Top 10 Inflatables and Beach Toys for Christmas, Summer, and Beyond

While those in the northern parts of the world endure the cold winter during this time of the year, people who live in the Southern Hemisphere are lucky to celebrate two of the most anticipated seasons on Earth… and Australians can attest to such experience! They get to enjoy Christmas and Summer all at the same time.

Because it is summer, many Aussie families prefer to celebrate Christmas Day outdoors like heading to the beach, going on a camping or picnic, meeting out with friends for a BBQ, watching a concert at the park, or visiting a theme park. There are so many fun activities you can do on a Christmas summer holiday!

After feasting on your sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner, it feels good to wake up on a sunny Christmas Day morning! How about spending it with a splash of water or the feel of sand under your feet, and enjoy the refreshing joy of Christmas in summer.

What’s great is that you can do it together with the kids! Fortunately, we have an amazing selection of inflatables for your summer escapades and mini swimming parties in your backyard, and a number of beach toys for your beach-ly excursion.
