?! But hear us out. These are not your run of the mill, basic, last minute Father’s Day type socks. For pole dancers, socks and stockings aren’t just a great way to keep warm in the winter months but they’re also beneficial for flow and heels choreography. For those friends who like to pole barefoot, we’d recommend a pair of the Rolling Contemporary dance socks which will aid them in their floor transitions, pirouettes and turns whilst leaving their heels and shins exposed for grip. They come in a wide range of skin tones and bold colours and are a great option if you’re looking to stay on the lower end of the price scale. Our Rad collection also offers a variety of socks for everyday use but with pole related quotes, letting everyone know your special someone is an incredible dancer without them even having to mention it.

Socks don’t just have to be practical though, they can also make a statement! From knee highs, to thigh highs, stripes to diamanté, mesh to fishnets, subtle to neon, you name it, we’ve got the pair for every aesthetic. Keep things simple and classic with a pair of Lunalae Thigh Highs, a top choice that will go with every outfit. Or be bold and grab them a pair from our vibrant Rolling collection, with a range of colours and patterns that will make every dancer standout! After all, who says socks have to be a boring gift?
£3.50 – £16.00
It’s no secret being a pole dancer is pretty strenuous work. All that gripping, flipping and flexing around the pole can leave a body feeling a tad worse for wear. Life can be so busy and hectic sometimes; we often forget to treat ourselves to a little TLC now and again and pole dancers are no different. So why not do it for them and treat them to some much-needed Body Rehab. Our Grip and Glow skincare products will cover all their recovery and relaxation needs. Made from natural ingredients, the Arnica Body Gel will soothe any bruising and inflamed areas left after a brutal training session. Its non-oily based formula combines well with all our grips, meaning dancers can get straight back on the pole without any fear of sliding. These treatments are perfect for on-the-go self-care and should be applied 2-3 a day for best results.
Alternatively, spoil them to a luxurious night in with the Grip and Glow Whipped Salt Scrub, available in scents ‘Pina Colada’ and ‘Gaga for Grapefruit’. This bath butter will scrub away their aches and pains, remove dead and dry skin and allow a fresh layer to absorb its healing extract from head to toe. Follow it up with the quick and easily applied Hydration Mist; a water based, anti-aging, moisturiser that’ll have them feeling revitalised and thankful with every spray.
£6.00 – £17.00
Believe it or not, you can massively contribute to your friend’s pole journey by setting them up with some quality stretching equipment that will help increase and maintain their flexibility. Consistent stretch and resistance training is crucial if dancers want to nail those bendier moves but is something a lot of us are guilty of neglecting. Give them that gentle nudge with some Lunalae Rubber resistance bands. These are the perfect training tool to assist in those poses where that foot is juuuuust out of reach, but hey, that’s what practice is for! These bands are also great conditioning tools to assist in handsprings and deadlifts.
Better yet, give them a fun challenge and throw in the flexibility Enviro. Co Training Dice (also available for strength training exercises). With a variety of folds and twists along with various lengths of time to hold the poses, these bad boys will have them back bending and contorting in no time. Well, maybe a little time, the splits don’t happen overnight after all.
£14.00 – £35.00
Staying on theme, while some of us take a more spontaneous approach to our training, others may prefer a more structured plan. If the dancer in your life is a fanatic for making lists, setting goals and tracking their progress then they’ll absolutely love the Ultimate Spin City Pole Bible. Pole catalogues and journals are a great way to help a friend out when they’re stuck in a rut with their pole regime and need some extra motivation. This hardcover reference book is the ideal guide to training, with over 1600 illustrations breaking down each pose, the core Spin City syllabus and a colour coded key identifying the skill level for each move. These bibles don’t just stop at individual pole training either. The Spin City collection offers guidance on hoop training, pole double, hoops doubles and strength and conditioning!
If they’re just starting their pole journey, help them along the way with the pocket- sized Pole Deck training cards! These packs are a top choice for mastering your basic climbs, sits, inverts, spins, transitions and overall laying a great foundation that will improve their form and technique for the long haul. Each deck contains 50 illustrated cards including a description for each move, it’s difficulty level and potential ways to combine tricks into a combo. They’ll never have a boring workout again! Packs can be bought separately or as a double/triple bundle to cover all the bases.
£12.00 – £99.00
Now, we know picking an outfit for someone can always feel a bit daunting, especially when size guides can vary so much depending on the pole wear brand. However, like we said before, you can still transform a friend’s pole wardrobe without trying to guess what style of shorts or tops they’d prefer. Garters, harnesses and suspenders are amazing gifts that allow your friend to accessorise however they wish, elavating any outfit they already own (on and off the pole).

With such a wide range in style and price, these items can either be the perfect stocking filler or the main event. Add that sexy flare with the simple yet effective Bandurska Marion Suspender, made with adjustable waist and thigh straps for a perfect fit. Or be daring with the Rolling Halo Harness; a triple belted, golden hooped adorned, head turner. This versatile accessory is the gift that keeps on giving with adjustable and removable garters, qaulity satin elastic and hoops/clips for adds ons like tails, chains, your keys, you name it, to create a more bondage style look. The only issue with this product? Having to pick just one colour.
£4.00 – £40.00
Kneepads are a must for every poledancer! Whether we’re stretching, performing or training, it’s vital we protect our knees. Do they already own a pair of pads? Help make them last even longer then and grab them some replacement padding. They’ll be thankful for you with every painless slide, roll and kip flip. There’s a vast amount of designs and brands to choose from when it comes to kneepads, so it can feel a bit overwhelming finding the right pair. Have a look at our list of the top rated kneepads out there, ranked on their aestheitc, durablity, price and compactability for a bit of extra guidance.
