It's Sunday morning. You look out your window and see clear skies. It's a shame to spoil the day by staying indoors. Just like that, you decide to have a picnic. To help you on your way, here are some tips on how to prepare and pack a picnic.

Logistics

First, you’ll need a large blanket or towel to serve as your table and seats (unless you plan to use a picnic table), as well as plenty of napkins.

Sandwiches

Requiring little preparation and packaging, sandwiches make for the perfect main course of a picnic. You can put some together at your home (packaged in plastic wrap, foil, or a container) or pick them up at a deli or kiosk.
