Salt Gypsy Longboard - The Dusty
The quickest way to a surfer girls heart is to gift her a surfboard. It's the ultimate present and we think the Salt Gypsy 'Dusty' longboard is a pretty decent offering. Check out the board's stats and we are sure you will agree that this board would be an epic present:
Size Options: 8'0 | 8'6 | 9'0
The Dusty is by no means a performance Longboard, this board is about getting onto waves really early, setting the line, and then feeling the trim as you cruise down the line.
Optimum conditions are small to medium size waves, and it will really feel at home on a long point wave.
The Dusty is a lightweight, retro style longboard that is easy to maneuverer. There’s some nose concave up front for the more experienced ladies chasing some hang five time. Not to mention the swoon worthy colour palettes available in each board category.
Available from £550

Beach Rinse - Seaglass Mini Soaps
It wouldn't be Christmas without receiving some toiletries. However these are a definite step up from your Great Aunt Maud's lavender hand cream. These hair, body & bath products make you feel fresh out the ocean. Designed by Arica, a mom of 4, born and raised in San Diego, and now living at the foot of the mountains in Utah. She made Beach Rinse to recreate that feeling the ocean gives you on your skin, and what it does for hair turned into a total bonus!
Beach Rinse is a soak, scrub, and rinse for your hair, body, and bath. It's made using only 100% natural and organic ingredients.
It's a combo of the very things we love about the ocean.. salt, kelp, and oils.
Alongside her Beach Rinse range we fell in love with her Tropical Mandarin & Almond Mini Soaps.
A perfect Christmas gift for beachcombers. They are sea glass, mini soaps. The cutest soaps resembling seaglass found on the beach! Each batch is made with all-natural ingredients, handmade and they smell like paradise too.
Grab a shell dish, and stash a little pile next to your sink.
$16.50 for their small jar of the sea glass soaps. Go browse their seaglass soaps and other ocean ranges here: Beach Rinse
