Spring has officially sprung in Australia so we can all look forward to better weather (and hopefully better days).
With the sun coming out more and the flowers blooming, it’ll be the perfect conditions for a nice outdoor picnic. When the temperatures are so pleasant, it’s almost a sin to not venture to a park. Given that our outdoor time has been so truncated over these past 18 months thanks to COVID-19, it’s perfectly reasonable that you might be a bit rusty on the picnic front.
We’re here to help though, with our guide to everything you’ll need to throw the best Spring picnic.
Extra Large Picnic Blanket
This huge picnic rug is perfect for both the casual Spring picnic and the more adventurous camping trip. Big enough to fit 4 to 6 adults, it’s still compact enough once rolled up to not be a nuisance to carry. The high dense material is also waterproof and soundproof, making it suitable for any type of picnic.

Home Innovation Picnic Basket
This might be the most important piece of any picnic. It has to be big enough to carry all utensils and food; it has to look cute when swinging in your hand too. Thank god, then, for this basket for 2 from ZORMY. The basket comes with 2 ceramic plates, wine glasses and cotton napkins, 1 stainless steel corkscrew, 2 sets of stainless steel flatware (forks, knives, spoons), as well as an additional blanket for that wet grass. In other words, it has mostly everything to make for a lovely Spring day out.

This collection of 10 white Calla Lily flowers is perfect for the blooming of Spring and fit excellently in a vase. The long stems are also made of eco-friendly material.
