Ocean-themed gifts for large budgets
#1 A trip to the ocean
One of the best gifts for people who love the ocean is a trip to the ocean!
It doesn’t even matter what activity you do, as long as you are at the ocean.
But some things you can think off include a picnic at the beach, kayaking, surfing, or sailing.
Check out Viator to find fun activities at the sea or ocean near the recipient’s home.
If you are not sure what type of activity the recipient likes, you can also go for a Viator gift card; The Global Experiences Card.
#2 Ocean-themed earrings
Are you looking for ocean-themed gifts for women?
Then you will find plenty of cool gift ideas in today’s post.
The first idea is ocean-themed earrings.
My two favorites were the shell stud earrings and the turtle stud earrings from Not on the High Street. The shell earrings are also great for people who love the beach.
For more sea gifts for women check out #8 and #19.
#3 Floating sunglasses
The floating sunglasses by Rheos are great gifts for people who love the ocean. Because if they accidentally drop their sunglasses when they’re on the ocean, the glasses will stay afloat and they can simply pick them up.
It’s perfect for people who spent a lot of time on the water such as ocean lovers, swimmers, sailors, and surfers!
#4 Monthly beach-themed box
This monthly subscription box is one of the best sea gifts for people who love the beach.
Each month, the recipient will receive a unique box filled with 5-8 handpicked beach-related items that ocean and beach lovers will adore!
You can go for subscriptions of one, three, six, or twelve months, depending on your budget.
And what’s even better about this gift is that part of the profit is donated to an ocean-focused charity organization.
#5 Coral reef jigsaw puzzle
Do you need sea gifts for people who also love jigsaw puzzles?
Then this 1000-piece puzzle of the colorful underwater world is perfect to transport them to the sea!

#6 Ocean-themed phone case
Are you looking for ocean-themed gifts for someone who is addicted to his or her phone?
Then an ocean-themed phone case is perfect!
I really loved the ocean marble phone case from Not on the High Street. But unfortunately, it’s only available for iPhones.
But there are over 47,000 different ocean-themed phone cases on Zazzle, and they also offer cases for Samsung phones. So head over to Zazzle if the recipient uses a different phone than the iPhone.
#7 Adopt a sea animal for charity
Alright before we continue, let me make this very clear.
I am suggesting adopting a symbolic sea animal here, not a real one!
So please remember, to never, ever, gift a living animal without first consulting the recipient.
Now that that’s out of the way, let me explain what this (symbolically) adopting a sea animal is all about.
Basically, you’re donating to charity.
You’re buying a package with some cute items related to the animal you’ve decided to adopt, such as a stuffed animal, a cookie-cutter, and a personalized adoption certificate. The money goes to Oceana, a charity that focuses on saving the oceans. So you’re not only making the recipient happy with this gift, but also the oceans and everything that lives there.
And that’s what makes this one of the best ocean-themed gifts for people with a sustainable heart.
Ocean-themed gifts for mid budgets
#8 Ocean-themed gifts for her: necklace
These necklaces are another example of great ocean-themed gifts for women!
There are many different options you can choose from, but I picked the two necklaces I loved the most.
The first one is the necklace in the shape of a wave, that’s available on Amazon. The second one is available on Not on the High Street and it’s a necklace with two pendants, a Larimar raw stone, and a whale tail.

This is one of the best ocean-themed gifts for women who love the smell of the ocean. If they can’t be at the ocean, at least this gift set will make them smell like the ocean!

Technically, the craft kit is advertised as a gift for children, but I just thought it was also a great ocean gift idea for adults.

Besides adopting a (symbolic) animal, this is one of the best ocean-themed gifts for eco-minded people; a tote bag.
The bag is made from recyclable material and lasts way longer than plastic bags.

Socks are one of my favorite small gifts for basically anyone. On Zazzle, you can find socks in any theme, including an ocean theme. So if you need small gifts for people who love the ocean, Zazzle is perfect.
Or go for the cute shark socks on Amazon.
#24 Ocean-themed journal
