Picnics mean lot of fun with family or friends. The very thought of heading out for a picnic spells happiness and relief.

Once decided, one will have to jot down a list of things he/she would need. Besides some obvious things like snacks, cookies, wine and water, one would need a picnic blanket or beach blanket.

Designs and Sizes :

Beach and picnic blankets come in varied designs and sizes. If one is going for a picnic with the whole army, there are large blankets. One the other hand, if only two lovers are planning to go, there are smaller versions. Also, they come in different weights. The apparent disadvantage of the heavier ones is that they are bulky and somewhat embarrassing to carry and move around with. Today there is a diverse range of compact and light blankets available.

Features :

Another important consideration while choosing beach and picnic blankets is whether they are waterproof or not. It is advisable that one goes in for waterproof ones. There are two aspects to it.
