The Ultimate Gift Guide for Sunny Days
There’s just something about summer that makes us want to pack light, live slow, and soak it all in. Whether you're planning long beach days, impromptu road trips, or just backyard hangs with the crew, these are the pieces we're reaching for again and again — and gifting to everyone we love.
Here’s what’s making the cut this season:
Travel Espresso Machine
Because early surf checks and sleepy camp mornings deserve real coffee. Compact, easy to pack, and no electricity needed — it’s our not-so-secret weapon for keeping the vibes strong (and caffeinated).
Good tunes = good times. We’re all about a waterproof, sand-proof speaker that can hang through beach days, sunset hangs, and late-night fires. Bonus points if it clips onto your tote.
Lightweight, airy, and big enough for snacks, sunscreen, and six different types of towels. We love the ones that shake the sand out and keep the wet stuff from getting funky. I have had this for a year now and absolutely swear by it!
If you're beaching with littles (or are a big kid at heart), this one’s a no-brainer. Packs flat, pops up, and is always ready for tide pool treasure hunts and impromptu sandcastles. It also comes with a mesh bag for every rock and seashell you snag along the way.
Wrap ‘em up post-swim in a poncho towel that’s equal parts cute and practical. Keeps the chill out and the sun off while they run wild.
Hands-free is the move when you're carrying surfboards, beach blankets, and a cooler full of drinks. A good sling bag keeps your keys, phone, and snacks right where you need them. This is my everyday bag and I absolutely love it!
Oversized, sand-resistant, and easy to shake off at the end of the day — the kind of beach blanket that becomes a permanent fixture in your trunk all summer long.
Whether you’re stashing sparkling water or post-surf beers, a solid cooler is essential. We live by our cooler backpack- it’s great for summer concerts, beach trips and on the go snacks that are kept cold all day long.
Easy on, easy off, and totally rinseable. We keep a pair by the door, in the car, and in the beach bag. You never know when your day might turn into a beach day.
Whether you’re packing up for a weekend getaway or just want to make your local beach setup feel dialed-in, these summer-ready picks are what we’re hauling around all season long.
☀️ Catch you in the sand.
