Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)
How do I choose the right picnic basket for my needs?
Choosing the right picnic basket depends on the size of your group, the types of food and drinks you plan to bring, and your preferred style. For couples or solo outings, a compact basket with basic utensils and an insulated compartment may suffice. For families or groups, opt for a larger basket with multiple compartments, plates, cutlery, glasses, and extra storage for snacks and drinks. Consider whether you need built-in insulation, removable liners for easy cleaning, or extra features like wine holders. If you plan to travel by foot, choose a lightweight design with comfortable handles or backpack straps.
What makes a good picnic blanket for Australian conditions?
A good picnic blanket for Australian conditions should be large enough to accommodate your group, made from durable, easy-to-clean materials, and feature a waterproof or water-resistant backing to protect against damp ground. Look for blankets that are lightweight, foldable, and come with a carry handle or strap for portability. Machine-washable options are ideal for beach or bush outings where sand and dirt are common. Vibrant colors and patterns not only add style but also make your picnic spot easy to find.
Can I use picnic baskets and blankets for camping or road trips?
Absolutely! Many picnic baskets and blankets are versatile enough for camping, road trips, and other forms of travel. Use your basket to organize meals, utensils, and snacks for the journey, and your blanket as a ground cover, emergency sleeping pad, or extra layer on chilly nights. Compact, insulated baskets are perfect for storing perishables, while durable blankets provide comfort at campsites, rest stops, or even inside your tent.
How do I keep food and drinks cold during my picnic?
To keep food and drinks cold, use ice packs or frozen water bottles in your picnic basket or cooler bag. Insulated compartments help maintain low temperatures, especially when packed with pre-chilled items. Store your basket in the shade, and avoid opening it frequently to retain the cold air. For longer outings, consider bringing a separate cooler or icebox for drinks and perishable foods. Packing your basket with a mix of cold and room-temperature items can also help maintain freshness.
What are some essential accessories to bring for a successful picnic?
Essential accessories for a successful picnic include reusable plates, cutlery, cups, and napkins; a sharp knife and cutting board for food prep; a rubbish bag for cleanup; sunscreen and insect repellent; and a first-aid kit for minor injuries. For extra comfort, bring cushions or camp furniture, a portable umbrella or sunshade, and a small lantern or fairy lights for evening gatherings. Packing organisers can help keep everything sorted, and a waterproof bag is handy for wet or sandy items.
How do I clean and care for my picnic basket and blanket?
After each use, empty your picnic basket and wipe it down with a damp cloth. Remove and wash any liners or fabric inserts according to the care instructions. For picnic blankets, shake off dirt and debris, then machine wash or spot clean as needed. Allow both baskets and blankets to dry completely before storing to prevent mold and odors. Store in a cool, dry place, and check for wear or damage before your next outing.
Are there eco-friendly picnic basket and blanket options?
Yes, many brands now offer eco-friendly picnic baskets and blankets made from sustainable materials like organic cotton, recycled polyester, bamboo, or responsibly sourced wicker. Look for products with minimal packaging, reusable components, and certifications for environmental responsibility. Choosing eco-friendly gear helps reduce your environmental footprint and supports sustainable outdoor recreation.
What should I pack for a family picnic to keep everyone comfortable and entertained?
For a family picnic, pack a large blanket with enough space for everyone, a roomy basket with a variety of snacks and drinks, and plenty of utensils and napkins. Bring extra cushions or camp chairs for seating, and pack games, books, or outdoor toys to keep kids entertained. Include sunscreen, hats, and a portable sunshade for protection, and bring along a first-aid kit and rubbish bags for safety and cleanup. For longer outings, consider inflatable mattresses or sleeping bags for napping or relaxing.
How can I make my picnic setup more comfortable and stylish?
To elevate your picnic setup, choose a coordinated set of basket, blanket, and reusable tableware in matching colors or patterns. Add cushions, portable camp furniture, and a collapsible table for extra comfort. Use fairy lights, lanterns, or a small speaker to create a welcoming atmosphere. For sun protection, set up an umbrella or sunshade, and bring along a lightweight tent for shelter if needed. Packing organisers help keep everything tidy and easy to find.
What safety tips should I follow for outdoor picnics in Australia?
Safety is key for any outdoor activity. Always check the weather forecast and be prepared for sudden changes. Choose a picnic spot away from hazards like busy roads, cliffs, or deep water, especially with children present. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent, and keep food covered to avoid attracting wildlife. If you're near water, ensure everyone has access to life jackets, and supervise children at all times. Pack a basic first-aid kit, and be mindful of fire bans if planning a BBQ or campfire. Always clean up thoroughly and leave the area as you found it to protect the environment for future visitors.
Let customers speak for us
Good quality, easy to follow instructions, speedy delivery. my only complaint is that the protective plastic film on the mirror glass was extremely difficult to peel off and left as glue like residue that could only be removed with acetone and elbow grease.

Great price quick supply
The best dog tracker I ever had, my first one was very expensive and I had to buy a Sim card and get an expensive subscription through Optus. Also, the lightest Tracker I have ever owned. It was very very easy to set up.
Highly recommended, you would do well to buy this one!
