The best picnic baskets on amazon and what to pack for the perfect picnic
It is almost picnic season! In this blog post i am going to share with you my favorite finds on Amazon and help you pack for your perfect picnic.
So last spring i saw so many pretty picnic baskets, and by the time i had made the decision to buy one, i couldn’t even find one! I really regretted not buying one the rest of the summer. I love the look of a classic picnic basket, there is something so satisfying about filling a basket with all of your favorite treats and enjoying them somewhere pretty.
Yesterday, i went to winners and there was the prettiest picnic basket, just one, in and isle full of vintage looking coolers. This year i guess coolers are in, but i managed to find one basket and i am obsessed!
Isn’t she pretty???!
This year we are volunteering two days a week at a local farm and we have rented a plot at a community garden, so i know i will be using this all summer and i am so excited!
If you are reading this i know that you probably would love a picnic basket too, so i have searched on Amazon and have put together my favorites, just for you.
A perfect picnic starts with the right basket.
Not all baskets are created the same. Some are purely aesthetic and others are built to actually keep food fresh and cool. The perfect basket is both.
In this guide, i am sharing the best picnic baskets right now on Amazon plus, exactly what to pack so your picnic feels effortless, elevated, and worth repeating all summer.

Best overall picnic basket
The ultimate picnic basket, take a look here!
This one is a little bit of a splurge at $89.89, but it really does have it all. But, not only is it pretty, it is functional and i love that it includes a blanket. This one would be a great option for families of four, and even comes with a free cooler. I think that this one is actually a great price for the value as you only really need to include food.
Best for couples
It even has a little table! Take a look here!
I love this one! The thing that makes it special for me, is the little table. This makes it perfect for couples on a little day or evening picnic date. Plus, it would look so cute in pictures. Grab one here.
Best insulated basket that still looks pretty
If you are looking for something pretty yet functional, take at look at this one.
I love that it includes a grazing tray, cutlery, and that it is insulated but still looks like a classic wicker basket.
Best budget friendly basket
So pretty! Grab it here!
So it is no secret that i love everything floral, so this one i absolutely love. Not only is this budget friendly at $59.99, it includes a few accessories like cutlery and you can also use it as a shopping basket to get real value from it. Imagine how much more elevated a farmers market trip would be with this on your arm! I just love everything about it. Shop here.
🍓What to pack for the perfect picnic
I recently wrote a blog post about Mother’s day brunch, which would also be really great as a picnic idea!
Once you have your perfect basket, the rest can be simple. The best picnics are the simple ones.
Easy and aesthetic food ideas
Croissants or baguette sandwiches
Cheese and crackers
Fresh fruit
Pasta salad and wraps
Something sweet - cookies, macarons, chocolate
When we go on picnics i love to buy treats from my local Italian grocery store, even their packaging makes the whole experience feel elevated.
Drinks
Sparkling water
Lemonade in beautiful bottles
Iced coffee
Wine, if that is your thing
Extra things to make your picnic feel luxurious
Themed napkins and other decor
Fresh flowers
A book or your journal
A portable speaker
A cute picnic blanket
