Best Pool Gift Basket Ideas
Pool Floats
1. Pool Lounger
This pool lounger is as simple of one as you can get. And even though they are cheaper than most, they do a good job of holding up.
My kids have jumped in the pool and landed on these things plenty of times.
2. Inflatable Tubes
These are my favorite pool tubes because they are just so fun. Crack me up every time.
Three tubes come in this pack.
3. Floating Pool Lounger (for adults)
This aqua ultimate pool float is pretty cool, guys.
It is a 2-in-1, reclined lounge chair, and then you can flip it over and it can be flat.
4. Flamingo Float
My sister has this flamingo pool float and it is huge. She has had it for multiple summers now.
The kids are just nuts over it.
Pool Toys
1. Pool Kickboard
You have to include at least 1 pool kickboard in your pool gift basket.
Everyone loves using them, even if they are just playing around.
2. Diving Toys
My kids have spent hours throwing in these diving toys and they swimming to get them.
We don't have a pool but we can take these toys with us to our local public pool.
3. Torpedo Sharks
With 3 boys in the house, these torpedo sharks are a must-have.
We are also fortunate enough to have multiple friends that have a pool.
And when we get to go to one of those pools, we bring along these sharks.
4. Mermaids Pool Toys
They are so cute and she will have the best time swimming with them.
5. Floating Basketball Hoop
Swimming around is fun but you can amp up the fun with this floating basketball hoop.
Even though my 4 kids are 12 and under, they are all able to use this game and have a blast while doing it.
6. Water Football
One of my boys got this water football for his birthday and I am thrilled with the quality of it.
It has a grip texture so you can easily catch it and dries out fast when you are done.
We love it.
7. Skip Balls
I had these skip balls when I was a kid and was so happy when I found them for my kids.
They toss these water skip balls back and forth all the time.
8. Beach Ball
Don't think that I forgot about the classic Beach Ball.
It is always a fan favorite.
Pool Accessories and Essentials
1. Floating Speaker
Now, friend, I do not have this floating speaker but I have seen it go into the raffle pool gift basket a few times.
I know I would love it.
2. Sunscreen
I love being in the sun by the pool but I hate getting sunburned.
My youngest son can’t stand to get sunscreen sprayed on his face so I found this stick sunscreen.
It goes on smoothly and has amazing coverage.
3. Beach Towels
It seems to me that there can never be enough beach towels.
I love the oversized ones best. They are made for everyone and make the best towels to lounge around on.
4. Swimming Goggles
Goggles are essential when it comes to the pool. They are perfect for swimming and for all those diving toys I talked about before.
We have a few different brands of goggles and they are all fairly good for just swimming around, but we like these the best.
5. Swim Shoes
Some people love to wear swim shoes no matter where they are swimming - the pool, beach, or in a river.
We have these 2 kinds of swim shoes for our kids for when we swim in the river - Little Kid Swim Shoes and Bid Kid/Adult Swim Shoes.
6. Sunglasses
I know that everyone has their own style when it comes to sunglasses but I highly recommend throwing some in this gift basket anyway.
We keep these sunglasses in our boat for guests and they work great.
I like that they are cheap too!
7. Snacks
My kids are always hungry when we go swimming so I would assume the same is for every other family with kids too!
That is why I include a snack pack in pool gift baskets.
8. Pool Bag
Girl, I have this bag to use as a pool/beach bag and it is dynamite!
Since I have 4 kids, I needed a bag big enough to hold all our stuff. This is it.
My 10-year-old son hopped in it and we could almost zip it shut, haha!
9. Cooler
It is big enough to hold enough food and drinks for a day in the sun for a family of 6.
And I love that it is collapsible for storage.
We use it all the time, all year round.
10. Water Bottle
And finally, you need to hydrate when you swim. Toss in a nice water bottle or 2, depending on how generous you feel.
This is my go-to water bottle. It comes in so many colors and has no problem keeping my water cold even on the hottest days.
This post was all about the best pool gift basket ideas.
