How to Pack a Perfect Picnic for a Pair

Happy Spring! It’s time to break out that picnic basket, grab your best friend, and get snacking! Since it’s been forever since you’ve experienced this nice of weather, allow me to recap you on your perfect picnic checklist.

Where are you going? Research different parks or pop a squat in your backyard. Either way, make sure you check the weather, pack some sunscreen, bug spray, and an umbrella (just in case).

 

Blanket

What are y’all going to sit on? The itchy grass is never fun, especially if you’re around ants or the grass is damp. Starting off with the right blanket is key to a polished picnic.

Let’s get straight to it. Drinks. It’s all about your tastes. There’s no drink you have to pack, it’s whatever you want. If you’re feeling like some wine, don’t forget those perfect glasses. Want some beer? Pack it. If you want water, no one will stop you. Just make sure you have enough for refills.

 

Basket

How are you organizing all this amazing snackage? Finding the right basket for you can be challenging to get everything to fit just right. Sometimes all you need is a reusable bag. Otherwise, Amazon has a multitude of choices with you in mind.
