1. Picnic Backpack
If you want an easy-to-carry picnic set that has everything you need for an outdoor dining set up, consider this picnic backpack. It features an insulated, waterproof backpack and blanket in a variety of neutral tones, plus it comes with all the bells and whistles: plates, cutlery, wine glasses, a cutting board, salt and pepper shakers, a corkscrew and more.
2. Picnic Basket Set
If you prefer the traditional look of a picnic basket, you’ll find plenty of cute picnic kits in a basket, too. This picnic basket set includes cutlery, plates, wine glasses and napkins for four diners, plus a waterproof blanket. It also has an insulated cooler compartment to hold chilled goods, like cheeses or berries.
3. Cutlery
Maybe you already have a trusty cooler to haul your picnic goodies, but you need some durable dining ware to pack. Rather than loading up your everyday forks, spoons and knives, invest in cutlery better suited for outdoor dining, like this 13-piece cutlery set in a convenient, roll-up pouch.
4. Plates
No need to pack your cherished ceramic plates for your picnic. Instead, pack these pretty, portable plates that are made from wheat straw. This set includes 10 durable plates that won’t chip or break, plus they are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. The lipped edge helps keep watermelon juices from spilling out over the sides, too.
5. Drinkware
No picnic setup is complete without the right cups for holding water, lemonade or orange juice. Try these fun, colorful acrylic cups. Each cup comes in a different color, so you won’t have to worry about mixing up drinks. The acrylic material looks like glass, but you don’t have to worry about it shattering if it takes a tumble, and it can go in the dishwasher after the picnic’s over.
6. Food Storage Containers
You’ll need some leakproof containers to actually hold all the treats you plan to indulge in on your picnic, and these food storage containers are perfect for the job. They have airtight, leakproof lids to keep food fresh and avoid spills. Plus, they nest into each other to take up less storage space.
7. Beeswax Wrap
Perfect for storing cheese or pre-made sandwiches, this beeswax wrap is a more eco-friendly alternative to plastic wrap. That also saves you from searching for a trash can to toss out single-use plastic wrap after you’ve eaten.
8. Picnic Blanket
If you don’t have a picnic set with a blanket included, make sure to grab one that can hold up to the elements. A waterproof picnic blanket means you can stay dry, even if you lay out the blanket on dewy grass or a sandy beach. This extra-large picnic blanket folds up into its own convenient carrying case, plus it is waterproof and sand-proof for a more comfortable al fresco dining experience.
9. Cushions
If you want to be a little extra, or you just need a more comfortable seat than the cold, hard ground, invest in some seat cushions for your picnic set. These outdoor cushions were made for padding hard surfaces, so they’ll offer a little extra comfort whether you’re picnicking at a grassy park, a sandy beach or a concrete plaza. They fold up for easier storage.
