Gifts for Beach Lovers

• There are many options for gifts for your beach lover. Beach image by Dimitris Lamproulis from Fotolia.com

  Beach lovers are the ones who seek refuge by the ocean when they need to get away. They are the sand-craving adventurers who allow the sun and nature to pamper them. They are the water whales who prefer miles and miles of waves over blocks and blocks of buildings. Give your fun-in-the-sun loving beach bunny a gift that's targeted specifically for her.

Designer Sunglasses

• Perhaps your beach lover is more in love with soaking up a few rays and playing volleyball in the sand. Grant him a pair of designer sunglasses to stay in style during his beach outing. Make a trip to your local department store to select a pair that matches his style. There are guides online where you can get an idea of the general style of frame that best complements a face shape. Some guides also give examples of celebrity faces for each shape as a reference point.

Beach Lover's Basket

• Customize a basket to suit personalities of all kinds. You can build a basket made for a short weekend jaunt to the water or for the beach bum who spends a two-week vacation on the sand. Choose all the items you'll include in the basket as a start and to be sure you have enough room to fill the basket of your liking. Beach basket must-haves include sunscreen lotion, a beach towel, snacks like crackers and cheese, fresh spring water and sunglasses. Make your basket special with a theme to include beach hats, sports with volleyballs or sandcastles with a pail and shovel. Pack your items in a picnic basket, large beach bucket or mini wicker chair and wrap to contain securely.

Beach House Rental

• For a large gift for special occasions, surprise someone special with a beach house rental for the night or weekend. Print out pictures of the property and insert in a card to your recipient. Accompany the card and photo with a bottle of sunscreen or attached to the handle of a plastic shovel with a ribbon. For a larger surprise leading up to the trip, include a new bathing suit or plastic oversized surf board.
