Those with August birthdays are true beach babies. After all, they were born during one of the hottest months of the year! Even their birthstone, the peridot—known as the sunniest gem on earth—reminds us of sea glass buried along the shoreline. So, if you’re on a treasure hunt for the perfect birthday gift for a loved one with an August birthday, give them a piece of the ocean with these beach-themed August birthday gift ideas, inspired by the luminous peridot!

About the August Birthstone: Peridot

August Birthstone Bottle Necklace

The ancient Egyptians were on to something when they called the radiant green peridot the “gem of the sun.” Amazingly, this precious stone can be found not only in lava rocks, but also in meteorites, making it both a celestial and oceanic beauty. Throughout history, the mysterious jewel has been associated with supernatural characteristics, such as the ability to chase away bad dreams and evil spirits. As a result, peridot was used to accent church shrines and priests’ jewelry in medieval Europe. Those who claim this out-of-this-world birthstone as there own are said to be blessed with abundant riches, great fortune and a future as bright as the August sun!

Beach-Themed August Birthstone Gift Ideas

Margarita Bouquet

Nothing is more romantic than filling a bottle with a sentimental note and sending it out to sea. For a birthday that she won’t forget, take your special lady for a sunset stroll on the beach and surprise her with this August Birthstone Bottle Necklace. Once you place the beautiful vintage pendant around her neck and show her the sweet birthday note inside the bottle, tell her to write her own dreams down on a piece of paper and place it inside. When the message in a bottle is ready, throw it into the ocean. Soon all her birthday wishes will come true!

The best part of a relaxing birthday on the shore? Sinking into a big, comfy lounge chair with an ice-cold drink, of course! The Margarita Bouquet has all the ingredients the birthday girl needs for a day of fun in the sun. This floral cocktail comes with cheery carnations, spider mums, poms and hypericum in the bright green color of the peridot. And once the flowers are removed, your beach bunny can fill the reusable margarita glass with her favorite tropical drink.

Why take her to a stuffy indoor restaurant when you could enjoy a breezy birthday dinner on the beach? With the Ultimate Wine Picnic Backpack, which comes in a fun green peridot color, you can pack all the essentials you need to enjoy an elegant picnic in the fresh, salty air. That’s better than any swanky restaurant! It comes packed with enough partyware for four, including spoons, forks, knives, wine glasses, plates and cloth napkins. It even comes with a detachable bottle cooler bag for your wine, so you’re all set to make a seaside toast to the one you love most.
