Summer Birthday Gifts

Summer is a great time of year to have a birthday. Not only due to the wonderful, enjoyable weather, but summer birthdays also open up many doors to amazing gift possibilities. For example, a beach or gardening birthday gift would not be practical to give to a friend whose birthday falls in January, when they would not get much use out of it for a few months. Similarly, giving a pair of ski boots to a summer birthday would not be the best option.

If you have a friend or family member with a birthday that falls between the summer months, consider some of the fabulous birthday gifts that are detailed below.

For Kids

If your child has a birthday during the summer months, consider getting them a gift that they can play with for hours. Your children and all of their friends will get great use out of the Jump O Lene Inflatable Bouncer.

Most children love jumping on trampoline's, which can cost hundreds of dollars, and can sometimes be very dangerous. An inflatable bouncer is a smaller and safer version of the trampoline, which enables hours of high energy fun for your backyard or playroom. Simply deflate the bouncer if you need more room, or want to take it with you to a summer barbeque!

All children like to splash around in a pool during the summer months. Unfortunately, large pools can not only be expensive, but extremely time consuming as well. Solve this problem by getting your child a Family Swim Center. This two hundred gallon durable pool is perfect for the entire family to cool off in on a hot summer day. This pool can be emptied and deflated easily to keep children and trespassers from coming into your yard.

The portable recliner is a great seat suitable for any surface. The convenient shoulder strap allows this recliner to be easily carried from the playroom, to the backyard, to the beach, and wherever else you may go during the beautiful summer months. Your kids can recline in six different positions in this sturdy, water repellant, polyester chair. This gift is perfect for kids, women, and men!

For Women

For the women who do not like to burn from the blistering summer sun, consider investing in Portable Shade in a Bag. The free standing umbrella will help to keep them completely cool on super hot days, while the tripod stand makes it easy to bring anywhere from sporting events to picnics. The conveniently included carrying bag and shoulder strap makes it a bargain you just cannot refuse.

If your friend or family member has a pool, consider getting them a portable outdoor shower for their birthday this summer. The convenient outdoor shower will allow everyone to wash the chlorine, sand, and salt off of their bodies before entering the house. Simply connect the outdoor shower to any standard garden hose for a quick rinse outside!

For Men

Most men like to play bartender for their friends and family at their summer barbeques. If this is the case for the birthday boy you know, consider getting him a pool bar for his next summer extravaganza. None of the guests will ever need to get out of the pool with this inflatable tube that has sections built in for drinks, chips, ice and more. The set comes complete with a floating chair for the bartender as well.

For the man who likes to keep his grill sparkling clean all of the time, invest in a Grill Daddy for his next birthday present. The Grill Daddy is a revolutionary cleaning tool that cleans grease and grime from grills, without using any harsh chemicals. A powerful jet of water will work to remove stains from caked on food with little to no effort.

A foldaway hammock is a great gift for the birthday boy who likes to take naps under the warm sun. The best part about the foldaway hammock is that it can easily set up anywhere you go from the beach, to the park, to the baseball field. The carrying sack with shoulder strap makes it even easier to tote this hammock with you on all of your summer excursions.

For The Gardener

Topsy Turvey Planters are fun and useful birthday presents that are perfect for the gardener who does not have any more room left to plant! Simply hang this planter on a balcony, deck, or patio, and water, feed, trim, and harvest your plant without ever bending over. Plant anything from strawberries, to tomatoes, and peppers in these convenient planters.

During the gardening season, a good gardener will spray pest repellents and fertilizers often to keep their lawn fresh and healthy. To ease their trouble, consider getting someone you know a battery powered sprayer to replace the tired hand-pump sprayers that they are currently using. This great sprayer features a gallon tank, an adjustable pressure nozzle, a carry handle and a shoulder strap for easy transport!

Stair Step Flower Boxes can perfectly adorn the front steps of any home. Surprise that birthday boy or birthday girl that you know by filling these white or terra cotta boxes with beautiful, summer themed flowers.
