5 Great Picnic Meals with the Willow Picnic Basket Set

The Willow Picnic Basket Set is like eating at the classiest restaurant in town… on the go! Popularized by Little Miss Muffet, picnic baskets gradually became uncool in the mid twentieth century. But then along came Yogi Bear, and picnic basket sales soared! And then, they fell back out of the public eye in the late 1990s. But once you pick up your Willow Set and head down to the big old oak tree in the grassy park, you’ll remember why people preferred to eat outdoors once-upon-a-time.
