I recently snapped a photo of our picnic blanket during a family outing and I noticed that everything in the photo has been recommended by Practically Apparent. If your family also loves dining al fresco, check out these top three recommendations.

J.J. Cole Picnic Blanket: We’ve had our folding picnic blanket for more than a decade. Yet it looks almost as good as new, and works even better. We use this weatherproof mat for all sorts of outings. From picnics in the park to trips to the beach, we love the portable nature and ease of use. It takes up next to no room to store safely inside, and packs up in a flash. Choose from multiple colors and patterns and watch it become your family’s go-to picnic item.

Sun Hat: If you’ve got kids and the weather calls for sunshine, make sure you have one of these sun hats. They come in bright pink and blue, making it easy to spot your child from a distance. The chin strap keeps it from blowing off, whether kids ride in a stroller or carrier, ride their bike, or run amok. The sun activated designs means kids will want to wear them, and they pack up easily to go anywhere you travel.

Plug-In Car Cooler Bag: This insulated bag not only keeps food cool and fresh, but it can survive long car rides thanks to the plug-in fan. The small front pocket stores the car adapter, which works with almost any car power source. Pack it full of your family’s favorite cold treats, and rest assured no matter how long the journey, you can enjoy unspoiled snacks and meals once you arrive at your destination.
