Jacaru Australia Oilskin Picnic Blanket
A picnic blanket is just as important as a picnic basket. Thankfully, this Australian-made picnic blanket is just as luxurious as it is sensible. This water-resistant picnic blanket has an oilskin outer so the bindis can’t get through and, for ultimate picnic vibes, it is topped with a lush flannelette lining. Made in Burleigh Heads, Queensland, after just one use you’ll understand what all the fuss is about with Jacaru Australia’s Oilskin Picnic Blanket.

Original Finska Outdoor Game
Finska is still one of our all-time favourite picnic games. The game stems from a log-tossing contest in cold, forested Finland; but these days we’ve exchanged Vikings for happy picnickers, and snowy ice-capped mountains for sunny parks. The game is sure to test your aim and spark some friendly competition. The one item you definitely want to bring for your next spring picnic!

Morgan & Finch Round Wicker Picnic Basket

Thankfully Morgan & Finch’s Round Wicker Picnic Basket is just as adorable as it is practical. Perfect for the beach or the park, this picnic basket features an in-built lined cooling system so your wine can stay cooler for longer. Plus, you can even use the lid as a little nifty table. This is our favourite picnic basket of the season.
