* With the plethora of choices in both blankets and towel selection (especially by online retailers). How do you know what your choosing when it comes to needing a beach blanket for a gift? Consider where, who, what and when and you’ll have the answer this question.
* Give it all with a Beach Blanket – The difference between a beach towel and a bath towel can be observed in the quality of fabric, design and especially the size as beach towels usually larger than a regular bath towel. However, the largest of them all is what we call a beach blanket. With a beach blanket, you will be amazed at the variety of uses beyond a beach towel. These make a perfect gift for any occasion and are invaluable at the beach. So for your indoor uses and outdoor trips, you can have it all with a beach blanket.
* Beach blankets measure at least 70 x 70 inches or larger making it possible for the beach blanket to double as a cover spread for queen sized beds or even as a mattress covering if needed. They are also ideal as a cover spread on your deck or patio where you can play board games and cards during weekends with your family and friends. It has additional functionality as an outside spread on the ground where you may use this as a ground-covering to sit with small children or enjoy a picnic in the park.
* A beach blanket is the newest addition to your basic beach essentials. With multi-functional features, there is so much you can do with a beach blanket versus your personal beach towel. Some beach blankets have corner “pockets” which may be weighted with sand or small stones; others have grommets to be used with a beach stakes. The corner pockets are ideal for storing your other beach essentials like suntan lotions, discs, diapers, personal items. It can also be use as an overhead cover during noon when the heat of the sun is at its peak. You can tie rope or twine along the four edges and brace it upon a tree or a post for shelter from sun or wind.
* Beach blankets are available made from a variety of materials, suitable for any number of activities. Absorbent cotton, repellant nylon, parachute nylon and even the lighter weight marine-grade canvas beach blankets can be found. Ideal sizes are 70″ X 70″ and larger depending on your need (and how many may need a seat!) It’s a good idea to have several for all the places you “never thought you would need one”! The trunk of the car or back of the SUV, boat cabin, camper, backpack, stroller and beach bag are all ideal, just to name a few. These are machine washable, with the heavier blankets requiring a commercial washer. Consider a beach blanket as a perfect anytime gift for anyone on your list and for every occasion where you want a little more coverage!
