Meet-day flowers, candy bouquets and gift bags
For meet-day flowers, order a candy bouquet or ribbon-flower bouquet from Etsy (they survive a long meet better than fresh flowers), or pick up grocery-store flowers on the way. For teams, make treat bags: clear bags, a gymnast tag, a scrunchie, a key chain and a snack.

Frequently asked questions
Do you give gymnasts flowers at meets?
Many families do, usually after awards. Candy or ribbon bouquets last longer than fresh flowers in a hot gym.

A scrunchie or bow, a key chain or grip-bag charm, a snack, and a fun tag.
How much should a meet treat bag cost?
About $3-$8 per gymnast if you buy hair items and charms in bulk.
When should you hand out treat bags?
After awards, so nothing distracts from warm-up or competition.
Are candy bouquets allowed in the gym?
Usually yes in the stands; check the venue's food rules.
