Picnic Checklist: 6 Accessories You Need for Next Outing
Today’s forecast: 100% chance of picnicking.
Let me be frank, I love picnics, and I believe you do too. With the arrival of spring and summer on the horizon, you might be contemplating what you need for a truly enjoyable picnic. Here are 6 must-have picnic essentials for you.
1. Picnic Rug/ Picnic Blanket
When it comes to picnicking, a "picnic rug" is an indispensable accessory. When purchasing one, it's wise to consider the number of people and choose the right size. A standard single-person size typically measures around 180×90cm, ensuring enough space for comfortable sitting or lounging.
Additionally, the choice of fabric is crucial. If practicality is your top priority, go for a waterproof nylon material that's easy to clean and offers sufficient thickness for support. If aesthetics and Instagram-worthy photos are on your mind, you can also select waterproof picnic matscrafted from decorative fabrics or adorned with unique patterns to enhance the overall look.
2. Reusable and Chic Plate
There’s nothing better than good food and the sounds of nature.
Good food deserves beautiful plates to add flair! After you've chosen the scrumptious picnic food to bring along, it's the perfect time to acquire a set of durable and stylish picnic plates for convenient storage and feasting.
We strongly recommend selecting eco-friendly and sustainable bamboo fiber plates, which come in various pattern designs and are aesthetically pleasing. They are well-suited for showcasing a wide array of picnic delicacies and delightful desserts!

3. Practical and Portable Drinkware
Apart from delectable food and desserts, no picnic is complete without your favorite beverages. Some people prefer to purchase drinks, while others enjoy concocting their own picnic beverages recipes, enhancing the pleasure of picnic preparation.This practice not only brings a sense of fulfillment but is also more environmentally friendly.On a hot summer day, you can pour your homemade fruit tea into a large glass pitcher and use a set of unique glass cups for a joyful afternoon tea with friends, loved ones, or family. Alternatively, you can pour your creamy bubble tea with ice into a cute and portable stainless steel water bottle. For those seeking convenience, a portable travel cup filled with iced coffee or water is a smart choice as well.
4. Picnic Basket
One item that's a must on any picnic checklist is a sturdy container for your picnic essentials, and the picnic basket fits the bill perfectly. A sturdy woven basketeven casually placed on a picnic mat can exude a sense of natural beauty. You can stick to tradition with a straw basket, or opt for a more practical insulated cooler bag. A spacious and insulated cooler bag is particularly handy when you're planning on bringing perishable items for a full day out.

5. Sunscreen, Insect Repellent, and Rain Gear
Most picnics involve spending nearly 2.5-3 hours outdoors, making sun protection essential to prevent prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays and potential sunburn. When picnicking in parks or forested areas, it's also advisable to apply insect repellent and carry appropriate remedies to guard against unexpected mosquito bites. Furthermore, even if the day's weather forecast suggests minimal rain, it's a good idea to bring a mini pocket umbrella as a precaution to avoid unexpected situations.
6. Bluetooth Speakers and Board Role-Playing Games
Picnicking is not just about relishing great food but also about bringing the rhythm of music and the fun of games. To create a comfortable atmosphere, many people bring Bluetooth speakers to play music. If you want to play games together, consider bringing board games suitable for multiplayer fun.We recommend Cluedo Classic Board Game, Monopoly - Classic, Battleship Electronic, and The Settlers of Catan, which are popular board games of the moment.
Soak in the music, games, food, and the great outdoors; picnics offer the perfect opportunity for genuine relaxation and building stronger connections with each other.
I'm confident that everyone is eagerly anticipating a picnic, whether it's an outdoor park gathering, a woodland retreat, an new electric boat picnic, a birthday picnicor even a cozy mini-picnic in your own backyard. It's a source of genuine delight for all.
