Life’s Better At The Beach Coffee Mug

Your beach loving friend can’t be at the beach all the time. I mean, it would be great. But sometimes, she has to be home, working, taking Zoom meetings, driving the car pool. Coffee helps with those things.

And coffee is better in a Life’s Better At The Beach Coffee Mug. You could pair this with some coffee or tea, depending on what your friend drinks, to make it feel like a complete gift.

Life Is A Beach Enjoy The Waves Towel

If the beach is your friend’s favorite place, she probably has a lot of home decor that’s beach themed. So this Life Is A Beach Enjoy The Waves Towel is the perfect gift.

It’s really cute to hang in the kitchen for a little pop of happiness. Plus, it’s a beachy gift without being something your friend needs to use only at the beach. She can enjoy it anytime.

Beach Towels

Honestly, you can never have too many beach towels, especially if you’re shopping for someone who lives at the beach. My parents have a ton of pool towels, but when we visit, we’re all at the pool every day. There are so many towels and never enough towels.

So, picking up a few fun Beach Towels for your friend is perfect. They’ll either just add them to the collection or use them to replace some older towels.

Sunglasses

Going to the beach without sunglasses is pure torture. It’s impossible to see anything with the sun reflecting off the water. So sunglasses are a must.

If your beach loving friend goes to the beach a lot, a pair of sunglasses is a great idea. A pair for every car, every purse, and every beach bag is ideal. 

Every Sea Shell Has A Story Decorative Box

Collecting seashells is one of the quintessential beach activities. When you head to the beach, you have to come home with a seashell or five. But what do you do with them when you get home?

If you pick up this Every Sea Shell Has A Story Decorative Box for your beach-loving friend, he or she can fill it with those seashells and display it as a reminder of previous beach trips. That’s adorable.

Wet Bathing Suit Bag

One of my favorite things for beach days is a Wet Bathing Suit Bag.

It’s the perfect thing to bring to the beach. It’s a great way to pack your dry undergarments when you go to the beach. Then, when you change into them before driving home, you can put your wet bathing suit in the bag. It’s so useful.

Beach Shade

When you’re spending those long days at the beach, shade is so important. It can get really hot out there. Most people pack a beach umbrella, but we’ve been seeing more and more beach goers using beach shades. They’re so easy to set up, stay up with the wind (and it’s almost always windy at the beach), and provide enough shade for the entire group, plus your beach table, beach blanket, cooler, and more.

So, if you’re looking for something your beach friend and you don’t mind the extra cost (because these are a little pricy), this is a great gift idea.

Starfish Couple in Swimsuits Christmas Ornament

If you know a pair of beach bums, this Starfish Couple in Swimsuits Christmas Ornament is the perfect present for them. It comes with a male and female starfish, completely dressed for the beach.

It’s the perfect ornament for their Christmas tree. And a safer bet for something to buy in case your beach friends have everything they actually need for the beach.

Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

What’s a beach day without some music? For us, we always bring a Bluetooth speaker with us on our beach adventures. Honestly, Pete even takes one on our bike rides.

If you’re heading to the beach, you want a Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with you. Waterproof is the keyword here. If not, someone might come out of the ocean, drip all over your speaker, and ruin it.

Sand Proof Beach Blanket

If you’ve been to the beach — even once — you know what a pain the sand can be. We have blankets that we’ve used for picnics and the pool numerous times after their last beach trip, and they still have sand in them.

That’s why a Sand Proof Beach Blanket is a great gift idea. Just shake out the sand and you’re good to go. Finding one that folds up into an accompanying bag is clutch too, so it’s easy to transport.

Mesh Beach Tote Bag with Detachable Beach Cooler

This Mesh Beach Tote Bag with Detachable Beach Cooler is great for the beach. You can put your beach gear up top and your beach snacks and drinks at the bottom.

It separates too, which means you can just use the mesh bag by itself if you’re going for a short trip and don’t need snacks.

Beach Cup Holder

If your beach chair doesn’t have a cup holder, you usually have to put your drink in the sand. Which isn’t ideal because you get a ton of sand on your water bottles. And then you get it all over yourself. A great alternative is to use a Beach Cup Holder.

You stick it in the sand and put your drink in it. I like this one a lot because it has a pocket that can hold other things like your phone, lip balm, or sunglasses.

Tommy Bahama Backpack Cooler Chair

We absolutely can’t go to the beach without our Tommy Bahama Backpack Cooler Chairs. We each have one, and we love them.

The best part is the back of the chair has two pockets. The top is basically a backpack to put beach gear in and the bottom is a cooler to store food and drinks. It also has straps so you can carry it like a backpack and have your hands free to carry other things.

Beach Tapestry Mandala Beach Blanket

How pretty is this Beach Tapestry Mandala Beach Blanket? I love that it’s round because it doesn’t look like a typical beach blanket. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors, although a bigger blanket is a better way to pack all your beach going friends on it.

Just shake it out a lot when you’re done using it. It’s not sand proof like the blanket above, so you want to get rid of all the sand before you pack it up to go home.

Flip Flop Wall Ornament

If your friend lives at the beach, she probably has all the beach gear she needs.

So instead of getting something to use at the beach, get her something for home. This Flip Flop Wall Ornament says, “Life is better at the beach”. It’s such a cute wall hanging and I’m sure your beach lover friend will have the perfect spot for it.

Hello Sunshine Straw Hat

I love big, floppy straw hats for the beach. They’re great at keeping the sun away, they’re really cute for the ‘gram, and they’re a fun gift for any beach-loving lady in your life.

My favorite version has “Hello Sunshine” printed on it, but if you click the link, there are a variety of options and sayings, so you can find the one that fits your friend best.

Glass Jar

Okay, this feels a little weird, but bear with me. A glass jar is a great place to store all the sand your friend or family member has collected on their beach vacations.

What my mom does is she takes one of her disposable plastic bottles and fills it with sand when he’s at the beach. Then, when she finds a glass jar she likes, she fills it with sand, labeling each beach on the jar. It’s homemade beach art. You can follow her Beach Vacation Sand Art Tutorial to make your own.
