• Neoprene Bottle Totes

  

  PERFECT PICNIC GUIDE

  I’m surprised at how often we use these bottle totes. Camping, wine tasting, stowing a couple bottles of wine in the car on road trips, packing glass jars or olive oil very careful in checked luggage when we travel. It comes up.

  If you’re contemplating a purchase, we vote for the two-bottle bag for a red and a white. It spoils the picnic if you run out of wine.

  $17 at Container Store

• Nubrella

  

  This is a hands-free umbrella that doesn’t flip inside out in high wind. They’re marketing it for cities, which seems like overkill (says the California girl), but how awesome would this be as a little bit of luxury for backpackers? The site doesn’t say much about weight or whether it would clear your pack, but it’s an interesting idea for day hikes and dog walks as well.

  Thanks, Mai!
