Gifts of Sand and Sea for Beach Lovers

Whether they live by the beach or miss it in winter, these are some great gift ideas to bring that to them year round.


How can they not be delighted by this high quality baking pan to make 23 small cakes or quick breads in shell shapes? PERFECT to serve with coffee or tea.


The cast-aluminum pan distributes heat quickly and evenly to promote even rising, uniform baking and a golden crust. The exclusive gold colored nonstick finish helps cake come out of pan easily and makes cleanup a breeze. From Williams Sonoma.  $39.95 but on sale at publication for $29.95

Crocheted mermaid blanket is just the thing for chill nights - and at $18 how can you lose? Comes in several colors, from coral to gray to turquoise.  30% cotton, 70% orlon. Find on AMAZON.


Personalize your cottage with a sign made just for you. There are several makers on Etsy, and with this one, PerfectlyPerfectStudio, you can choose from 3 sizes... This one is around $64. There are many to choose from if you Google in general or search for Beach House signs on Etsy!


Linen hand fan - Have one in the beach bag, a sachel, the car...  Order in four colors. $15 from The Beach People.

4ocean is a great cause, a company committed to ending the plastic crisis by cleaning up our oceans thus preserving of marine life. To raise funds, they create bracelets from recycled glass and plastic they have pulled from the ocean.  While there are several sea animals that have dedicated bracelets, I'm choosing this, The Dolphin. $20. YES.


These shell soaps on hemp rope come in several colors. All are crafted essential oils, along with Coconut Oil, Sustainable Palm Oil, Safflower Oil, and a good dose of Hemp Seed Oil. On a hemp rope. Use as a body bar or hand soap. 3 oz. per  $14 from DopeonaRopeSoap.


Great for the sailor in your life, for beach cottages, etc...

Seapoint Chandlers beautiful beeswax candles are high quality, made by a couple who live in Kittery Maine. Find lotuses, pine cones, smooth rounds, pillars and holders, but also these very special coastal treats.

Monkey Fist candles are great... the big ones are 4x4 (as shown), come in eight beautiful colors and are $32! There are also smaller knots (3x3) for $22



But also there are beautifully crafted, smooth cement sailors knot taper holders if that is your preference - a more permanent gift, only $16 for the pair.


Three of these pretty coastal sea biscuits in different colors makes a lovely gift:
Set of three color combos, four choices, for  $38.  Really nice the way they display them for use here.


Bring nature inside with these Rock/Stone candles. Sets of 3 for $33.


Driftwood jewelry holders to put on the wall bring a natural way to both display and organize necklaces, bracelets and earrings. From Curiographer on Etsy.  Choose hemp, rope or suede as hangers, then select one or several of the different sizes and uses, from $29 to $135.



This is beautiful - for the ocean lover, sailor, or surfer in your life...  A glass wave. This will bring the sea to any desk, book shelf or dresser and remind them that Mother Ocean alway waits for their  return! Height: 1.7 Inches; Width: 2.7 Inches; Depth: 1.5 Inches   $148 from Driftland. 


Sea Glass Wall clock by Coastal Whims. Get the rim in neutral, black or white and either black or white hands. Plexiglas face.  Dimensions: 10” diameter, 1.75” depth.  On sale for $22.39 by Society6.


Have them over to play bridge and keep score on these lovely sets by Caspari on Amazon for $39.


If they love beach glass, here is the most unique way I've seen in terms of jewelry. Copper is formed around each piece so there are no two rings alike. Choose your glass size and color/type and ring size and it's yours to give. $49 from NicoleCrystalDesigns. Check out her other photos of them, which show them better - I picked this photo to show you the overview, but it doesn't do them as much justice as seeing it on a hand. 


Complete picnic set in navy. Comes with 4 plates, wine glases, cloth napkins and silverwaresets, S&P, stainless wine opener, wood cutting board and thermal cooler -- a LOT for $59 from Harry and David!


I'm sure there are many places to find these but these ornaments caught my eye. And they are made from an artisan on ETSY, so you can support a cottage business to boot. Set of 3 for only $14 from SeaShellCollection!



Or go by theme - IronMaidenArt makes silver silhouettes of everything from sharks with a heart cutout, male and female scuba divers, surfers, and kayakers, all for between $12-18 an ornament. Gave you the link to all of them so you can search for what you want. 


This is a beautiful accent to any cottage or office, a blown glass octopus. Approximately 2-3/4 to 3 inches long.  $118 for this handmade beauty by Glassnfire.

I love this theme, Rock! You have great taste. I loved those shells that started the list. Then, I find out they’re madeleines! I love those cookies too. Thanks for all the fun ideas!
