PICNIC RESOURCES

First picnic? Or just need a reminder on what to pack for a memorable picnic? Update your picnic resources in a jiffy with this handy list below to ensure you have everything you need on hand.

You will find loads of great picnic ideas and affordable accessories here. We are focused on helpful and fun picnic goodies and ideas to choose from that will turn any boring picnic into a laid-back but well-thought-out showstopper without going overboard on spending.

There is no need to buy everything at once either, you can start with something as simple as a picnic basket, a cooler box or a good quality blanket or maybe a portable grill, then add to your picnic collection over time. Think convenience, what will make a lovely eat-out in nature more relaxed and fun for you.

It helps to have a dedicated space for your picnic equipment, in a cupboard, or perhaps a dedicated container stored in the garage or attic. Easy access to all your picnic gear is a great plus. It means a picnic is possible without much hassle or having to search all over for the things you need and also, to ensure you don't forget anything important. Within a few short minutes, you can haul it all out, and you are ready to prep and pack your favorite snacks and drinks. We store our picnic gear in a container, right next to the camping and beach gear containers, this way everything is always ready to go within a moment's notice.

Oh, and before I forget, picnic items make great gifts for friends and family all round, especially for that person that has everything!

Here are my favorite picnic items for this year:

Picnic Grills

The most versatile, easy to carry picnic grills on the planet. You will struggle to find a better collection to pick from on one page! Grills so compact and unique, you can set them up right next to your picnic blanket for those delectable grilled cheese sandwiches and kebabs we all, so love.

Picnic Baskets

There is something so nostalgic and pretty about picnic baskets, that makes you want to spend time out in nature. Here are a very cool selection of picnic baskets for 2,4 or 6 persons, picnic tote bags, picnic backpacks, picnic coolers and picnic basket coolers for warmer days and beautiful fall picnic outings.

Heavenly Hammocks

For a peaceful, relaxed rest in nature, gently swaying between trees, under blue skies, after a delicious meal and refreshing walk in nature. These absolutely heavenly hammocks, in every shape and size, and price ranges, fit their descriptions perfectly and will lull you to sleep in no time or provide a sacred private space to read a good book. You'll find a hammock perfect for singles, hammock chairs and stands, plus the ever popular double hammocks here.

Picnic Blankets

High quality water-resistant picnic blankets and picnic mats, perfect for damp grass or seaside sand. Easy to roll up and carry along with a handle or carry strap. These blankets are so beautiful and inviting, they really make it much more fun to retire comfortably outdoors to enjoy your treats. Perfect for picnics whether you are camping, hiking, at the beach, at the park, out in the forest or simply on your own backyard lawn. Just ensure they are large enough to comfortably hold all your picnic-goers and food. What is there not to love about a blanket that won't collect grass and bugs underneath!

Picnic Sun Shades

Sometimes you need a little more protection, especially if you have kids or spend time out in nature midday over lunchtime. These clever shades will provide ample protection from the sun and some, from sand, wind and rain as well. Some shade canopies come with clever inside pockets where you can safely tuck away cellphones, car keys or other valuables. Most are made of materials with a UPF 50+ UV protection, if you need proper sun protection it is quite important to check for this. Do remember to pack sun hats and sunblock too.

Outdoor Picnic Games

These fun outdoor games will entertain or pull a crowd together for playtime real quick. Some people enjoy just being out in nature, soaking up fresh air and relaxing. Others enjoy more physically active or competitive outdoor recreational activities. If the latter is you, you will be happy to know you've been catered for here!

Outdoor Picnic Games For Water

Water babies, are you ready for some summer soaking, sun and fun? You'll find some gems here to keep you busy whether you are having a picnic at the pool, beach or lake.

Outdoor Picnic Games For Snow

Brave enough to go picnicking out in the winter snow? These high quality snow sleds, snow saucer sleds, snow tubes, and snowball makers will definitely ensure you have a blast! Get those flasks of hot soups, hot chocolate and homemade breads ready, we're heading out for a slippery slide in icy weather!

Outdoor Picnic Scavenger Hunt Games

Scavenger hunts are fun. A picnic is the perfect occasion for an outdoor scavenger hunt challenge, no matter how many people you are. Two can play, a few people can play individually, or teams can play against each other.

Picnic Outdoor Fire Pits

Heading out for a nighttime, fall or winter picnic, or taking on the sea breeze at dusk or dawn on the beach? You may want to throw one of these babies in your boot or on the back of your truck. They will provide much needed heat, thank me later.
