TAKE-OUT:  Guys, it doesn’t get more romantic than a picnic dinner in the park.  …And at a fraction of the price of a fancy resto.  Bonus!  We love the Picnic Time Oxford Picnic Basket from Walmart for setting the perfect casual-chic mood.  Fully lined, it comes complete with tumblers, flatware and plates for just $58.46.

GET COZY:  Who needs white tablecloths when you can enjoy your fair-weather spread on the American Living Block Island Quilt?  In classic red, white and blue checks and stripes, it’s beautiful, reversible and – the best part – on sale right now for $79.99.  Available online from JC Penney.

SIP AND SWIRL:  The Two Bottle Neoprene Wine Tote Bag wraps up the final element of your perfect outdoor date in style.  This sleek, insulated tote features detachable shoulder straps and double gel packs for keeping vino nice and cool.  It’s also on sale right now for just $19.99 from Wine Enthusiast.  (Chardonnay sold separately.)
 

This little beauty is a date-in-a-box - just add...

Slip into something more comfortable tonight.

Take your vino to go with this smart little tote.
