Whether you're hitting the beach solo or with the whole gang, you'll definitely want to make sure to pack your Beachmate. This lightweight kit comes with all the essentials: shovels, buckets and a cooler, along with a tote bag and Velcro straps. You can fill it up with as much or as little as you want, and it's easy to carry and fit into any vehicle. The best part? There are multiple uses for each piece in the system and it can easily be attached to the backs of chairs (for backpack-like handling) or wrapped around your favorite umbrella. You can even customize your bag by stitching your name on it. The trip to the beach not only just got easier, it just got more fashionable too.
