Shopping Trolley with Fold Down Seat

Not only that, but this shopping trolley also has a fold down seat attached to it, so you have somewhere to rest if there are no picnic tables available and sitting down on the picnic mat just isn’t an option for you.

Non Spill Cup

What’s a picnic without a refreshing drink? If your grip isn’t as strong as you’d like, you may find the Non Spill Cup a useful drinking aid. It’s been designed with deep grooves all the way around the cup that helps to make it easier to grip.

To help avoid spills, it has a lid with a wide drinking spout and an ingenious valve that helps to create a vacuum inside the cup. The vacuum created by the valve also helps to make it easier for you to control the flow of liquid, so you could even use it when laying down.

Easy Open Food Containers

A picnic wouldn’t be a picnic without the delicious food to eat. Picnics tend to a time of Tupperware, of foil-wrapped sandwiches, and plastic bags, however, if you’re finding it difficult to open food containers you may need an alternative solution.

As the name suggests, the Easy Open Food Containers are designed to be easier to open than other food containers as there’s no turning or twisting needed to get the lids off. Instead you only need to press your hand or finger against the circle on the lid to open it. They’re a great option for helping to keep food fresh.

Uriwell Unisex Travel Urinal

Not every picnic spot comes with a handily available public toilet – or in some cases, a public toilet that is actually open and not just permanently locked. To help avoid getting caught out partway through your picnic, you may want to consider getting a travel urinal. The Uriwell Unisex Travel Urinal is uniquely designed so it can be used by virtually anyone.

When not in use, this travel urinal collapses down so it can be stored away in your bag. Once expanded, it can hold up to 750ml and has a hermetically sealed lid to help minimise odours and spilling. You may also want to take a blanket with you for privacy if there isn't a secluded area nearby where you can use it out of sight of others.
