When you hear the word picnic, what are some of the images that conjure up in your mind? Very likely, you’re thinking of sandwiches, hamburgers, potato salad, fried chicken, and a host of other foods. Today, however, picnics can be less elaborate affairs. Today, many would prefer to eat out at a restaurant, café, or diner instead of toiling in a kitchen for hours preparing picnic food. Yet, the idea of the outdoors with a blanket spread out and a picnic basket is still appealing. For that there is a solution: A picnic tea set. This allows you attend outdoor events without having to go all out preparing food and carrying a big load. The idea of a picnic tea set is to sit back and enjoy coffee or tea with snack foods.
So what is a picnic tea set? Picnic tea sets appear similar to an ordinary picnic basket only smaller and with less room to carry loads of items. Typically, they carry miniature plates, utensils, coffee cups, and a thermos for coffee or hot tea. They also come complete with napkins and tablecloths if you’re setting it on a table. There is also room for some food such as cupcakes and fruit.
The idea of owning a picnic basket tea set is not to serve a meal but to enjoy coffee or tea with some snack foods to enjoy with your beverage. It is ideal for a couple of people who may have already had brunch or dinner and are out to enjoy a summer afternoon or evening at an outdoor concert. One advantage of carrying this type of picnic set to a concert is that it saves you time, money and fighting through a crowd trying to buy coffee, other bevarages at a concession stand.
As with regular picnic sets, the price of purchasing a picnic tea set varies. Typically, the price is about the same as a regular picnic set even though the wares inside the basket are smaller. The price for a picnic tea set for 2, for example, can cost about $90.00 which includes a handsome wicker case. Though it may seem pricey it first, just think what it would cost everytime you’re at a concession stand buying snacks and beverages. Buying beverages and food at a couple of concerts will quickly cost you more than a $90.00 picnic tea set. It really is worth the investment buying a picnic tea set.
