Foldable Pail Buckets
Kristy Pepping: My daughter and I were looking for beach buckets we could pack for an upcoming vacation. We came across these cool beach pails. The interesting part is they are collapsible and fold completely flat! So they are perfect to stick in a suitcase or in an already overloaded pool bag. These buckets come in a set of three colorful silicone options that are dishwasher safe. The buckets hold half a gallon of water and each has a handle.
Bogg Bag
Kelly R.: A Bogg Bag is the perfect companion for a trip to the beach, the pool, or anywhere else that requires a load of stuff. The bags are made from a durable and sturdy material that is easy to rinse off, and the design allows it to sit upright without tipping. The original size is big enough to fit everything from sand toys to beach towels, and includes smaller interior pouches that keep small stuff like phones and cash separate and dry.
