20 Gifts For A Beach Hut Fan in 2016

With many of us taking advantage of Black Friday sales, it’s clear that we’re now on the very quick countdown towards Christmas.    The summer is starting to feel like a distant memory. But for those of us who are beach hut addicts, our love of them doesn’t end with summer. But what on earth do you buy a beach hut fan at Christmas, when the shops have ditched their coastal collections in favour of festivities.  Don’t worry. I have 20 of the best gifts for a beach hut fan to make your job a little easier!

I’ve hunted high and low for those gifts that scream ‘beach’ and having renovated three beach huts this year, have had lots of practice shopping the ‘beach hut’ theme.   As with the 2015 edition, It’s been a great excuse to combine my love of Christmas and Beach Huts into the below gift guide.

Now if you are hoping to receive one of these gifts yourself, please please don’t leave it to ‘hinting’. We all know that those hints don’t always work so why not share the post with that ‘forgetful’ other half who is planning his Christmas Eve shopping dash.  Actually go ahead and tag him on every social media site possible with the link and leave your browser open on this page.  They do need all the help they can get!

#3  Retro Basket – Sunjellies

It just wouldn’t be a beach hut fan gift guide without including Sun Jellies. I’m still a huge fan of the retro basket. Perfect for packing all that you need for a day at the beach. Or great for storing items at home.  With £5 and £10 options, the only question is what colour will you choose?

It seems it was meant to be as if you have a nosy around Suzanne’s shop, you’ll spot some familiar shapes in her products!   I love her beach huts mug.
