I am in the middle of working on an epic summer bucket list that I will be sharing soon, but it made me realize that I am ill-prepared for picnics or outdoor concerts or movies. I figured I would make a list of my picnic favorites for this Friday’s post so I can get ready to have the best summer ever. Here are my must have items:
1. Outdoor Blanket and Tote ($34.99)
I liked this blanket better than some of the other ones I saw because the underside was water resistant. I hate having water seep through your blanket so that spoke to me. I also like how it folds up into a little carrying tote making it easier to get around.
2. Meritage Deluxe Insulated Wine and Cheese Tote ($69.99)
I thought this was the perfect way to travel. You can bring two bottles of wine and it includes glasses, cutting board, knife, corkscrew and more. It even has room for cheese and crackers.
3. Wine Stakes Set ($13.99)
These are great for outdoor events so you don’t spill your wine everywhere.
4. Off! Deep Woods Insect Repellent Towelettes ($5.49)
John and I are both mosquito magnets so we can’t go halfway on repellents. These Off wipes are just the thing to make sure we can have fun outdoors and not pay for it the following week with mosquito bites.
5. Malibu Solar Firefly Jar ($16.95)
I like the idea of having some sort of light outdoors, but nothing too bright or intrusive for the activity. I loved the whimsical look of the faux firefly jar.
What are your favorite picnic items? Let me know so I can include them on my summer adventures this year!

That wine and cheese tote is way cool!!! Thanks for all the ideas!
Blanket/tote idea is fun. I won a blanket kind of like that (wraps up into a carrying bag) a few years ago and it’s essential when I go to outdoor summer concerts.
Love picnics so much!! The blanket is my favorite, we keep just a regular blanket for picnics but this outdoor specific one would be great for picnics or the beach
