Now’s a Great Time to Picnic. Here’s What You Need

The most important part of a picnic is arguably the blanket. This is more of a beach towel, but it works well for a picnic, too. The pattern is fun, colorful, and I like it because it’s also a super soft towel you can use in your bathroom when you’re not on a picnic.

Cooler backpacks are excellent. And the Hydroflask Unbound is a step above the rest. It is unbelievably sleek for a cooler, has smart insulation, is leak proof, and stores 15L of food and/or drinks. That’s really all you need for a picnic.

What I love about this face mask is that it can hang around your neck if there isn’t a person in sight, and then you can put it on with ease. It’s breathable and not too bad to look at, either.

Snag a couple of these reusable bowls, fill them with fruit, cheese, snacks, whatever you want, and you’ll be good to go. The lid always stays in reach too, which is excellent for ant protection.

You’re the one that’s supposed to be having a picnic, not the bugs. Protect yourself with my favorite bug spray. It is DEET free and has a pump applicator so you don’t put on too much at a time.

The only thing you need now is some music. This speaker is almost as good as live music. It connects via bluetooth, sounds great, and best of all, is waterproof, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally spilling all over it.
