What should not be missing at your picnic?
A summer without a picnic? Unthinkable! Discover the four must-haves that no picnic should be without. With our tips, your trip to the countryside is guaranteed to be relaxed and stylish.
Summer is here, and what could be better than enjoying the warm days with a relaxing picnic? Whether in the park, by the lake or in your own garden, a picnic is the perfect opportunity to spend time with friends or family, share good food and simply unwind. But to make sure your trip to the countryside is truly unforgettable, there are a few things you shouldn't forget to bring along.
We've put together a list of the most important essentials for your perfect picnic:
The right picnic blanket – the basis for your feel-good picnic
A cosy, high-quality picnic blanket is the centrepiece of every successful picnic. It should be large enough to comfortably seat everyone and sturdy enough to provide comfort even on damp grass or uneven ground. The outdoor blanket from GIESSWEIN is particularly practical: thanks to its cotton and polyester blend, it is not only super soft, but also durable and water-repellent. Perfect for long picnic afternoons – and a real eye-catcher with its fine embroidery and cotton tassels.
Snacks & drinks – tasty treats for in between meals
What would a picnic be without good food? Small snacks are easiest to prepare and can be conveniently transported in reusable boxes. Classics such as sandwiches, fruit skewers or vegetable sticks with dip are quick to make and fit perfectly in any bag. Of course, refreshing drinks are a must – ideally well chilled in a thermos flask or cool bag. This will ensure that your picnic is not only delicious, but also refreshing.
Sustainable tableware – stylish & practical
Paper or plastic tableware? Not necessarily! If you go on picnics often, you should opt for reusable tableware. Plates and cups made of bamboo, stainless steel or glass are not only more sustainable, but also make your picnic much more stylish. A tip: always pack a sharp knife, napkins and a bottle opener – then you'll be prepared for any situation.
Entertainment & good vibes
To ensure that it is not just about the food, a few extras provide even more enjoyment. A small music box creates the right atmosphere, while games such as cards or a Frisbee provide variety. This will make your picnic a real experience – whether with friends, family or as a romantic date.
With the right preparation, every picnic becomes a special highlight. Whether it's a comfortable GIESSWEIN outdoor blanket, delicious snacks or a little entertainment – with these essentials, you'll be perfectly equipped.
Nothing stands in the way of your summer moments outdoors!
