ProductEkobo Picnic Set
Made from a combination of bamboo and melamine, Ekobo’s modern, durable kitchenware is designed with space-saving in mind. Their compact 10-piece picnic set comes complete with cups and rimmed plates to serve four. All the pieces are top-rack dishwasher safe. -
ProductPackIt Freezable Backpack Cooler
To keep your picnic cold during transport, just freeze this cooler backpack the night before, fill it, and go. It’s comfy to carry and easy to clean; plus, the outer material boasts radiant-shield technology, which deflects the sun’s heat. And if real estate in your freezer is at a premium, no worries: it folds flat so it won’t take up a lot of space. -
ProductManna Insulated Wine Carafes
Does your picnic site have a ban on glass bottles? No problem. Just decant your wine into these sleek Manna carafes (the 50-oz. size holds two bottles’ worth) and you’re on your way. The insulated carafe keeps the wine chilled for up to 24 hours. The twist-and-pull acacia-wood lid acts as a cork, so you can skip packing a corkscrew too. -
ProductThe Napkins + DwellStudio
Sometimes paper just won’t do, but cloth is a hassle. Enter The Napkins’s collaboration with design brand DwellStudio: a line of high-end disposable napkins that feel almost like real linens and come in a range of fresh, modern patterns. They’re an ideal bridge to that paper-cloth divide. -
ProductLamson Picnic Knife
A good folding knife is an essential at any picnic, and this one really earns its keep: The 5-1/2-inch serrated stainless-steel blade is longer than a typical pocket knife, and cuts easily through crusty baguettes, hard salami, and cheese rinds. It also includes a corkscrew for opening your picnic wine. -
ProductCasablanca Market Picnic Basket
This handsome, roomy picnic backpack from Casablanca Market lets you bring a touch of Provence on your next hike. Hand-woven by Moroccan artisans from palm leaves and finished with leather straps, it’s just as great to haul your farmers’ market picks as it is for a lunch outing in the park. -
ProductBambu Veneerware Plates and Utensils
It’s not always practical to tote reusable dishes for your picnic. If disposable plates are in order, these organic bamboo plates and utensils are biodegradable and compostable, yet sturdy enough that they won’t get sogged out by salad dressing or hot foods. -
ProductTossware Tumblers
Nothing brings down an elegant picnic like drinking wine out of plastic Solo cups. But these Tossware Tumblers, made from recyclable, shatterproof, crystal clear 100% BPA-free plastic, will fool the most snooty of guests. Plus, they can be hand washed and used repeatedly if you want.
