I absolutely love picnics so you can bet that I’m excited to see them becoming more popular. There’s something about getting together on the ground, sharing meal, and taking in the sights and sounds of nature. If you’re going to have a picnic you’ll need to get yourself a nice blanket. Here’s some of the best picnic blankets for the park or beach I could find.
The Best Picnic Blankets for the Park or Beach
When you’re looking for the perfect blanket there’s a few things you should take into consideration. First of all, how big do you need? A smaller blanket will work for couples, but a big one might be better if you’re bringing the kids. Of course, you can always get two!
Another thing to think about is where you’re laying the blanket down. Is it going to be dirty? Rocky? Sandy? Wet? Waterproof blankets are probably better if it’s rained recently or you’re picnicking near water. For a grassy picnic, though, a regular blanket will probably work.
If you care more about aesthetic than finding a practical picnic blanket then you might want to opt for a throw blanket instead. They’re so Instagrammable and super soft to sit on. The only problem is you might end up staining it from dirt, grass, or wet sand.
