It's National Picnic Month - What should you include for that 'perfect picnic?'

July is National Picnic Month, which means it's time to grab a wicker hamper basket and head outside for some al fresco dining.

Whether you're planning a romantic picnic for two, a family outing, or a get-together with friends, there are a few things you'll want to include for your perfect picnic.

First and foremost, you'll need a comfortable blanket or mat to sit on. Look for one that's large enough to accommodate everyone, and preferably waterproof in case the ground is damp.

Next, you'll need some food and drinks. Finger foods like sandwiches, fruit, cheese, and crackers are great options, as are portable snacks like trail mix and granola bars. Don't forget to bring plenty of water or other beverages to stay hydrated.

In addition to food and drinks, you'll want to bring some supplies to make your picnic more enjoyable. This might include a frisbee or ball for some outdoor games, a book or magazine to read, or a portable speaker to play some tunes. And of course, don't forget to bring plates, cups, utensils, and napkins to serve and clean up your food.

When it comes to choosing a picnic basket, wicker hamper baskets are a classic choice that never goes out of style. Not only do they look charming and rustic, but they're also sturdy and can hold a lot of items. Plus, many wicker baskets come with built-in compartments for plates and cups, making it easy to keep everything organised. Overall, a picnic is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with loved ones. With a few key items and a wicker hamper basket in tow, you'll be all set for a perfect picnic.
