Picnic Blanket

You can’t have a picnic without a great blanket. Instead of raiding your linen closet for a blanket that you don’t mind roughing up a little, invest in a blanket that is specifically made for picnics. The Sunshine Riviera Picnic Blanket has heavy-duty waterproof backing and a polyester fleece interior. It also has Velcro closures and includes a handle when the blanket is folded.
