On a warm Summers day there is nothing better than some good food and drink to enjoy on a picnic.  Whether you are enjoying a picnic with a loved one, your family or with a group of friends you want to have a picnic hamper that will impress.  You will want to make sure that you get the right combination of snacks and drinks for your hamper rather than just some egg sandwiches and tea.  With that in mind here are some ideas for putting together a luxury food hamper.

1. Something To Help You Cool Off - If you are planning your picnic on a hot day then you are going to need something to drink.  What you choose to have really depends on the situation.  Those of you that are planning on spending the day with the family would want to have a selection of different drinks to suit both young and old.  If you are with your boyfriend or girlfriend then you might want to enjoy a bottle of wine togethre instead.

2. Cheese - Cheese is a tasty yet simple food to take on a picnic.  You might want to buy a couple of your favourite cheeses or you may want to get a selection.  The great thing about having a selection of different ones is that everyone at your picnic will be able to find something they like.

3. Quiche - It is important to make sure you have a decent bit of food to eat and quiche is a great accompaniment to most other snacks.  You will find a selection of different quiches available from traditional quiche lorraine to the more extravagant, which means you’ll be able to find something to suit your pallet.

4. Something Healthy - Everyone knows that a salad is a healthy treat.  A nice Greek salad can be quite refreshing but if you are a salad dodger then a potato salad might be more up your street.

5. Something Sweeter - After you’ve stuffed your face with the rest of your picnic then why not finish off with something sweet for dessert.  For children you will want to have a selection of different sweets, just make sure you don’t give them too many.  If your tastes are more mature then you will want to have some muffins, cookies or perhaps a chocolate torte.
