Red, White And Blue Chevron Picnic / Beach Collection
Portable Beach Chair • | Shade Umbrella • | Market Basket Collapsible Tote •
These picnic collections are perfect for heading to the beach, park or pool for the entire day or just a few hours.
When you are heading potluck picnic or barbecue a handy dish tote is essential. I love this Potluck Casserole Tote • It has a non-insulated top compartment to store utensils or shelf stable food items. The tote has comfort handles for sturdy grip.
Lounging around watching the kids? Beachcomber • is a fully extendable lounge chair that is light weight and portable. I just wish I had owned one sooner, for all those summers heading we spent at the Russian river. We’d spend entire days swimming and playing on the beach until the fog would roll in.
Just heading to the pool or park for a few hours? It’s not necessary to bring a cooler when you have something like the Hermosa Cooler Tote • which has double straps for handheld or should use. Water-resistant interior liner makes things easy for cleaning out to keep your bag fresh. Toss in your ice pack, juice boxes/drinks and snacks. Don’t forget your wipes for kid clean ups and your good to go!
