I put together this picnic marriage survival kit as a wedding gift for some family friends. I wanted to give them something practical and useful. I knew they liked to visit parks and figured they'd need food to take along on their visits.
I found the original idea here and made my own version. I couldn't find a cute picnic basket so I used a picnic cooler bag instead which is probably a lot more practical anyway.
From there, I gathered items that I thought would be useful in a picnic basket (all found at Walmart).
I printed up tags to tie in with each item. I wanted it to be fun and whimsical too so I added bubbles and a frisbee to the other picnic pieces.
The items I included were:
a picnic blanket (cuddle up)
non breakable plates and utensils (serve each other)
ice pack (keep your cool)
bubbles(stay bubbly)
bug spray(keep the bugs away)
frisbee (play)
I bought some ribbon to tie the labels on with. I needed two spools total.
I packed it all up in the cooler bag and added a tag that said "Life Is a Picnic: Marriage Survival Kit". I used that as the gift tag too and wrote them a message on the back of it.
I thought it turned out really cute! I hope they get a lot of use out of it.
Let's keep in touch!

That is an extra special gift. What a wonderful idea.
I agree that the bag is nicer than a hard cooler. It's a great present that shows you put some thought and effort into your gift. Best wishes!

I love your idea. Yes, a cooler bag is far better than a basket.
