How to Get Equipped for an Epic Picnic

Who doesn’t love a picnic? Not many, surely. The opportunity to relax and spend time in the great outdoors with generous quantities of your favourite snacks and drinks sounds pretty amazing to most of us.

There’s even an International Picnic Day to celebrate this fact, falling on 18 June. Fingers crossed the weather will be obliging, and we’ll all be able to get out and partake in some glorious picnicking.

Here at Dotmaison, we love to enjoy a picnic as much as anyone. We also know that designer products can help make a good picnic more enjoyable. Here’s our guide to the luxurious items available to help with a picnic.

Convenience and practicality are important factors to pay attention to for a successful picnic. Cutting down on space wherever possible is one way to make storing picnic items easier to do.

The above environmentally sound drinking utensil the Stojo Collapsible Pocket Cup, 355ml takes this idea and runs with it. Made from the safest materials, with a strong lid and heat sleeve, the cup can collapse when not filled with a drink, soup or porridge.
Ideal for taking around wherever you are, the cup is perfect for serving drinks at a picnic. Available in a range of stylish colourways, the cup is just the thing for an environmentally-conscious drink at a picnic.

A wonderful surface for parking down for a picnic is provided with the deluxe Fatboy Picnic Lounge. Comfortable and cosy, the waterproof and durable mat is big enough for a group of friends and family to sit and picnic together.

Arriving with pegs to secure to the ground and a brush to keep the material in tip-top condition, the elegant blue patterned rug will make a big impact on picnic day.

Picnic essentials could also be taken to the site with the gorgeously made Ferm Living Bark Picnic Bag. The chic accessory is ideal for outdoor fun. Made from organic cotton and featuring an understated design, the bag has a waxed outer and several compartments for keeping snacks, treats and cutlery.

A zip closure ensures everything is kept in place, and the comfortable strap makes walking with the bag a breeze.

Alfresco dining and outdoor picnic adventures are bolstered by the above Mepal Silueta 3 Piece Cutlery Set. The collection consists of a knife, fork and spoon, with a clip ideal for keeping them together when on the move.
