How to choose summer and beach gifts
- Check the SPF type: lightweight Korean sunscreens like Relief Sun work for daily face wear; for full beach days add a water-resistant body formula and plan on reapplying every two hours.
- Pick totes by what they carry: a crochet beach tote looks great but has an open weave, so pair it with a small zip pouch to keep phones, keys, and cards sand-free.
- Size blankets for the group: a 60 by 80 inch picnic blanket seats three to four adults; anything bigger should still fold down small enough to carry with one hand.
- Match cooling gear to climate: handheld fans and mini fridges earn their keep in hot, humid regions and at festivals; skip them for cool-coast beach people.
- Consumables are duplicate-proof: scrubs, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, and cocktail mixers get used up, so they are safe picks even for someone who seems to have everything.
