We have compiled our favourite gift options for your nearest and dearest that love being in, on or by the big blue for this festive season. With so many joining the wild swimming and sea appreciation crew recently there are more options for sea worshippers than even but we have narrowed it down to our faves.
1. LOVE OCEAN BUBBLE BATH: Bubble Bath + Refill starter Kit £25
For the little (and big) kids amongst us that share our love of the sea this brand should be on your radar. Not only for it’s absolutely beautiful whale inspired bottle and eco friendly refill system but ALSO because they are committed to a long term ocean plastics solution. The purchase of every bottle helps to prevent at least 1kg of plastic from entering the ocean in partnership with charity Plastic Bank.
2. FINISTERRE TEGO ROBE £135
An essential piece of kit for Sea swimmers and surfers we also like to take shore side strolls and even the bins out sometimes (!) in our dry robes. There are many options out there but we love this one from one of our favourite ethical fashion brands based near us in Cornwall. It is also made from recycled nylon and fleece meaning it’s playing it’s part in lightening the load on our impact too.
3. QUECHUA : ADULT HIKING BINOCULARS £34.99
We purchased our first set of binoculars to take on coastal path walks with us a short while ago and it has significantly changed the game for us on our regular strolls. From taking a closer look at boats and surfers in the water to getting a good look at some passing wildlife these have become an essential for us. This set in particular are great as they are lightweight enough to take along on a walk but gutsy enough to use from a sea view window.
4. PERSONALISED ART PRINT: SOUTH WEST COAST PATH from £19.95
There are so many forms of sea inspired art to choose from traditional oil on canvas to photography or mixed media all depicting a favourite destination or walk. We particularly love this personalised Graphic print from WoodbirdCo on Etsy. Great to commemorate a great holiday destination or a special walk or headland.
5. GLASGOW RESIN ART: CHRISTMAS TREE BAUBLE £6.50 each
Some beautiful hand-made Christmas tree decorations we found on Etsy. These sea inspired creations are made using resin – the same material used to make surfboards. A Little piece of the seaside to hang on the tree for years to come.
