33 Products You Need For The Beach
A Shibumi windblown shade that'll keep you protected from the sun's scorching rays. Plus it packs down into a super small and convenient case so you can easily pack and carry it. Neutrogena Beach Defense Water Resistant Sunscreen to help prevent sunburn with 70 SPF. It's also water-resistant for up to 80 minutes so you can enjoy much more time jumping in the waves. Or Black Girl Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30 designed with dark skin in mind but fitting for all skin tones, because why should you have to deal with a sunscreen that is drying and leaves a white cast on your skin? Not only will it protect you from the sun, but it'll help keep you moisturized so you can just skip that step when you're getting ready for the day. And a Sun Bum scalp and hair mist because who hasn't gone to the beach and come back with a burnt scalp because they never think to put sunscreen on it?! And it's vegan and reef safe so you can feel good about keeping the ocean clean. A customized beach cup and phone holder so you don't have to stick your water bottle into the sand and end up with a new ~texturized~ cup. Plus the little phone holder will let you keep it close to easily catch all those gram-worthy moments. A reclining, adjustable Ostrich chaise lounge to put all other beach chairs to shame. Now you can actually lay on your stomach for more than like five minutes with the ultra comfortable and convenient face hole. Or a more traditional beach chair that sits low to the ground so you can feel the sand between your toes or the waves crashing on your legs. It also has a cupholder so your refreshing beverage is never too far away. A set of sunscreen reminder stickers made with SPF recognition that will change colors to let you know when it's time to lather up with more lotion. The stickers are water-resistant *and* work for up to 12 hours so you can have a full day of fun in the sun without worrying about frying. A portable lock box that can easily secure to beach chairs or tables so you can stash your phone and wallet while you go jump in the waves. Now, you can enjoy beach time as a family instead of having to leave someone at the chairs to guard your stuff. An inflatable lounger to absolutely upgrade sunbathing into a luxurious experience fit for royalty. Lay down flat and grab some shut eye, or sit on it like a couch with your friends while you debrief from the day. A waterproof Bluetooth speaker that you can plop in the sand next to your beach chair to set the most perfect vibes with all those top beachy hits. Yeah, go ahead and cue up some Jimmy Buffett. A set of beach towel clips to solve one of the most annoying beach problems — your towel flying off your chair with every gust of wind. A pair of quick-dry water shoes perfect for protecting your feet during the adventure excursion you've had planned for months. Now you can protect your feet from burning hot sand, debris filling your shoes, and sliding around on slippery wet rocks. A pack of ingenious collapsible pails that will get you out of the vicious cycle of having to buy a bunch of sand toys when you get to the beach only to leave them there because you have no room in your car (and then do it all again for your next beach trip). And a set of beach toys so you can create a castle that's so marvelous, Ed Sheeran might write a song about it. Annnddd an extra large mesh bag to store them in that'll also drain them so you don't take soggy and sandy toys into your hotel and have them become all mildewy. A bikini top that'll feel like you found the treasure ~chest~ at the end of a long search for bathing suits with actual support for people with bigger boobs. With this you can swim, jump in the waves, or chase your doggo or kiddo without worrying about accidentally flashing anyone. A pet bandana because they deserve to have something cool and refreshing on a hot summer's day! This is especially great for longer-hair breeds or ones that have a harder time cooling themselves down in the heat. A tube of Burt's Bees After Sun soother if you didn't apply sunscreen quite as often as you probably should've… Put this on and it can help soothe you from the pain, itching, and heat. Warning, your partner might sing "burn baby burn 🎶" while applying it on your back. Or some aloe gel formulated to be gentle enough to apply to the burns on your face. The aloe vera and Hawaiian noni can soothe the pain and hydrate your skin while helping it appear less red, so people don't realize you fell asleep on the beach and forget to reapply your sunscreen. 😖🥵 A Slammo game set if you're not a lay-on-the-beach-and-do-nothing-all-day kind of person. This volleyball-like game will keep the whole beach crew active. Let the games begin! Or this cornhole game to make a whole games tournament. PSA if you wanna win, grab your Ohioan friend, they've been playing this basically since the day they were born. A utility wagon because let's not fool ourselves, a day at the beach means you're gonna have a lot of stuff and there's nothing worse than trying to lug it all down. This wagon will be your greatest investment when you see how easily it glides over sand *and* folds up to put in your car when you're done. A sand brush so the fun day you had at the beach can stay at the beach. This brush will easily get all the sand off your body, shoes, and toys before getting in the car. Or a sand removal bag filled with a talc-free and reef-friendly powder that'll help remove the sand that sticks to every inch of your little one (and you). Keep this on hand for the beach or even for after an afternoon of playing in the sandbox at your local park. A waterproof pouch designed to not only protect your phone but to also make sure you can still *actually* use it. Now you can prove you saw a giant turtle instead of just hoping people will believe you. A rechargeable handheld fan to whip out for a cool and refreshing breeze every time you start to feel like you're literally ~baking~ in the sun. A sun visor designed to keep its shape, no matter how smushed it gets in your overstuffed luggage. Get ready for some fun in the sun while keeping your face and head cool in the shade. 😎☀️ A five-compartment snack spinner perfect for tossing in your bag before heading down to the beach. The compartments are all completely separate (so no food touches anything else). Add in watermelon and celery for some extra hydration after a long day of playing in the sun. A leakproof, portable pet water bottle that allows you to easily carry water and give it to your furry friend without making a huge mess (or trying to use your hand as a makeshift bowl — yeah, we've all been there). Just push a button and water will flow into the bowl area, and when your pup is done drinking, push that same button and the extra water will go back in the bottle to help eliminate waste! A quick-drying microfiber beach towel, which is somehow XL but still folds down to be compact for easy travel. And it's designed to be sandproof, so you don't have to worry about bringing home that unwanted, gritty souvenir. Aerothotic flip-flops perfect for long walks on the beach when you need a little extra support and don't wanna do the OOF AH EEK hopscotch across the sand that feels like literal fire. The arch support, soft straps, cushioned insoles, and sweat-resistant footbed are ready to tackle even your longest beach walk yet. A portable vacuum great for sucking up all sand everyone tracks into your car. This plugs right into the cigarette lighter so you can clean on the go. And don't even worry; the cord is ~long~, so you'll be able to reach all parts (even the trunk where those beach toys left behind a full bucket's worth of sand).

SEALSQ Announces FY 2024 Audited Financial Results and Strategic Growth Plan for 2025
Geneva, Switzerland, March 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ends the year with a strong cash position of approximately $85 million FY 2024 $11 million revenue reflects the industry-wide transition from traditional semiconductors to next-generation Quantum Resistant chips Expects a return to growth in FY 2025 Continues R&D investments with $7.2 million allocated in 2025, up from $5 million in 2024 Confirmed bookings of $6.8 million as of March 20, 2025, reflecting strong YoY growth $93 million in projected contract pipeline over next three years from 2026 to 2028 Executing a multi-faceted organic growth, investment and acquisition strategy SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced its full year results for the period ending December 31, 2024 (FY 2024). CEO'S STATEMENT AND VISION FOR 2025 Carlos Moreira, CEO of SEALSQ noted, '2024 was a transformational year for SEALSQ as we scaled post-quantum security technologies, started the process to execute strategic acquisitions, raised over $80 million in funding, and expanded into high-growth markets. With a strong cash position, no bank debt or convertible loans, and accelerating demand for our post-quantum and quantum cybersecurity solutions, we are well-positioned to drive sustainable long-term growth and technological leadership in the quantum era.' FY 2025 OUTLOOK Although it is still early in the year to provide a definitive outlook due to major projects under discussion (as discussed below), SEALSQ anticipates a significant revenue increase in 2025 compared to 2024. This growth is expected to be driven by the integration of chip revenue from new sources, an expansion in chip personalization services and the consolidated revenue from our planned investments. We expect the full impact of our growth to arrive in 2026 with the commercial launch of our new products scheduled for Q4 2025. We anticipate that the growth in 2025 and beyond would be fueled by: The increasing demand for Post-Quantum Trusted Platform Modules (TPMs). Successfully securing new large-scale contracts with governments and enterprises adopting post-quantum cryptographic solutions. Growth in SEALSQ's cybersecurity certificate and managed PKI services Consolidated revenue from strategic acquisitions. The post-quantum cryptography (PQC) market, driven by the need for securing systems against quantum computer attacks, is projected to grow significantly, with an estimated market size of $302.5 million in 2024, expected to reach $1.887 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 44.2%. Due to high entry barriers, we believe very few players will have the required expertise and IP to build quantum resistant secure chips, which will position SEALSQ as a leading player in this space, especially on the TPM segment. We believe that these factors position SEALSQ to strengthen its market leadership and capitalize on emerging opportunities in post-quantum security. FY 2024 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 1. Strengthened Financial Position and Debt-Free Balance Sheet Cash reserves that peaked at over $90 million as of January 6, 2025, up from $85 million at the end of 2024, providing a solid foundation for investments, acquisitions, and scaling production. A clean balance sheet at December 31, 2024 showing no bank debt or convertible loans, along with no overhanging warrants following the elimination of convertible debt and associated warrants in late 2024 and the first days of 2025. This significantly enhanced SEALSQ's ability to fund growth without dilution risks. Over $80 million capital raised during 2024, leading to strengthened capital resources to support our expansion into post-quantum cybersecurity markets. 2. Revenue Performance and Transition to Quantum-Secure Technologies FY 2024 revenue of approximately $11 million, down from $30 million in 2023, reflects the Company transition from traditional semiconductors to next-generation Quantum Resistant chips and still early stage of the post quantum market potential alongside the impact of market normalization following the semiconductor supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The excess inventory accumulation by customers in 2023 resulted in lower 2024 order volumes as clients utilized existing stock before making new purchasing commitments. FY net loss of $21 million was primarily due to the migration from traditional semiconductor products to post-quantum semiconductor technologies and the preference of customers to delay orders until SEALSQ's new Quantum Resistant chips become available, tentatively at the end of 2025. 3. R&D and Strategic Investments in Post-Quantum Security Increased Research and Development (R&D) costs by $1.0 million year on year (a 26% increase against 2023), demonstrating the strategic importance of the development of its next-generation cutting-edge Quantum Resistant technology.
