Fall foliage, a soft picnic blanket and good company — that’s really all you need for a good fall picnic. Nothing beats eating a delicious meal under the shade of a tree as the leaves change color. But if you want to take your picnic from good to great, a few key accessories can turn your leaf-peeping snack into a stellar autumn repast. QVC’s broad selection and curated product categories make shopping for your outdoor outing easy and convenient.
Here are a few tips for creating a perfect fall picnic.
The rundown
- A picnic can be the highlight of your week and can be done without a ton of prep.
- Simplify your picnic planning by using convenient tools from QVC for quick cooking and easy transportation.
- High-quality, sealable containers prevent spills and messes, keeping your food presentation perfect.
Tip 1: Prep your picnic at home
Making your picnic stellar while keeping the prep almost effortless starts with a stress-free shopping stop at QVC. Whether you saw it in action on TV or you’re starting your search from scratch, you’ll find everything from bento boxes to air fryers at QVC, all carefully curated from top brands such as Ninja, KitchenAid, Caraway and more.
An air fryer makes prep easy and quick. Pop a few chicken wings in the Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer Cooking System, and within minutes, you'll have perfectly cooked finger food ready to go in the picnic basket. It even comes with two storage lids, so once your food is cooked, simply pop the tops on the cooking containers and head out the door.
Complement your wings with a healthy salad. Use the Nordic Ware 2-in-1 Colander & Bowl Set to rinse and drain your lettuce and veggies, and then nest the colander right inside the bowl.
Tip 2: Transport food leak-free
Nothing puts a damper on your perfectly planned picnic like a soggy picnic basket. Make sure all your prepped foods stay fresh and safely sealed within JoyFul by JoyJolt Glass Leakproof Storage Containers. This 24-piece set comes with every size you’ll need, and the snap lids ensure nothing leaks out and makes a feast for the ants instead of your picnic companions.
Sometimes a picnic for one is all you need. If you’re snacking solo, try the Caraway Home 6.6-Cup Glass Food Container with Lid to seal in the freshness and keep your backpack leak-free. It’s the perfect size for a sandwich and some crunchy snacks on the side.
Tip 3: Bring the kitchen with you
Fresh food is always the best. Remember the salad you prepped earlier? Use the RSVP Deluxe Citrus Juicer to add zest. Just twist a lemon on the juicer and let the fresh-squeezed lemon juice take your salad up a notch.
If salad is your spotlight meal, then be sure to take the KitchenAid Gourmet Multi-Function Can Opener along with you. It’s small yet mighty, allowing you to quickly open cans of artichokes, olives and other salad fixins’ with ease. It even features a bottle opener so you can sip a beer or soda while you prep.
It’s really possible to take the kitchen with you. Whip up a refreshing smoothie with KitchenAid’s Go Cordless Personal Blender. It’s small enough to stow in your backpack, and with up to 20 minutes of runtime, you can turn some berries, veggies and juice into a cool beverage to counter the afternoon heat. It even comes with a lid so you can safely store any leftovers on the way home.
