A stylish picnic rug is a must have accessory for outdoor dining.

Laying out a picnic rug and enjoying the great outdoors has become a sought after activity after much of the year was in lockdown.

Not only is it an affordable set up, the kids love it and with social distancing in place, a picnic rug defines the space.

Now I don’t own a picnic basket… although I do have a Tupperware Esky I use once a year when I have to bring a plate to share. I tend to be the type to pack the picnic rug in the car and buy food at our destination. Whether it be fish and chips or some other food delight that can be easily transported to our location.

Our picnic blanket fell apart earlier this year due to age and general wear and tear. We had it for 14 years, so it did good innings.

I asked mum to get a replacement for me for my Birthday. The tartan/plaid picnic mat is probably one of the most popular picnic blankets and every family has one in the garage or storage room I’m sure. It’s the perfect picnic rug with it’s black waterproof backing.

But there is something delightful about a stylish picnic rug which sets a relaxed scene the moment they are placed on the ground.

They can be used at home, under the alfresco area or rolled up and taken to the park or on a local holiday for a relaxed lunch.

A picnic is a budget friendly way to enjoy dining out. If you do buy your food at your destination, you will be supporting local business too.

If you want to create a modern vibe with your picnic to set the ‘atmosphere’, these blankets are sure to do that.

I remember looking everywhere online for a “Hello” door mat for the front of our house. When I finally sourced one, I ended up winning a similar one through Kirsten & Co. I only just placed it outside now to replace our old door mat.
