We love this time of year, when the pace is more relaxed, days are longer, and eating is simpler. Pack a picnic basket, head out the door, and make any summertime meal memorable.
Even the most casual picnic experience can be taken up an extra notch with a few picnic packing pointers. Follow our tips for a fiasco-free dinner al fresco.
5 Picnic Packing Essentials
Use this "essentials" checklist each time you pack a picnic:
- A generously-sized, washable blanket will serve as tabletop and lounge. Our weather-friendly Adventure Blanket is a great picnic companion.
- A knife and corkscrew almost always come in handy when dining al fresco. The compact, two-in-one Corkscrew Knife does it all.
- A good water bottle is a must-have on outdoor adventures–picnics included. Our popular Insulated Tumbler with Handle is a great choice.
- A pack-and-go food container makes picnicking pleasant. Neatly pack and stack picnic foods in the Travel Lunchbox with Bamboo Lid.
- A set of reusable, eco-friendly flatware is a clear winner over plastic. Even better, the sleek, stainless Porter Utensil Set comes in a tidy carrying case.
- A cloth napkin is a smart, sustainable addition to any picnic basket. Our Printed Cotton Cocktail Napkins are good looking and easy-care.
Pack your picnic in a sturdy basket or tote. (Our Wicker & Canvas Picnic Tote is both!) Plan easy-to-eat foods (avoid sloppy, saucy, and floppy). Keep picnic fare chilled. And pack wet wipes and plenty of water.
Most of all, relax and have FUN.
