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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jellyfish Ornament

No one wants to come in contact with a jellyfish in the ocean. But on a Christmas tree, that’s totally fine and adorable.

My mom and I saw them on a tree when we were in Charleston a few years ago and fell in love with them. So I know your beach loving friend will love them too.

Beach Bag

A few years ago, my mom bought me a really cute Vera Bradley beach bag. I honestly can’t even remember what bag I was using before I got this new bag. I think I was just sticking everything in the pocket of my Tommy Bahama bag.

So, even if your friend goes to the beach a lot (or is like me and lives at the beach), a new beach bag is a good idea. A canvas one with nice handles and a zipper up top is great, but anything beachy is good.

Drink Clip

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 drink clip.

One side clips onto the arm of your beach chair and the other side holds your drink. It’s super convenient.

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.

You can either buy a regular large one or a foldable sun visor version, which is so much easier to pack in a beach bag.
