Christmas in Australia is peak summer, which makes it the ideal time to give gifts that actually get used. No re-gifting, no gathering dust on a shelf. If the person you're buying for has a pool, a beach nearby, or a summer holiday planned, here's a practical gift guide from a brand that lives in that world.
Under $30: Accessories and Stocking Stuffers
Everyone's got a pool-lover on their list. The easiest wins are the small accessories they'll actually use but never buy for themselves.
ACQUABOSS accessories in this range:
- Inflatable Drink Holder - $19.95 | The original pool party essential. It floats your drink while you float. Packs flat, fits in any bag, and is the most-gifted ACQUABOSS item for a reason. Perfect Secret Santa pick.
- Waterproof Phone Sleeve - $19.95 | A waterproof pouch that clips onto any water hammock or beach bag. Great standalone stocking stuffer for the person who's always worried about their phone at the pool.
-
Phone Sun Umbrella - $19.95 | A tiny umbrella that clips onto your phone to block screen glare - genuinely useful, completely unexpected, great for the person who has everything.
Water Resistant Speakers - $19.95 | Compact poolside speaker. Not just novelty - this one holds up to splashes. - Chill Pill Pillow - $29.95 | An inflatable float-pillow hybrid. Use it as a headrest on the beach, a neck support in the water, or float it solo. One of those weird-but-genius gifts.
- Replacement Inflatable Insert (Head or Feet) - $9.95 | For the person who already has a water hammock and needs a top-up. Best add-on gift or stocking filler if you know they're already a ACQUABOSS fan.
Secret Santa Tip: The Inflatable Drink Holder or Waterproof Phone Sleeve at $19.95 are the perfect Secret Santa pick - useful, on-brand, packaged well, and won't raise eyebrows at any budget.
Under $50: The Activity Tier
This is the sweet spot for someone who already has the basics - they have a towel, they have a float - but they're missing the things that make a pool or beach day more fun. These are the gifts that spark a plan for the weekend.
-
Beach Sunset Paddle Set - $39.95 | Two high-performance beach paddles in one set - everything included, nothing to add. Works on the sand, at the park, or by the pool. It's an active gift that works for couples, friends, siblings, or anyone who does anything outdoors. The ACQUABOSS paddles are built for durability, not just decoration, so they'll actually get used past Boxing Day. Great for teenagers, great for adults who were teenagers recently.
-
Extra Large Drift Ring - $49.95 | A 1.2-metre PVC drift ring - proper oversized, not toy-shop size. Designed for actually lounging in a pool, not just sitting on the edge of one. It's a different experience from a hammock - you sit upright, legs through the centre, drink in hand. Good for the person who prefers to float and observe rather than lie flat. Packs down neatly, durable PVC construction.
- Electric Air Pump (240V / 12V Portable) - $49.95 | This one sounds practical, but it's a genuinely well-received gift for anyone who owns ACQUABOSS products or inflatable pool gear in general. Inflating a water hammock or pool lounger by mouth or with a hand pump is a real chore - this eliminates it. Works at home (240V) and in the car (12V). The gift equivalent of giving someone their time back every time they go to the pool.
Gift tip for this tier: The Paddle Set at $39.95 is the most giftable in this range - it's visual, it's fun, it's something people open and immediately want to go use. Pair it with the Drink Holder from the Under $30 section for a complete $60 beach activity bundle.
Under $70: Beach Towels
A quality beach towel is one of the best practical gifts - especially one with features like an inflatable pillow pouch and hidden zip pocket that a person is unlikely to buy for themselves. It's something that gets used all summer rather than once.
The ACQUABAY Luxe Beach Towel ($69.95) is exactly this kind of gift.
It's not just a towel - it's a proper setup. At 90cm x 180cm, it's genuinely oversized. The built-in removable inflatable pillow means you arrive at the beach ready to lie down properly, not roll up a jumper as a headrest. The hidden zip pocket keeps keys, cash, and a phone out of the sand and out of sight.
It comes in stripe colourways including Black & White, Pink & White, and Blue & White (Coral Reef) - all clean, summery, and easy to pair with any beach bag or towel setup.
This is the towel people see and say "where did you get that?"
Why it makes a great gift: Most people use their old, worn-out towel far longer than they should. This is the upgrade they've been putting off for themselves - which makes it an easy win to give. It's premium, it has visible features to explain at the checkout counter, and it arrives looking like something worth receiving.
Under $100: A Float They'll Actually Use
A water hammock is the kind of gift that gets used every pool day and holiday for years. It's something people want but rarely buy for themselves because there's always something else on the list.
The ACQUABOSS Water Hammock - $59.95 - is the brand's original bestseller and the most reviewed product in the range. Over 400 verified customer reviews. It's been taken to Fiji, to Queensland resorts, to backyard pools across Australia. It's been gifted for birthdays, for Christmas, for baby showers (for the mum, not the baby).
Here's what makes it different from a generic pool float: it includes a built-in drink holder and an attachable waterproof phone sleeve - both included in the box. The person receiving it doesn't need to buy accessories to use it. They inflate it, clip on the phone sleeve, drop their drink in the holder, and they're done. It weighs just 1kg and packs down to about the size of a lunch box.
For Couples: The Double Hammock, Tanning Bed & Double Lounger
Buying for a couple with a pool? A single float is fine. A double is thoughtful.
Double Water Hammock - $79.95
Two people, one float, no arguments. The Double Water Hammock is the same UV-protected, mould-resistant mesh as the single - just wider. It comes in Double Pink Candy, Double Mint Green, and Double Blue Bayou. It's the rare couples gift that actually gets used.
Double Tanning Sunbed / Pool Lounger - $99.95
For couples who want to lie side by side - on the water, not in it. The Double Tanning Sunbed gives both people full-length support, and at $99.95 it's still under the $100 mark. It's a step up in size and comfort from the hammock, and the perfect gift for a couple who has a pool but hasn't levelled up their setup yet.
Luxe Double Lounger Bed - $399.00
If you're going premium, the Luxe Double Lounger Bed is the full upgrade - a proper poolside double lounger designed for long days in the sun. It's a significant gift for a significant person.
The Full Summer Kit
This is the one gift that covers everything. The person receiving it has a towel to lie on, a beach bag to carry everything, a float to spend the afternoon in the water, music to set the mood (portable speaker water resistant), and paddles for when floating stops being enough. It's the complete beach and pool day setup - and it all comes from one brand, so it arrives looking cohesive.
This is the highest-conversion gift in this guide. If you're buying for someone who loves the water and you want to get it right, this is it.
Packaging and Gifting
ACQUABOSS products are packaged to present well - compact, clean, and ready to give. The water hammock arrives in its own carry bag, and the Luxe Towel rolls up neatly. Nothing arrives in a plain poly bag.
Gift Vouchers: If you're not sure on colour or size, ACQUABOSS offers e-Gift Cards from $100.00 - delivered by email, redeemable on the full range.
