Gift Ideas for Your Pool Enthusiasts.


As we ring in the holidays, you're probably thinking of what to give that pool-owner that has everything.  We've put together a list of ideas to make shopping a little easier this year.  Here's a top-ten list of can't miss ideas!

1.       Wireless Floating Speaker - perfect for audiophiles who wants to chill out to their favorite tunes.  You can find quality items in the $100 range and most of these attach via blue-tooth to any mp3 player or other stereo equipment fitted with a blue-tooth component.
 
2.       Pool Side Basketball - This will make for hours of swimming fun next summer while giving new meaning to the term 'slam dunk'!  They range in size and can be adjusted for different heights.  Expect to spend in the $500 - $700 range for one that has a regulation sized backboard and net. 
 
3.       Water Volleyball - You'll be serving up days of summer fun when you gift the family with this!  A weather-proof net and poles can be purchased for between $350 and $500. 
 
4.       Remote Control Skimmer - Take work out of next season's pool care and put more pleasure in with a remote control skimmer.  This great gadget allows you to gather leaves, bugs, or anything along the surface of the water and operates like a remote control boat. You can find one for around $150

 
5.       Give the Gift of Pool Cleaning!  Your neighbors or friends will think they've really 'cleaned up' when you pay for their pool cleaning services for a week, month or the season!  Contact Hines Pool & Spa to make arrangements. 

 
6.       LED Pool Lighting - Adding LED pool lighting will add more life to those wonderful evening pool parties while also cutting your energy bill!  Most systems allow for multiple color changes and some even have optional programmable light shows!  Plan on spending in the $600 to $750 range. 

 
7.       Aqua Roller Pool Float - Any child that receives this gift will enjoy many hours of fun. Uses are as wide as your children's imaginations!  Prices range $50 to $100

 
8.      Luxury Floaty -  Fits two with extra room and doubles as a patio floor cushion!  Great in the pool, lake or ocean, this is the ultimate in floating relaxation!  Never needs inflation since it's filled with jillions of little foam beads.  Around $250 - $300.

 
9.       Outdoor Storage Deck Box - Adds beauty and organizes the patio and all your poor 'stuff'' from  furniture cushions, table covers, candles, cleaning supplies, pool or beach toys, and other outdoor accessories into a handy container for quick retrieval when you need them.  Ranges from $175 to $350

 
10.    Floating Cooler- Bring the fun of your favorite resorts in-pool bar to your back yard!  Many floating coolers will store up to 24 size 12 oz. cans including ice, this floating cooler includes 2 handles for easy steering and has 5 cup holders to hold your beverages. Prices range $25 to $50.

Happy Holidays, Everybody!
