Picnics are fun, especially if you have the right gear.  From insulated bags to coolers to dishes to blankets and more, you’ll find everything you need in this LuSHHus List of Picnic Gear.  Check it out.

These are the most stylish picnic bags I have seen.  And they’re versatile.  They don’t have to just be for picnics…they could go to the ball game, on a boat, to school, to work…anywhere!  The straw version, seen above on the left, comes in a large insulated tote size and costs $37.50.  I think it would be best to get two: one for your food and one for your supplies.  It also comes as a double wine bottle bag for $27.50.  The monogram is included in the prices.  The adorable little bags pictured on the right are insulated and make a great lunch bag or picnic sack for a child or even a lunch bag for a working adult who likes to tote a lunch.  You can get it in the green and pink seen here or in black, orange, or light blue, and it costs $25.  Order any of these items by emailing Embroidery by Valerie at vriener@austin.rr.com.

If you use the stylish picnic bags I showed you above, you will want to make sure you remember plates and eating utensils.  This is one great option for utensils.  Not only are they bright and fun, they are biodegradable.  They come in seven colors and you can get them here. 

These bamboo utensils are also eco-friendly.  They’re sleek and disposable, and you can get them here.

You will also need plates and I think any of these are a great choice.  Click on each image above for more information.

These burger baskets with liners might be fun instead of plates.

There are other cute cooler options such as this cooler from the Whim line by Cynthia Rowley at Target.  If you haven’t checked out the Whim line at Target, you should definitely do so.  You will find cute, affordable products for all your summer needs.

I can’t think of any child who wouldn’t love this!

Just want to chill some beverages?  This On The Rocks cooler is just what you need.

Perhaps you want a pre-packaged picnic set that contains almost everything you need but the food.  In that case, here are some fun options:

I love this fun picnic backpack set for four that includes: insulated food storage compartment, detachable insulated wine holder, four 11" plates and cups, 12-piece assorted stainless steel flatware, corkscrew/bottle opener, salt and pepper shakers, and cutting board.  You can buy this online here. 

The Weekender Deluxe Travel Picnic Set for 2 features a unique round shape and a great canvas fabric. The set includes plates, flatware, corkscrew, cutting board, cheese knife, salt and pepper shakers.

If your style leans toward vintage, you might like this set which consists of a super red tin with a removable willow tray containing a selection of hand crafted accessories including an enamel painted flask, ceramic plates, mugs, cutlery and embroidered napkins for two people.

This is an eco-friendly picnic basket  with service for 2 that is made from 100% all natural and renewable resources and is hand woven from natural willow. It features bamboo plates, cutting board and utensils. The cotton insulated lining is dye and chemical free. Wine glasses are made from recycled glass and napkins are from natural cotton.  Now this is a green picnic basket!

Here’s a sleek modern picnic set that folds up for easy transport and it even fits in the glove compartment of your car.  Equipped with two plastic plates, two sets of silverware, a corkscrew and a container for salt and pepper, the picnic set unfolds to provide an instant "blanket" and everything you need except a bottle of wine, some bread, and some cheese!

Choose one of the picnic blankets above to ensure you have a clean, soft place to picnic.  Click on each image for more information. 

If you’ll be mixing drinks at your picnic, you will want this portable cocktail set that contains all the tools you need to mix your favorite cocktail.

This bar set is the deluxe version as it even has space for martini glasses and two liquor bottles. 

Spruce up your picnic setting with these silly napkin rings.

The tiny tot at the picnic will be appropriately outfitted in this precious bib.

If you’re serving cupcakes at your picnic, these cup-a-cake holders are the safest way to get your dessert to the picnic site in tact.

Should your picnic plans carry into the dark of night, check out these battery-powered lights.  You can stake them in the ground or place them in a vase, and you can use one alone or group several together.  These cordless lights will certainly light up your evening picnic.

Now you’ve seen the LuSHHus List of Picnic Gear.  If you plan to picnic, choose which gear is right for you and stay tuned for the LuSHHus List of Picnic Recipes.
