Ideas With Hamper Picnic Baskets

If you intend to go on a date and you want to make it truly romantic, you should invest in great picnic hamper baskets. You have the option of purchasing a ready-made one, which will contain everything you could possibly need. However, if you already have a basket anyway, you may as well make your own, thereby also guaranteeing that your date will find something that they like.

Picnic are incredibly romantic, but only if you have all the bear necessities. A picnic blanket, for instance, is vital. You have to make sure that it has a waterproof bottom, because grass has a tendency to get wet. Blankets are not just there to keep the wetness out, however. They also increase levels of comfort and they simply look great. Additionally, you need cutlery. You have to be able to cut your different foods, have something to wipe your hands on and glasses to drink out of. Additionally, bring a rubbish bag, so that you don't find yourself having to leave your garbage in nature (that is a sure mood killer on a date).

Next, you have to make sure you get the food right. Make sure you know whether your date has any special dietary requirements and take these into consideration (don't bring pate to a vegetarian, for instance). Also, never make assumptions. A lot of people don't like butter or margarine, for instance, so it may be a better idea to bring separate buns and fillings, or to simply not put butter on. The last thing you want is for someone to really not be able to eat what you have offered. Cheese is always a good idea, but make sure you bring many different ones. Some should be creamy and others more sharp. Some fruits and vegetables are also a great idea, but don't get too presumptuous and bring strawberries and cream, cherries, bananas or other highly suggestive foods. Stick to apples, grapes and satsumas, for instance. Crackers are also a great idea, as well as anything else that passes for finger food.

It may be tempting to bring a bottle of wine or champagne with you. However, there are a lot of people who do not drink wine. To make sure everybody is happy, it is best to ask whether they like a specific type of wine that you are considering. You may want to keep the contents of your picnic a surprise, but you really aren't giving anything way by asking if wine is ok and, if so, which kind of wine. Champagne is almost always a good idea, but also very expensive. Beer is not overly romantic so if you aren't sure on the correct alcoholic drink, it is often better to stick to fruit juices and maybe have a little hip flask with vodka or rum just in case they do like that. In general, people would prefer drinking something neutral like a juice or soda than to drink nothing at all.
