Make the most of sunny days by spreading out a picnic blanket and enjoying an al fresco lunch. Keep a rolled-up rug in the boot of your car for impromptu visits to the park or beach. A waterproof backing means it won't get soggy on dewy grass and can be wiped clean after use. Choose a design with a handle to make it easy to carry on day trips, and remember that while a knitted wool throw is perfect for couples, it can be wrapped around shivering kids after the sun goes down, too.
