Whether for the day, a weekend, or a week, it seems everyone’s making plans to head to the beach this summer. Prepare for your trip and shop local with these items from some of our Savage Mill businesses.
Get Your Game On
Beach trips are a great chance to reconnect with family and friends, and it’s a good idea to pack a game or two to guarantee some indoor fun! Omnihedral game store has you covered, with thousands of board and card games for all ages and interest groups. For families, tried and true favorites like Ticket to Ride transport you on adventures by train. We’re intrigued by Things in Rings, and suspense builds in the card games Bang! and Love Letter. The top-rated party game Hot Streak is guaranteed to ignite a betting, screaming frenzy. And Sanibel, the new Euro-style board game by the creator of the wildly popular Wingspan, will have you looking at seashells in a new way.

Protect Your Skin
Bright sun and saltwater take their toll on the body. The body butters and body icings in the Elora Luxe Collection at Essentially Divine will keep your skin hydrated and restored. Aloe vera gel and aloe vera cucumber skin crème from Skinsational Scents will sooth and repair sunburnt or injured skin.

Bags and Shoes
Grab a beach-themed bag at Bearing Gifts and fill it with items for your trip. The cute but comfortable flipflops will allow you to take long walks on the beach. Protect your skin with a silky sheer caftan or cute sundress. Put the sun to use with color-changing shirts and totes or a hat sporting tiny solar-powered fans!

Tame and Protect
The crab-themed sunglasses case at jules + kate makes it easy to keep track of your sunglasses. Tame your tresses with a richly-patterned scarf or headband, or try the French-made hair clip, designed to lie flat for yoga poses and sunbathing.

Record the Memories
Relax and unwind by jotting down your thoughts in a customizable wooden journal from Drama MaMa Bookshop. We hope you have a truly relaxing time away, a chance to reconnect with yourself and those you love.
