Picnic Hampers

Picnic hampers are a huge step away from the traditional basket. These clever models don't just carry whatever you have planned for your picnic. Instead they support and protect additional accessories that make an al fresco event that much more enjoyable. Most have storage for plates and silverware, but many other models also have spaces and straps to carry silverware and stemware that is usually a pain or downright dangerous to carry around. Additionally, many models come with extra straps and storage space for bottles of wine and olive oil, which can add a touch of flavor and fun to any outing.

These models can be found in a plethora of materials, but one of the most common is the classic wicker models. Warm and old-fashioned, these models are anything but. Inside, you'll find cushioned storage for and sturdy supports for most any accessory you'll need on your picnic. There are also more modern looking models that help protect your accessories and food from the elements (and any intruders), while still looking sleek and stylish.

A fun option for these models is to give them as a gift. Many companies have a spread of units that include plates and silver, which go with the unit. Additionally, some companies offer jams, crackers and wines that are always nice to give. You may even want to gift one of these to yourself as they are a great starter kit. Depending upon whether you're planning a family getaway or a romantic night, you can find a model that serves exactly the purposes you need.
