Five Essential Paper Items for Picnics and Outings
Summer is the
time for picnics and outings. Preparing for a picnic is not as fun as it may
sound and people often overlook many essential items while packing for an
outing. This guide will help you shortlist the essentials you should carry to
make the picnic trouble-free and enjoyable.
Paper Napkins
Spills and
messes are part of every picnic and you would need lots and lots of paper napkins. Have a hefty supply of quality facial tissues and napkins. Our suggested
brands are Scott, Andrex or Cotonelle, all three from the house of
Kimberly-Clark. If you have a generous budget, you may go for Kleenex, the
ultimate choice in paper napkins.
Disposable
Plates
There are many
varieties of disposable plate but the most economy is associated with paper
plates. Regular paper plates are available for as low as £2.30 per pack of 100
plates. If you intend to have greasy food, grease resistant paper plates are
available at £6.00 per pack of 100. Paper disposable plates are also ideal for
picnics as they light-weight and less bulky to transport. Make sure you do not
litter the picnic spot with used plates. Instead, dispose them off responsibly
and safely after use.
Paper Cups
You would also
need lots of disposable cups. A wide variety of disposable cups are available
but again, cost wise, paper cups are the best. You may opt for biodegradable cups if you are sensitive about the environment. Styrofoam cups are also good
options as they are as lightweight as paper products but more resistant to
heat, making them ideal for hot beverages to retain their heat and cold drinks
to remain cool for longer duration. Try as much as possible to avoid plastic
cups for picnics because disposing off of plastic waste is a serious problem at
all popular picnic spots.
Paper Table
Clothes
For better
hygiene and an even more enjoyable outing, have a good supply of paper table
cloths ready with you while going for picnics. These will not only serve as
table clothes but might even come handy for many other applications during the
outing, such as laying down on the grass before settling down to idle. Paper
table clothes may also be useful for packing left over food supplies. Dispotex
and Lotus Professional are some suggested brands that are cheap and best.
Disposable
Cutlery
Carrying
silverware out for camping is not always practical. Instead, opt for disposable
cutlers. Plastic and wooden disposable spoons and forks are available but we
suggest plastic as they are more economic and causes less harm to the nature
than using wooden items. A set of 6” white coloured plastic spoons, forks,knives and tea spoons come for as low as £1.28 for a pack of 100. Wooden
cutlery, which offers more elegant will cost you a minimum of £3.65 for a
similar quantity.
