Thinking Outside the Picnic Box for National Picnic Week
Mow Before You Chow!
There’s nothing worse than spiky grass sneaking its way onto your sarnies. Get your garden in shape before you lay down the blanket with a little help from STIGA’s A4 or A8 robot mowers. They do all the hard work quietly, in fact, STIGA is the only brand of robotic mowers awarded the Quiet Mark, so you can enjoy peaceful prep time while your lawn gets party-ready.
Your garden picnic haven awaits…no travel required!
Top Tips for a Top-Notch Picnic
Pick Your Spot Like a Pro
Find a shady corner, maybe under a leafy tree, with a great view. It’ll keep you cool and protect your food from turning into a gooey mess.
Think Outside the (Picnic) Box
Sandwiches are great, but why not spice things up? Homemade pizzas (pre-sliced), stuffed pittas with dips, or chilled overnight nibbles bring a whole new vibe to your spread.
Smoothies are great for picnics too!
Make them the night before and store in the fridge — they’ll be cool, fresh, and ready to grab on your way out.
Pack Smart
Dreamy wicker baskets are lovely in theory, but in real life? A cool box or snazzy picnic backpack is your best bet (plus, built-in cooler compartments = game changer).
Use a board to keep cutting steady
Cutting bread on your lap is never ideal. Bring along a chopping board or a few trays to keep things steady on your blanket.
Savour the Sunshine
We may not get sunshine all year round, but that just makes these golden picnic moments even sweeter. So kick off your shoes, dig into the treats, and celebrate National Picnic Week the STIGA way….but always remember the sunscreen and sun hat!
Unbox the mower. Unroll the blanket. Unleash the fun.
