Packing for a fishing trip or a chill picnic at the beach? Handy items like storage boxes and foldable chairs are perfect for any outdoor occasion.
When life gets hectic, off to nature we go. Need a break from the city buzz? Spend time in the great outdoors to slow things down, take a breather, practice self-care, and reconnect with your family and friends. We recommend camping under the stars, having a picnic by the beach, exploring a lush hiking trail, and trying your hand at fishing or prawning. Of course, you’ll want to pack the proper outdoor essentials before you head out. Read on for our checklist – including must-haves like snacks and storage boxes!
Put the ‘fun’ in functional outdoor essentials
When it’s just you and nature, you want to be prepared for anything. No matter which activity you choose, make sure you have the relevant essentials like a camping tent, sleeping bags, foldable camp chairs, and a pretty picnic mat for the ‘gram. You’ll also need outdoor gear like breezy, lightweight clothes, a safari hat, shades, a hardy backpack, and comfy shoes. It’s all about that adventurous explorer look. Don’t forget the sunscreen, water bottles and insect repellent, too!
Handy storage boxes to keep everything you need
Stuck on how to lug everything to the beach? Fret not, we have an easy solution: storage boxes. We’re loving Muji’s newly-redesigned strong polypropylene storage box in four sizes for all your needs. Make your outdoor experience hassle-free with this light yet sturdy box. It’s stackable and comes with an easy-to-carry handle. It can even be turned into a table by flipping over the lid and adding a wooden tray, or a chair if you plop the lid on and sit (it can take a weight of up to 100kg).
This item is totally versatile: it’s an all-in-one table, storage box and stool, and can be paired with other Muji products for compartmentalising. Take it from indoors to outdoors without a hitch – you’ll be packing all your stuff in this nifty box, no sweat!
Whether you’re going camping, fishing or picnicking at the beach, the portable box can be brought anywhere. You can even pack in your entertainment for the day! We’re talking about mini speakers to blast your favourite tunes, board games for a lazy afternoon and sports gear for a sweat sesh. We love how the water-resistant material makes it easy to clean as well. Tip: if you’re having a family day out, you can chuck all those sand toys into the box and have the kids customise it with cute stickers.
When the hunger pangs come calling
What’s a picnic or camping trip without food? Pack your reusables and be kind to the Earth. Things to bring include lunch boxes, mugs, tumblers, cutlery and all the tidbits your heart desires. Our go-to will always be Muji for all that plus sweet and savoury nibbles, drinks and candies. From cookies and biscuits to chocolate and cakes to potato chips and rice crackers, there’s something for every snacker.
