If you live in a city like I do, where there's free music in the park all Summer long, you'll definitely want to have some great picnic gear on hand. Even if you don't, it's always good to have the makings of an awesome picnic on standby for those Summer days when you need something fun to do. Picnicking isn't a classic Summer pastime for no reason, after all.
1. VonShef 4-Person Wicker Picnic Basket with Flatware, Plates, & Wine Glasses
The first thing you'll need, in order to execute the perfect picnic, is a picnic basket (or hamper if you're fancy). If you're a bit more traditional and plan on picnicking with friends, the VonShef 4 person wicker basket is the perfect option for you. It is quite elegant and stylish with brown leather handle and interior straps, and a blue checked lining. It also comes equipped with plates, cutlery, wine glasses, napkins, salt & pepper shakers, bottle opener, and blanket.
2. Scuddles Insulated Picnic Basket for 4
If you're a bit more modern or sporty, or if you just need a picnic basket that will keep your food or drinks cold all day, you might go with the Scuddles Insulated Picnic Basket with cooler compartment and 4-person place setting including plates, utensils, bottle opener, salt and pepper shakers, cutting board and more. The tote is lightweight, durable and completely gender neutral. And, it's plenty big enough to hold all your food, measuring 12 l x 12 w x 13 h.
3. Scuttle's Handy Mat Extra Large Outdoor Blanket
Whether you're picnicking in the park or at the beach, you're going to need somewhere to sit. This Scuttle Handy Mat is an extra large blanket you can carry with you wherever it is you're going. It includes built-in handles and convenient pockets on either side. It folds out to 60" x 78" and will easily seat four adults. What's more, it matches function with style, in cool Summer tones in a striped pattern.
4. Stansport Portable Picnic Table with 4 Seats and Umbrella
If you're slightly averse to sitting on the ground, this Stansport Picnic Table and Umbrella combo might be right for you. It folds up into its own carrying case and then folds back out with ease as needed. The umbrella is a special touch, to protect you from the sun when at the lake or beach, but you can definitely also leave it off, when picnicking in the park.
