If you're like most people, you probably thought that all umbrellas are created equal. However, they are actually vastly different from one another! Here, we'll take a quick gander at the giant umbrella and how you can use it practically, cleverly, and amusingly.

1. The Giant Umbrella at the BeachOne of the most perfect places for any giant umbrella is at the beach. It can keep out the wind, particles of sand, surf spray, and the sun. And if you get one that's big enough, you can be ensured of a veritable tent that will cover you and your family with ease.

2. The Giant Umbrella in the BackyardDon't forget that the sun shines and the rain pours in your own backyard! If you want to enjoy a good book on the lawn but don't want the sun in your eyes (or turning your skin to leather), place a giant umbrella in the grass. That way, you can enjoy the great outdoors without having to worry about wrinkles or squinting.

3. The Giant Umbrella in the Kids PlayroomWant your kids to think you're the coolest parent on the block? Allow them to put up a giant umbrella in their bedroom (if it's big enough) or the playroom. Kids adore pretending, and a giant umbrella will be the perfect tool for them to use. They can pretend they're at the Malibu beach even when it's actually a sleeting day in Minnesota!

4. The Giant Umbrella at the Concert in the ParkMany times during the warmer months, concerts or other events are offered at local parks or hangouts. Why not take along your giant umbrella to the next one you haunt? That way, you can realize on the earth without getting any sun in your eyes. It's also the best place for baby to crawl around in the shade under the watchful eyes of mom and dad, and diapers can be changed with a minimum of public exposure.

5. The Giant Umbrella at the Garage SaleWant people to stay at your yard sale and buy more things? Create a little shady �alcove� where they can browse. Just plop your oversized, giant umbrella in the earth and have a special section of more expensive wares beneath it. That way, your buyers will take the opportunity to sift through more merchandise than they might on an ultra-sunny (and hot) day.

6. The Giant Umbrella at the PartyIf your office or volunteer organization hosts a themed party such as �Hawaiian Luau� or �Tropical Days� every year, you can use a giant umbrella as a �set piece.� If no one has one personally, you can often rent them from a local party supply store for a minimal price. This will create just the right amount of fun ambiance and silly atmosphere to make for a memorable event!

The only limitations you have on how you choose to use your giant umbrella are in your mind. Free your thoughts and be creative!
