This week we are thrilled to feature a list of beach must-haves from 10 small, American companies whose innovative products deserve special mention leading up to this year's beach season! The list was compiled by Kathleen Pisano of Noblo, and we are thrilled to share it! With the wonderful long hours of daylight, sunny skies, hot weather, back yard BBQ’s, and beach vacations just around the corner, these are truly 10 sun and sand must-haves you won't want to miss:

5. Bogg Bag
Lack of beach bags that could suit a family's needs sparked the creation of the Bogg™ Bag. Needs were simple: a bag large enough to carry everything, that wouldn't fall over and spill, and that could be rinsed at the end of the day. After coming up short, the founders decided to make their own. Use at the beach, pool, gym, school, for shopping or play, the Bogg Bag comes in three great sizes and many great color options. You'll look great carrying them wherever you go! Want to make your bogg™ unique? Customize and accessorize with fun Bogg™ Bits accessories. Fun. Functional. Fashionable.
