Chic Basket
Because these are summer picnic memories your children will carry with them through life, how about making the basket an heirloom to pass down with them? This one is handwoven in New England by a 163-year-old company.

Stellar Cooler
It goes without saying that you’ll want to keep your food chilled. This insulated cooler is spacious enough for a complete meal, but comfy enough to tote either by the handles or shoulder strap.

Carry-All
Put all of your items in your (collapsible) picnic wagon. This puppy folds up to the size of a pack and play but when unfolded, can wheel around your small kiddos and your picnic supplies. The sturdy tires are great for gentle “off-roading” to get to the part of the park that is free from college students who started drinking at 11 am.
