Pull Off a Perfect Picnic Date
The right gear: You don’t need a picnic basket, since a cooler or even a big canvas bag can tote your goods, but a proper basket will make your meal seem more genteel. Look for one that’s structured and boxy, so your food can’t get squashed en route, and preferably made of classic wicker. You can find baskets for every budget at http://www.epicnicbasket.com/. You need a blanket, though, ideally one with a waterproof bottom, to keep moisture in the ground from soaking through to your bottoms.
