Sunday is usually family day – it’s when all members of the family, however busy during the week, ideally come together to spend some much-needed quality time with each other. A picnic is a great bonding adventure for everyone! It involves good food, fresh air and maybe even some outdoor games! Every picnic requires a big picnic blanket and a picnic basket full of delicious snacks! You can actually make one yourself and draw inspiration from this selection of 10 DIY picnic baskets!
