5 Ways to Make the Most of Seaside Picnics

Swedish summers always involve seaside picnics, or at least seaside fika (coffee and buns)! Here are a few ways you can make the most of your next coastal jaunt, wherever you are.

1. Bring something to sit on - a sit cushion (like the ones you can put also on top of your wooden kitchen chairs) will make spending hours on the rocks more comfortable. Why not bring a blanket to cosy up too?

2. Lay out your snacks or meal on a lovely table cloth or picnic blanket

3. Transport everything in a chic basket or two

4. Bread baskets are lightweight and make a lovely display. Don’t forget the fresh bread!

5. Sip from proper mugs or glasses when possible, as it will lift your experience (think about wine in a plastic cup vs in a proper glass - oh yes it makes a difference!). Make sure to bring a thermos or bottle of something nice.
