With outdoor socialising back on the cards, now's the time to either dust last year's grass off your picnic blanket or buy a new one in celebration of all the alfresco rekindling of friendships on the horizon.
The picnic blanket has come a long way since the traditional tartan styles – you know, the red ones with the fringing, that every grandparent seems to have tucked away somewhere?
Now, picnic blankets, rugs, throws, whatever you like to call them, are sold in an array of styles, fabrics, and durability. If you're a practical person you might think about buying a foldable compact blanket, complete with a handle and secure traps. Or perhaps, you're more about the picnic aesthetic, living the cottagecore dream. In that case, might we suggest a stylish throw instead?
Find our edit of picnic blankets below, to suit any budget and style style. Happy picnicking...
