CUTLERY WRAP

Save yourself the hassle of rummaging around for missing forks and teaspoons with a handy cutlery wrap. These are the perfect size for stashing in your picnic bag, and a good way of stopping a special picnic set from getting mixed up in the cutlery drawer...

PICNIC BLANKET

Whether you’re sitting in your own garden or your picnic is packed for a day out, brighten things up with a colourful and comfortable quilted picnic rug. Mix and match prints and designs for a striking blanket that you’ll enjoy showing off when the sun starts to shine.

PICNIC BAG

Pack the perfect afternoon tea in this insulated picnic bag. It’ll keep your strawberries and cream nice and cool and your warm drinks toasty. With carry handles, plenty of pockets and a fresh, summery fabric, this make is practical and chic.

BEESWAX FOOD WRAPS

Reusable beeswax wraps are a big hit – not only are they much better for the environment but they’re also far prettier than your normal plastic film. Up your picnic aesthetic with some eco-friendly food wraps that are super quick and simple to make.

FABRIC NAPKINS

Another way of having an eco-conscious picnic is to sew some gorgeous fabric napkins. Use these for sticky ice-cream fingers and then simply put them in the wash when you get home and pack them ready for your next outdoor dining adventure.

CUSHIONS

No picnic bench? No problem! Eat outdoors without compromising on comfort with some soft floor cushions. Extra seating is always handy, and you’ll get plenty of use out of these at home too when you’re enjoying some rays in your garden.
