Bev
Bev canned wine started their company with the idea of eliminating the glass bottle. Most beaches and pools don’t allow you to have glass bottles, so wine has always been off-limits when it comes to pool parties. Bev is working on changing that idea. With Bev’s cans, you can bring wine to any outing without having to worry about bottle restrictions.
Bev wines are also completely sugar-free, and the company is founded by women. Their values include vulnerability, candor, accountability, kindness, and passion. By choosing to drink wine created by this company, you’re sharing those values. You can get Bev canned wine in the following varietals:
- Rose
- Blanc
- Gris
- Noir
- Glitz (sparkling white wine)
- Glam (sparkling rose wine)
You can also get variety packs, the most popular being their “Girl’s Night” pack, which comes with blanc, rose, and gris. Variety packs come in 24 or 48, ranging from $79 to $190 depending on whether or not you’re about of their Bev club.
Bev’s wines are special, as they feature no sugar, only 3g of carbs, and no GMOs. They’re also only 106 calories per can. 4 cans amount to approximately 1.3 bottles, meaning that each can is approximately two glasses of wine.

Sharkbanz
If you’re a surfer, you need Sharkbanz. Sharkbanz is made to keep sharks away when you’re swimming or surfing in the ocean. The product was made to reduce the fear surfers feel when out in murky water. They no longer have to worry about what lurks below the surface. Sharkbanz was founded by Nathan Garrison and his father, David Garrison, who craved a solution for their surfing struggles. They were sick of swimming helplessly next to huge 10 foot Sand Tiger Sharks, hoping they wouldn’t be the victim of an attack.
Their mission was to reduce the risk of a shark bite in surfers and swimmers, while also promoting marine conservation. With their product, Sharkbanz, they were able to do just that.
Sharkbanz works by sending out a strong electromagnetic field. When sharks encounter this field, they experience a sensation that is a thousand times greater than a signal that could be produced by any typical shark prey. This signal deters the sharks, keeping them from approaching the swimmer or surfer.
Sand Cloud
Now that you’re safe from sharks, you’ll need somewhere to relax once you get back to the beach. With Sand Cloud, you’ll have the perfect place to lay down. On their sand-free beach towel, you’ll experience sand-free comfort at all times. Not only are their towels sand-free, but they also dry quickly, meaning if you choose to go swimming multiple times, you’ll have a dry towel each and every time you’re looking to dry off. Their towels are also soft and comfortable, so you’ll feel cozy and comfortable when wrapped up in one.
They beat out all different types of towels, in more ways than one. So, if you’re looking for the ultimate towel to bring with you to the beach this year, Sand Cloud is the way to go.
