Spring has finally come and to benefit from the nice atmosphere that is taking over, we will do our absolute best to help you plan the perfect picnic. Of course, you don’t want to get to your destination and realize that you have forgotten a picnic essential which will stop you from enjoying your day with your family and friends. So to avoid this awfully annoying problem, below is a list of the basics you will need to make this day ideal, memorable and fuss-free.

1 - A soft blanket that is light-toned so it doesn’t get you too warm if the weather gets hot.

2 – Plenty of water as you don’t want any dehydration drama. 

3 – Plastic cups since glass cups are prohibited in public places. If you want things to be more aesthetic, opt for clear ones.

4 – A cooler full of ice to keep your drinks fresh and chilled.

5 – Delicious yet easy to prepare food, as you want to enjoy a meal that won’t require a full day in the kitchen.

6 – Biodegradable plates, serving forks and spoons. Just because you want to have a memorable day, doesn’t mean you forget to be kind to the environment.

7 – For a chic display and Instagram pictures you’ll be envied for, separate food ingredients in mason jars instead of plastic containers. They keep things clean, organized and pretty!

8 – Don’t forget the pack of wipes and tissues, as nature will only give you relaxation and beauty. Cleanliness and hygiene is totally on you!

Are you feeling picnic-y yet? Grab your things and gather your friends, as loads of fun await you!
