I know summer is nearly over but I thought I would share some of my favourites from The Beach Factory, just in case you feel like taking a trip to sunnier climates in the future.

Poppy Family UV Tent

Featured in the Daily Mail last week, this is the latest addition to the range of UV tents from Snuggle Sac. Not only is this good for the beach but you can also use it in the garden. My daughter loves to play in her tent in the garden, with all her dolls and blankets. This tent offers you the highest rating possible of UPF 50+ and is easy to assemble, is light and portable, and comes with its own carrybag. Price £31.95.

Choc Ice Beach Bag

This beach bag comes from The Old Bag Company (who we have previously featured on Budget Bambino Goodies). This looks good, is value for money, and has plenty of space for all your beach essentials. The bag is made from heavy duty canvas and has a waterproof lining. There are loads of pockets for storing your gear, it has an easy and secure fastening system, and is machine washable. Price is £27.95.

Cool fern Insulated Picnic Set

This attractive looking picnic bag with its fern leaf print on the outside of the bag has long handles for ease of carrying over your shoulder, a wipe clean removable insulated inner lining to help keep the food cool, and also includes a 4 place setting with the fern design. If you were looking for an eco-friendly version of this picnic hamper then check out our new sister site The Green Familia where we have highlighted one you may like.) Price is £29.95.
