Beach Essentials
For anyone who spends lots of time by the water, here are a few take-to-the-beach favorites.
- Sunflow beach chair - This beach chair is built to last. My husband gave me mine one year and I've taken it on every beach trip since. I love the adjustable sun shade, the drink holder, and the backpack straps.
- Sand free beach towel - A quick dry sand free towel is a must for beach days. We've had ours for years and they still looks great.
- Beach umbrella - We tried several before finding this one that actually stays put on windy days. It's easy to set up and has never let us down.
Coastal home and kitchen ideas
These home and kitchen gifts bring in that beach house feeling with coastal colors and relaxed design.
- Bar set - This Caraway bar set has everything you need to make easy breezy cocktails. The quality is amazing and it comes beautifully packaged for gifting. The mist color reminds me of sea glass.
- Sea Salt Le Creuset pot - I've had my Le Creuset Dutch oven for over 10 years and it's what I use to make seafood stew and so many other things. This sea salt color is gorgeous.
- Baking dish set - I use this set of nesting ceramic dishes for baking just about everything. The rustic turquoise glaze on the outside gives them a handmade look that's really pretty for serving.
Homemade gift ideas
A handmade gift adds a personal touch that makes it extra special.
- Oyster Shell Trinket Dish - Use oyster shells, patterned napkins, and a little gold paint to make a unique trinket dish. It's an easy decoupage project and you can customize the pattern to fit the person you're gifting it to.
