Everybody loves a picnic. From teddy bears to Bear Grylls, who doesn't want to wrap their sarnies in a little spotted hanky as soon as the sun starts to shine? But while the rustic cloth on a stick look might have worked for Dick Whittington, it's no way to carry coleslaw in this day and age
To help the modern picnicker plan the perfect spread 4Food has put together a list of the best products on the market, from the practical to the edible. Whether you're after some student snacks to ride out a hangover in the sun or you're looking to impress the girls with an extravagant outdoor bonanza here are some suggestions to help you dine outside in style.
From Marie Antoinette to Carrie Bradshaw, ladies love to lunch and picnics are the perfect way to while away an hour or four lying in the sun catching up with mates. What is less fun, though, is lugging Tupperware boxes full of sweaty rolls up a hillside while vinaigrette overspill dribbles down your leg.

Roostlife retro cool bag
Banish your bagful of sweaty sarnies with this retro cool bag from Roostlife. The thermal lined bag includes cutlery and napkin storage and adjustable straps for £35.00.
Don't let the dwindling sun spoil your chatting - solar sun jars can be picked up from www.thisnext.com for around £18 and will soak up the light all day, providing a candle-esque solar glow into the night.

Hands-free glass stand
Ladies wouldn't be lunching without a glass of something fizzy and these hands-free wine glass holders save you the job of holding that weighty glass of champers. Available from Lakeland at £3.99 for four, simply poke them in the ground and get ready to lounge.
On the menu: Girly get-togethers are best accompanied by something light and luscious like these smoked salmon rolls washed down with a sparkling glass of Prosecco Royal.
