Beach Accessories With a Modern Twist

July 6th, 2016 by admin

Boy, beach accessories have come a long ways from what they had back in the day. There was a time when all you had was a towel or a blanket to throw down to protect you from the burning sands and the occasional crab trying to crawl up your leg. If you wanted to be stylish, you were pretty much limited to a flashy colored blanket with maybe a silly saying on it. And don’t even think of all the painful memories of dragging lawn chairs all the way out to the beach, struggling to set them up, fighting over who gets one, just to have the legs crumple up or the plastic weaves fall through, or screaming when your arm touched the red hot aluminum strut, much to the amusement of your fellow sunbathers.

Perfect Holiday Gift Ideas for the Beach Lover In Your Life

June 30th, 2016 by JustinR

Holiday shopping can be a tricky, if not frustrating task. On one hand, you want to give family and friends practical gifts that they’ll use and love. Still, everyone hopes to be as thoughtful and unique as possible when picking out the perfect Christmas, Hanukkah, or general holiday present. If you have a beach loving person in your life, consider some of these totally distinct personalized gifts they’ll cherish all year long.

What’s a unique personalized gift for the beach lover?

If you want to get a head start on your holiday shopping, remember that summer-themed gifts are always a pleasant, unexpected surprise. If your sister, aunt, mom, dad, or another family member has a shore house, pick out a gorgeous personalized piece of wall art with crab shack or classic beach theme. Instead of the expected hat and mittens or cookie platter, they’ll love seeing their family name proudly displayed. Best of all, a personalized sign goes perfectly in both a primary and summer home.

What’s a special island or beach Christmas gift?

For the shore loving girl or guy who has it all, you have to think outside the box to achieve that true “wow” effect. Luckily, specialty beach decor shops offer one-of-a-kind treasures you won’t find in typical stores. Plan ahead, and order a set of personalized island shot glasses with the person’s monogram or last name. Then, to complete their bar, browse a huge selection of tiki barrel signs you can personalize with a family name and adorable “year established.”

What are some shore gifts you can take to the beach?

Perhaps your parents or friends have everything they need in the ways of beach decor. If you still want to commemorate their love for the surf and sand, buy them some unique personalized beach gear they can use next season. Ladies could always use a new personalized beach tote bag, while the lads will appreciate a fun beach cooler duffel bag with family surname. When unique flair meets total functionality, you’re “shore” to please that special someone who seems to have it all.

Get a jump start on the rest of your holiday shopping with great coastal gifts for every beach lover you know.

So you’ve finally decided to buy that dream bungalow vacation home on the beach. Or maybe you intend to reside there all the time. Either way, if it’s furnished, it’s probably been done in beach bum chic, you know, with random bits of driftwood and whatever other stuff has washed up on the beach in a storm.
