GUWAHATI: With the advent of the New Year, the picnic season also begins. Picnics are enjoyed by children and adults alike as everyone enjoys a day out together. It provides a nice diversion from our daily routine as it gives us a chance to relax our minds and unwind outdoors with our friends and family. It is a great bonding experience as people engage in physical activities and play games.
However, there are a few essentials to remember while planning a picnic, which include:
•Picnic Mats/Sheets: One of the most basic items to carry would be a picnic mat or a sheet, which would offer a safe and comfortable place to sit and would protect us from dirt, sand and insects.
•Napkins and Sanitisers: Napkins and sanitisers are of great importance as things can get messy quickly at picnics so it’s important to have napkins and wipes on hand for cleaning and maintaining hygiene.
•Bug Sprays: Bug sprays can help us to protect ourselves from dangerous mosquitoes which can wreak havoc on us anytime and are especially dangerous if kids are present.
•Sunscreen: While packing for a day-long picnic, it is important to pack sunscreen to prevent sunburn and tanning during the picnic.
•First-Aid Box: It is very important to carry a first-aid kit which will help us from in case of injuries by providing proper care in case an accident happens. Some of the items that should be in the first-aid kit are antiseptics, bandages, gauze pads and disposable gloves.
•Trash Bags: Trash bags are of utmost importance to pick up the leftover food and trash and to throw them away in a responsible manner so that there is no waste left behind and our picnic spot retains its beauty.
•Drinks and Fluids: It is very vital to carry a package of drinking items which includes water and Glucon-D as it will help us to stay hydrated and will ensure that we are refreshed while playing around under the sun.
•Portable Speaker: While on a picnic, it is necessary to carry a portable speaker to set the vibe and ambiance at the picnic spot by playing a curated music playlist and creating a happy and lively environment for everyone.
Picnics are great for reigniting love and forming bonds with one another while providing a boost to our mental and physical health and helping to break the monotony of our daily lives. As such, it is very important to remember these essentials while planning your picnic for the safety of you and your picnic group so you can have a good time and a successful picnic.
