The fool-proof picnic basket

One of the best ways to spend your Valentine’s Day will always be a romantic picnic.

You can fill your picnic basket with a few snacks and even one or two gifts. Be creative with a romantic love letter or some music that you both enjoy.

A few basic items to remember would be a blanket, some cutlery and serviettes. When deciding on the food you would like to include, it’s always good to decide on a theme. It will simplify your choices and also save you some money.

Here are a few ideas to get you started on your own theme:

• Go Italian! Pack a crusty loaf of bread and a bottle of wine. When choosing a wine, try to get something that’s special to you as a couple. If you don’t enjoy wine, replace it with a beverage that both of you will appreciate.
• Keep it simple with finger foods. The fun and romantic part about finger foods are that you are able to feed each other! Add a variety of snacks, both healthy and sweet. Don’t forget the chocolate covered strawberries.
• Sweet and simple. Chocolate and champagne will always be a winner. You can add various desserts to enjoy. Add a few well known favourites, but try to experiment with some new chocolates and desserts that you’ve been wanting to taste, or never even heard of. After all of the sweet treats, champagne will be a champion.

Jump in the car and just drive. Spend some quality time with your sweetheart and surprise them with these amazing picnic basket ideas.
