I found this one in a cute little boutique while in San Luis Obispo. My mother in law later ordered it for me off of Amazon for my birthday. It is a bit pricey for a picnic basket but it is really well made. Plus we use it a ton and is our go to cooler whenever we go on road trips or day trips.
It comes with plates and utensils for two as well as a wood cutting board. It comes with little goblets but I ended up trading them out for these slightly fancier plastic glasses that I already had and loved.
Inside the tote comes with a removable insulated sleeve as well as two separate spots for holding bottled beverages.
I ordered separately a matching blanket as well. It folds up nice and small and is the blanket I keep on hand in the car. I love that it matches. The whole Picnic Time line comes with all sorts of matching sets if you aren't as in love with the traditional tartan pattern as I am!
What do we usually pack on our picnics? We love cheese, crackers, salami, chocolate, and sparkling cider. On most weekend trips or day trips I pack us one lunch style picnic. This saves us from spending extra money on lunch (save it for a nice dinner!) plus gives us an excuse to stage a romantic picnic while exploring somewhere new.
So in case you need proof that we use this picnic basket a lot, here are a few photos from some of our trips where we used it. Much cuter than a traditional cooler in my opinion!
