For $25, that’s not bad. Seems like it would be a great solution for something spontaneous. Although, I have to agree with Adine that an investment in something like a real basket would be a better idea.

Nurturing some paint-by-numbers whimsy sounds like a lusty afternoon to me, but I agree with you Adine – washable utensils and reusable picnic baskets would be the most responsible thing to do. But I never fault a product for being compostable, recyclable, made from recycled materials, and encouraging responsible consumers to head outdoors (and then recycle and compost the product).

REALLY?!?! How about using a picnic basket that can’t be thrown away – like wicker? And plates, cups and utensils that can be washed (GASP, washing? work?) and reused. The drawing thing? Bring some paper from the copier/printer at work that some knucklehead threw out and write on the back. Sheesh. Just because it’s recyclable, doesn’t mean people will actually recycle it. This is just an invitation for lazy people to pack a picnic and throw it in the park’s trash cans – along with everyone’s disposable water bottles.
