For the Beach Bum

Beach days sorted: SPF 50+ sunscreens and lip balm, roll-on perfume oils, Memobottles, Joco glass cups and Sucker glass straws for the person who lives in salt water. Pair a sunscreen with a fresh scent like SALT or PULP, then add a card from our greeting cards range.

You know the one. Sandy car floor, towel permanently drying on the deck, first in the water and last out. Buying for them is easy once you stop thinking about the house and start thinking about the beach bag.

Sun first. We Are Feel Good Inc. makes the SPF 50+ sunscreens we stock, including Coconut, Sensitive, Kakadu Plum, Signature and the tinted Sticky Zinc, plus a Coconut SPF 50+ lip balm. Then scent: The Perfume Oil Company's 10ml roll-ons are alcohol-free and small enough for any bag, with fresh options like SALT, inspired by Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and PULP, inspired by Afternoon Swim. Add a Memobottle, a Joco glass cup for the coffee on the way down, glass straws from Sucker, or an Axel & Ash guided journal for the hour after a swim.

For a bigger gesture, the rattan hanging chair brings the holiday home. Otherwise, build a small bundle of two or three pieces and finish it with a card. More ideas live in our coastal collection.

Which sunscreen suits sensitive skin?
We Are Feel Good Inc. Sensitive Sunscreen SPF 50+ is fragrance-free and made for easily irritated skin, on face and body. It is water resistant for up to four hours and suitable for children from six months. Reapply after swimming or towelling off.

How is a perfume oil different from a spray?
A perfume oil contains no alcohol, so it sits closer to the skin and wears more quietly than a spray. The Perfume Oil Company's 10ml roll-ons fit in a beach bag or pocket and are easy to reapply after a swim.

What is a good small gift for a surfer?
Sticky Zinc SPF 50+ tinted sunscreen in Light or Medium, a We Are Feel Good Inc. Coconut Lip Balm SPF 50+, or a SALT perfume oil roll-on. All three fit in a board bag and will actually get used every week.

Are glass straws reusable?
Yes. Sucker's glass drinking, smoothie and cocktail straws come in transparent or multi-coloured glass and are made to be washed and used again. A thin bottle or straw brush makes cleaning the inside easy, and they suit iced coffee and smoothies.
