Grab the red gingham blanket and pack up your favorite al fresco foods—it’s International Picnic Day. Celebrate by snatching up one of these chic baskets. (We'll note here that International Picnic Day isn't recognized by Congress as a national holiday, but we assume that is an oversight on their part.)

Picnic at Ascot Pinot Wine & Cheese Cooler for Two

Credit: Courtesy of The Picnic World

This isn’t your granny's picnic basket. This backpack-style carryall lets you bring your wine and cheese stash (complete with knife, cutting board and carved metal stopper) along for the ride. While the inner cooler was designed with holsters for up to two bottles and two glasses, we spy plenty of room to squeeze in one more round (or, say, a baguette or bottle of water), should the situation call for it. Available at thepicnicworld.com, $54.40.

With custom colored weavings, you can easily fold it into your at-home decor long after you’ve folded up your blanket. Available at amishbasketsandbeyond.com, $75.

Multicolor Woven Basket

Credit: Courtesy of Target

Packing an ideal picnic doesn’t have to hit your wallet too hard. This bright basket will carry your edibles, wipes clean and is nearly impossible to mistake for somebody else's once it’s time to haul it out of the park. And at this price point, you’ll have extra cash leftover to fill it with some truly fantastic treats (like, say, these custom ice cream flavors) before heading out the door. Available at target.com, $14.99.
