4 Person Wicker Picnic Baskets

Spring and summer are the perfect times for enjoying the outdoors with one of our 4 person wicker picnic baskets. These quality baskets are exclusive to French Knot and have been designed with the discerning Australian customer in mind. There's nothing quite like enjoying a picnic on the beach or at the park, and a great picnic basket can make the experience so much more enjoyable and stress-free. With their elegant design and clever storage solutions, our wicker picnic hampers are perfect for every occasion, from a relaxing afternoon with family to a date with that special someone. Leave behind the days of struggling with multiple bags and spilled food, and infuse your outing with the charming nostalgia of the classic picnic experience.

What Makes a Good Picnic Basket?

A good picnic basket should have all the storage you need for both food and dinnerware, and should allow for easy transportation and access to everything inside. Any old basket isn't necessarily a good choice for using as a picnic basket, as a proper picnic basket should be durable, have a lid for keeping food fresh, and have internal organisation for a hassle-free experience. Wicker baskets are the popular choice for picnics as they are strong, durable, and have the nostalgic look of a classic picnic basket. Willow is a good choice of material as it is pliable and strong, while also being lightweight to carry. A folding or hinged lid is a must, as it protects food from the elements and from any curious animals, meaning your food will last longer.

The best picnic baskets have internal compartments and extra storage, such as straps on the inside of the lid for holding plates and cutlery, and even insulated compartments for keeping food fresh. An insulated, waterproof lining is perfect for keeping food fresh and allowing for easy clean-up of spills, and a lining that can zip closed is the best choice for keeping cold dishes at the ideal temperature for longer. At French Knot, we have a selection of gorgeous picnic baskets that maximise space and include clever features that will keep your food fresh. Our wicker baskets come with a 4 person set of plates, cups, cutlery, and serving accessories, meaning you will be well-equipped for a hassle-free experience.

Choosing the Perfect Picnic Basket

Deciding on the perfect picnic basket is as simple as considering your own style preferences. If you love the traditional, rustic look of farmhouse living or French Provincial style, we have beautiful natural willow picnic baskets in a warm caramel colour that will give that cozy, organic look. Choose a classic design with an angled lid, or go for a more contemporary look with our Windsor picnic basket - this is a wonderful piece for the contemporary Australian home. There is nothing better than a picnic on the beach, and a whitewash picnic basket is the perfect choice for evoking that breezy coastal or Hamptons feel. All our wicker picnic baskets come with insulated compartments, to ensure maximum freshness.

Packing Your Picnic Hamper

Proper organisation and packing of your picnic hamper is key to maximising space and ensuring a stress-free picnic experience. At French Knot, our picnic hampers come with clever under-lid storage straps for plates, knives, forks, and other dinnerware, making these pieces easy to access and preventing them from breaking under the weight of the food. Start with heavy containers or bottles, and place these at the bottom to create a heavy base. Place delicate items, such as sandwiches and fruit, at the top, to prevent them from getting crushed - for extra protection, place these in a container, or wrap them in paper, plastic, or fabric. Use containers and bottles with tight-fitting lids for anything that could spill, such as drinks, dip, salad, and dressing. Be sure than any items you would like to keep cold are placed in an insulated compartment or bag within the picnic hamper, and add ice packs to make sure these are kept at a safe temperature.
