About this product
Picnics fail on logistics. The blanket is in one cupboard, the cutlery in a drawer, the cool box in the garage, and by the time all of it is in the car somebody has forgotten the salt. This backpack removes that problem by keeping everything in one place, permanently packed and ready to lift.
Inside is a complete dining set for four: wooden-handled cutlery, and stainless steel salt and pepper shakers that actually stay closed in a bag. The picnic blanket packs in with it – fleece on top to sit on, waterproof backing underneath so damp grass and wet sand stay where they belong. And there is an insulated compartment for the food and drinks, which is what keeps a bottle cold through a Dar es Salaam afternoon instead of for the first twenty minutes.
Carrying it as a backpack rather than a basket matters more than it sounds. On a beach path at Kigamboni or Bagamoyo, across a park, or down to a river in the Southern Highlands, having both hands free changes what you can bring. The fabric is a heavier picnic-weight cloth with insulated lining, and it comes in several colours.
It suits families, couples and anyone who entertains outdoors, and it is one of the easier gifts to get right – it looks like something someone has thought about, and it gets used. Message us about which colours are currently on the shelf.
