What better way to enjoy a warm Summer’s day than by grabbing a blanket and heading out to the countryside for a picnic. It doesn’t matter whether you are enjoying a picnic with a group of friends, your loved ones or with your family a fully stocked hamper will go down well. You will want to make sure that you get the right combination of snacks and drinks for your food hamper rather than just some egg sandwiches and tea. With that in mind here are some ideas for putting together a luxury food hamper.

1. A Quiche - You want to make sure you have something substantial to keep you going and quiche is perfect. You will find a selection of different quiches available from traditional quiche lorraine to the more extravagant, which means you’ll be able to find something to suit your pallet.

2. A Nice Salad - Everyone knows that a salad is a healthy treat. A nice Greek salad can be quite refreshing but if you are a salad dodger then a potato salad might be more up your street.

3. Some Tasty Cheese - A good piece of cheese is great for a picnic. You could get your favourite cheese or a selection of different ones. The great thing about having a selection of different ones is that everyone at your picnic will be able to find something they like.

4. Something Refreshing - One thing that you will definitely need is something to drink especially on a hot day. What you choose to have really depends on the situation. Those of you that are planning on spending the day with the family would want to have a selection of different drinks to suit both young and old. If you are with your boyfriend or girlfriend then you might want to enjoy a bottle of wine togethre instead.

5. Something Sweeter - After you’ve stuffed your face with the rest of your picnic then why not finish off with something sweet for dessert. If you have children at your picnic then a selection of confectionery will go down a treat. For those of you that are a bit older you could choose to pack some cake, yoghurts or even strawberries and cream.
