Beaches can be a relaxing way to enjoy your day.
Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary or wedding, gift baskets with a beach theme can be a creative and inexpensive way to show your love. A cornucopia of products exist that can make any beach basket come to life without killing your bank account. The obvious ideas of towels, lotions and sandals are certainly permanent staples to these baskets, but there are some other ideas that might not be so obvious but are just as important.
Beach Tote or Pail
Roomy tote bags make practical gifts.
When developing a gift basket with a beach theme, the basket itself can be used as one of the gifts. A beach tote or a large pail can be ideal substitutes for a wicker basket. Both can provide ample space for other gifts and be used for future beach excursions. Large pails are best for people with children because they can be easily turned into beach toys. Bags and pails come in a variety of colors, designs and shapes and can be priced to fit most any budget.
Athletic Item
Beach balls are a great way to have even more fun in the sun.
A good sporting gift, such as a frisbee, football or beach ball, can also help round out a beach basket. These items can be used by all members of a family, young and old, and can add another aspect of enjoyment to any trip to the beach. Be sure to use products that can withstand an aquatic environment, as they will more than likely get wet. Several options are available at several prices, but many can be purchased inexpensively and still provide as much excitement as their more expensive counterparts.
Tropical Treats
Dried fruits are a healthy way to enjoy beach life.
An edible component to any beach basket can be dried tropical fruits, nuts or teas that will provide sustenance while enjoying the sand and sun and when hoping to bring the beach atmosphere home with you. Dried fruits, such as mango or pineapple, make excellent tropical treats, as do macadamia nuts or even black coconut tea. All can be found in a variety of packaging, and most can be very reasonably priced.
