Whim Loves: Extra Large Picnic Rugs by Bask

With this week marking the beginning of August, our minds are beginning to anticipate the transition into spring which is now just a few weeks away!

For us, spring means a whole lot of exciting things, with picnics in the sunshine being at the very top of this list.

As any picnic lover would know, one of the first priorities of this leisurely activity would be a comfortable and stylish picnic rug that’s large enough to accommodate your friends and delectable spread of food. Our go-to source for the perfect picnic rug would have to be Australian-owned online store Bask, which specializes in premium picnic rugs and blankets.

Now, when we talk about premium picnic rugs, they’re certainly not your average, run-of-the-mill product! Available in 5 different stylish designs, these picnic rugs contain a specially-made fabric which won’t develop those unsightly creases that we all love to hate.

The premium range also has several other features to cater for the Australian environment including water-proof material so they can be used on any surface and can be easily cleaned with a hose. This allows users to bring their durable picnic rug to the beach, plus they won’t have to worry about placing it on wet or muddy grass. Also, any accidental spills certainly won’t mean the end of the picnic, as these will run straight off the waterproof material (or easily be hosed off later!).

One of our favourite designs from the premium range would have to be the Byron Extra Large Picnic Rug (pictured above), as we love its nautical inspired blue and white stripes which just scream of summer. Like all of the premium designs, this picnic rug also has a concealed zipped pocket underneath so you can store your valuables away from ill-intentioned eyes.

We love the fact that each premium picnic rug comes with its own matching carry bag (pictured below), meaning that it’s incredibly easy to fold up, carry, and store securely. With these super spacious picnic blankets measuring 2.3m x 1.6m, trust us, easy storage and transportation certainly matters a lot!

Another admirable quality of Bask is the fact that the idea for these premium picnic rugs came from wanting to encourage people to get outside more often. In the inspiring words of Bask, they explain:

“We believe that experiences shouldn’t be played out through Facebook or Instagram feeds, they should be lived, breathed and relished…At Bask we’re on a mission to get kids and adults alike outside and spending more time exploring the wonderful world of nature. For us, a picnic is an opportunity to enjoy the best things in life.”
