13 Wedding Gifts Perfect for the Couple Who Loves the Beach

One of the most important questions to ask yourself (and your partner!) when you first begin to create your wedding registry is "What realistically fits into our lifestyle?" Why? Because it's so important to choose gifts that you'll actually use in daily life. For instance, if you have a teeny studio apartment, you don't want to register for a large dining room table that'll quickly eat up all of your square footage. Sure, it could come in handy one day, but you can always buy those pieces in the when you move into your first home. If you've entertained maybe once in the past five years, don't fill your registry with serving pieces—instead, ask for a few staples that you'll use now and in the future, then add to your collection as you need to.

Aside from the basics (like towels, new plates, and a better vacuum, just to name a few) think about what you and your partner can actually use right now. One way to do that is to consider what you love to do on the weekends together and then choose gifts that you'll get a ton of mileage out of. If you're beach bunnies who spend pretty much every weekend near the ocean (whether or not it's weather-appropriate!), make sure to round out your wedding registry with a few gifts that'll make your favorite hobby a little more fun.

Although "beach" may not seem like a traditional registry category, there are a ton of products you can register for that will up your beach (or lake) game tenfold. Constantly getting sunburnt despite repeated sunscreen applications? Register for a sturdy umbrella or beach tent. Are your towels threadbare and sun-bleached? Treat yourself to some extra-large, fluffy new beach towels. To help you enjoy your next beach trip that much more, we've picked some of our favorite products that will make your next getaway a little more luxe, convenient, and stylish. Just pack up your beach reading, a few cold drinks, a hat, and you're ready to go.
