Here are my favourite items to take when you want to enjoy food outside of home. The best things are to be enjoyed over and over again and not to be thrown away after one use.

Reusable TAKE-AWAY dishes

I love these Muurla enamel mugs to pack as reusable mugs for a hike or just for a walk in the forest. Simple ones to hang from the backpack strings. Pour in some tea from a thermos, scoop water from the stream, or enjoy your hot beverage on the side of the ice skating rink.

Reusable straws

At our house, these metallic straws are good for iced mint lattes, iced teas, and even for light smoothies! Simple to wash and easy to take with you as well for a picnic. Don’t know about you, but anything is more fun to drink with a straw, as my daughter would tell you!

These metallic straws are a mixture of a long spoon and a straw, so they are perfect for mixing drinks with ice.
