It includes plates, mugs, cutlery, and even a corkscrew to ensure that day in the park or at the beach will be a memorable, delicious one.

“This comes with everything you need, minus a cute blanket, to have a stylish outing in a park,” writes one 5-star reviewer. “The basket itself is woven willow, definitely sturdy. The handles and straps are a beautiful brown leather and keep the utensils in place. The basket is carried like a suitcase, with a comfortable grip, and is lightweight while empty. The basket’s interior is deep, with room for whatever you decide is a good choice for your picnic. Even has a bottle opener! This basket is really cute!”
