But what makes an outstanding picnic? Here are the top 10 things you need to make your next spring picnic stand out:

Original Finska Outdoor Game
Finska is still one of our all time favourite picnic games. The game stems from a log-tossing context in cold, forested Finland; but these days we’ve exchanged Vikings for happy picnickers, and snowy ice-capped mountains for sunny parks. The game is sure to test your aim and spark some friendly competition.
