It is the best time of the year! I’ve rounded up all of the fun summer vacation-themed gift ideas for summer soirees, birthdays, and other fun summer occasions. Everything in this curation pairs well with the beach and an ice cold refreshment.
The Summer Gift List
- Palm print pool floatie, for relaxing in the pool and looking cute at the same time.
- Colorful and portable plastic wine glasses. These work great on a boat because they have lids you can sip out of, and if you have a big group you can all pick your colors and people will remember which cup is theirs.
- Drink umbrellas, for the fancy cocktails or mocktails you should be making to make it feel like you are on vacation, even at home.
- Drink garnishes, for the above-referenced fancy drinks.
- Popsicle molds, for making your own summer afternoon treats.
- Vacation Perfume, if you want to smell like all of the nostaligic smells of summer – featuring pineapple, bathing suit lycra, pool water, and coconut, you will smell like the essence of summer.
- Grilling skewers, for when you host BBQ’s.
- Cute sunscreen kit, for staying protected on the go.
- Infuser pitcher. This is such an easy way to make your water fancy. You just cut up whatever fruit you want and stick it in the compartment in the pitcher. I recommend cucumbers and strawberries!
- Lemon print beach umbrella, because its the cutest beach umbrella I’ve seen.
- Cute summer tote. I love this one because of the sunbathing print. Perfect for vacations.
- Tasseled beach towels, because these are more stylish than your average beach towel, and
- A grill pan. In case you don’t currently have an outdoor grill (like me), you can still grill indoors!
