" Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach... it pisses me off! I'll go over to a little baby and say 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life! "
― Steven Wright

I grew up in Goa. It’s the smallest state in India and is known for its tourist friendly beaches, spectacular nightlife and casinos. It’s like the Miami plus Las Vegas of the country. We get tourists from all over the world.

I’m not much of a gambler and I seldom go to these parties anymore but I do find myself going to the beach every now and then to enjoy the peace and the natural beauty of the places where the land meets the sea. For me the sound of water playing pull and push with the land is soothing and even comforting. It’s like nature’s own melody.

Following is a list of the best gifts for people who love beaches. Pick one that suits your recipient.


1.

Beach Themed Wall Clock

It’s better to give gifts that are aesthetically pleasing. Recipients prefer those over the ones that are more practical. This beautiful clock with a aerial view of a beach will be perfect for a recipient who loves beaches.

It makes for a nice decorative piece too. The frame is made out of bamboo wood and it comes with a built-in hook. And once they put it up on their wall they’ll get to see the stunning sight of the beach every time they look to see the time.


2.

Beach Art Backpack

A gift should be practical enough so that the recipients can put them to use, although inefficient gifts are better for certain situations. This gorgeous beach themed backpack will be a great gift for anyone who is fond of beaches. It’s useful as well as pretty.

The design is inspired by beach photos and watercolor artwork that imitates waves. It’s made from premium quality material so it’ll last long. Ideal for students or anyone who uses a backpack regularly.


3.

Deep Sea Moving Sand Art

Many beach lovers enjoy the view of waves coming to the shore before they go back to the sea, only to come back again. They find the rhythm soothing. I guess it is because it provides a break from the usual hectic nature of modern life filled with chaos and uncertain situations.

This moving sand art is no match for the real thing, but your recipient will appreciate having something around that replicates it and reminds them of their favorite place to be.


4.

Seahorse Wall Decor

It’s good practice to consider your recipient’s interests when picking a gift for them, but you don’t always need to be too specific. Unless you’re a literal mind reader or know your recipient too well, there’s always going to be a mismatch between what they want and what you think they do.

You’re better off picking something that matches their general interests or relates to them. It also helps if they can put it use, even if the utility is looking nice on a wall. This exquisite seahorse wall decor is a fine gift idea for someone who like beaches.


5.

Remember the times when mobile phones used to be too big to fit in our pockets? Yeah, those times have returned and people need something to carry their 20 inch screen smartphones phones.

All those UFO conspiracy theorists are going crazy not knowing. Save them.


39.

Beach Sand Coasters

They say invention is born out of necessity. I imagine some guy sitting at the beach, he digs his bottle into the sand to keep it standing while he checks how many likes he got for the overexposed beach selfie he just posted with a caption inspired by a tumblr post about nature. After he’s done dealing with the disappointment of the lower than expected number of likes he turns around to find a bigger tragedy. The hole wasn’t big enough and the bottle is toppled, his beer consumed by the sand. He says to himself. “I wish there was some way to prevent this.”

He’s an optimist and figures he should make something out of a bad situation. Suddenly he hears the wind talking to him. There’s is whisper, “Beach sand coasters!” And thus a new product idea is born. I don’t know if it happened that way, but whatever the origin story we now have this gift from god to the beach loving, beer drinking mortals. This is clever gift idea that is hard to be not impressed by.
