Today we’ll look at what to pack for a picnic & adding the right accessories to make your outings memorable. But first…

Huzzah!!   Summers finally here & not a second too soon! After  months of shelter in place, the idea of socializing under the sun, on a patch of green or sand is intoxicating.

And from what we’ve learned, socializing outside (socially distant, small groups) might be the safest way to catch up with friends… & the most fun with the right picnic setup!

We’ve scoured the web to line up the 24 curated products listed below & on the shop page. Hopefully they’ll add creature comforts to your gatherings with friends & family.

Finally, if you click & purchase a product, it’s possible Jaunty could receive a commission. Would that be so terrible? I don’t think so 🙂
