Each foldable, natural-sandalwood-colored fan measures 8" x 14" and has a intricately carved design on its panels with a delicate white tassel attached to its handle.

For those beaches that don’t allow alcohol, we’re going to have to get creative.  Grab a personalized flask and fill it with your favorite beverage.  Pack a 6 pack of your non-alcoholic mixer and be sure to throw in a splash or two from your new sleek drinking vessel.  These cool and stylish flasks fit in the smallest of pockets and can be easily concealed.

It is no fun putting your ice cold drink in the sand, only to have it instantly get lukewarm.  Or when you go to take a sip of your favorite beach beverage, the sand stuck to the bottom of the moist glass inevitably ends up in your lap.  That’s where these plastic beverage containers come in ultra handy!  These beach coasters are ideal for a family beach day, or just hanging with friends.     

Made with durable renewable plastic, these containers easily hold most beverages, such as water bottles, cocktail cups, cans, beer bottles, or sippy cups out of the sand. These are also perfect for keeping snacks, phones, sunscreen, keys, sunglasses, or anything else close by and accessible. This is a 5 Colorful Set - Purple, Blue, Green, Orange and Pink.  And the bright color also makes it easy to find in the sand, so your kids can’t completely bury them on you. 

We discussed women’s head coverings earlier, and how it’s time to protect the scalps of the men.  How often do you see poor bald men baking in the sun?  Constantly having to lather up their smooth scalps to protect from the sun's rays. Well, protect those heads with this patriotic ball cap.  This military gift is a perfect way to show your patriotic side and keep the sun out of your eyes all at the same time.  

The Bourbon Barrel American Flag Patch is the first of its kind.  It will turn heads and you will be a walking conversation piece!  The patch is handcrafted from authentic bourbon barrels & pre-curved to fit any operator-style hat. This classic camo hat has an all-purpose design that makes it a great choice for everyday wear.  It will quickly become your go-to hat. 

No day at the beach can be successful without proper hydration.  These large tumblers can be a perfect housewarming gift and then be taken to the beach for years to come.  Fill them up to the cap with your favorite beverage and the insulated mug will keep the liquid to whatever temperature you desire.   

This is an insulated 30 oz and 40 oz powder coated tumbler. Whatever you want to be engraved right into the tumbler and will never fade or wipe away. Keep your beverages cold for 24 hours or hot ones for 8. The 18/8 Kitchen grade stainless steel construction provides a sweat-free product so no coasters are needed. Now that is ideal for the beach!
