If one of your friends or family members loves being in the water, treat her to a gift that celebrates her hobby. Swimwear-inspired gifts are not only thoughtful, but they'll be useful to the recipient as well.
No matter if the celebrant is a beginner or avid swimmer, you'll have no problem finding the perfect present for her. There are swimming-related gifts to cater to every price range as well, whether you're on a tight budget or have plenty to spend.
Swimming-inspired gifts are ideal for almost any special event or occasion, including birthday bashes, holiday parties, and even bridal showers. If you know your friend or loved one will be vacationing or moving to a warm destination after completing college, swimwear may be the perfect gift.
Depending on your gift-giving budget, you can just treat the recipient to one high-quality gift, such as a piece of sun-protective swimwear, or a gift basket filled with several complementary items. The good news is that you don't have to spend a lot of money to find pieces that will cater to her favorite sport.
Here are some swimming-inspired gifts to consider:
1. Swimwear
One thing that both novice and avid swimmers can never have too much of is swimwear. Options include a modest one-piece swimsuit, or a two-piece one such as a bikini or a tankini. Tankinis resemble one-pieces in that they cover the midriff, but they are two-piece garments featuring tank-style tops. They're the perfect choice for swimmers who love both one- and two-piece suits.
When looking or the perfect piece, consider getting sun-protective swimwear, especially if the gift recipient lives in a warm, sunny climate. This convenient type of swimwear typically features lightweight, breathable fabric that is quick to dry, comfortable and flattering 4-way stretch, and the inclusion of titanium dioxide for built-in sun protection.
Some higher-quality pieces may also be chlorine- and saltwater-resistant, making them more durable and longer-lasting than their traditional counterparts. Pick swimwear that reflects the recipient's personal style, such as a feminine floral print or sassy leopard print pattern.
2. Beach Towel
Another item that swimmers will need an abundance of are beach towels. Look for ones made of a long-lasting, fast-drying fabric that is chlorine-resistant. Pick a towel featuring the gift recipient's favorite color, such as beachy turquoise blue or banana yellow, or go a step further by having it personalized with her first name or monogram.
