Eat Outdoors Without Regretting It
In theory, picnics sound great. Enjoying the great outdoors with family and friends while you nibble on finger foods and watch your kids run around on the grass or the sand. It’s the reality of messes, bugs, and lukewarm drinks that make you rethink it all once you’ve set up your lawn chairs and blankets. Well, don’t worry and start packing that cooler, Mama, because we’ve got the perfect solution to every picnic problem!
Onarway 3 Pack Food Covers 14 Inch Pop-Up
We LOVE eating en plein air about as much as we HATE dealing with bugs in our food. Luckily these domed serving tents keep creepy crawlers off your Aunt Mabel’s special-recipe red-skinned potato salad. These accommodate dishes up to 7.5″ tall, and fold down easily for portability.
Business & Pleasure Co. Breeze Block Ice Pack
There are few things worse in life than cracking open your soda or beer to discover it’s warmed to the temperature of a July afternoon. (Okay maybe more than a few.) Still, take along this ice pack that has a low profile design making it space-friendly in your cooler bag. It stays cold up to 8 hours and freezes fast.
Kovot Poly-Wicker Picnic Basket
Insulated coolers are practical, but when you’re looking to create a certain vibe with your picnic, this handwoven classically-styled basket looks so retro. It’s made with food-grade polypropylene fibers with durable materials that are easy to wash and won’t mold. It’s large enough to hold all your food and drinks…and your little dog, too!
TABLETOPICS Family Gathering
Struggling to figure out how to get your kids to open up with their grandparents? We love these question cards that prompt engaging conversations around the table. They’re great for parties or just a simple family dinner. These can help create connections across generations and make lasting memories.
Disposable Wooden Cutlery
Lugging along your regular silverware on a picnic is a hassle, but we all know plastic is bad for the environment. These eco-friendly compostable utensils solve the issue. They’re sturdy and splinter-free while also being non-toxic, food-grade, plastic-free, and BPA-Free. This pack comes with 100 forks, 60 knives and 60 spoons, so you’ll be set for a while!
BELLAFORTE Shatterproof Tritan Plastic Short Tumbler
If those red Solo cups remind you too much of the last fraternity party you attended, these beautiful, but unbreakable tumblers will fit the bill. They’re easily stackable, dishwasher safe, and BPA/EA free. Cheers!
Chambray Berry and Thread Melamine Dinner Plate
When you’re upgrading your outdoor meal from everyday to super fancy (or hey, maybe super fancy IS your everyday) you’ll want to invest in this gorgeous dinnerware collection. Perfect for entertaining indoors and outdoors, this melamine dinner plate is easy to clean and looks beautiful on any table.
Maison d’ Hermine Napkins
We don’t know about your family, but ours wastes paper napkins by the forest-load, which is why these 100% cotton, easy to wash and reuse napkins will be our next picnic purchase. They’re pretty, soft, and clean up little mouths with ease.
Picnic Blanket Extra Large
We’re not sure you’re officially allowed to say you’re having a picnic without laying out an oversized blanket on the lawn. But this is no ordinary blanket. Over-sized at 80” x 80”, it’s composed of three layers to stay dry and comfortable. There’s an acrylic fiber on the top, foam in the middle, and a waterproof layer on the bottom. Your next patch of picnic grass won’t know what hit it.
Vinglace Wine Chiller
Of course you can have a picnic without wine, but would you really want to? This lightweight and easy-to-carry chiller keeps your bottle cold without ice. It’s made of stainless steel and vacuum insulated, so you don’t have to worry about condensation or warm wine.
Business & Pleasure Co. The Premium Cooler
Pack up your troubles and your picnic paraphernalia in this insulated cooler that’s as pretty as it is functional. It will look great on the grass or the beach and will probably match a couple of your summer sundresses.
