Gather a band of merrymakers and seize upon the first grassy patch you find.
 | Cutups Don’t be a barbarian just because you’re sitting on the ground. Hand out personal cutlery sets ($4.50) to fellow picnickers. These are wood and come in a printed paper pouch. |
 | Stain Removal Dab that driblet of mustardy goodness from your mouth with a handmade linen or cotton napkin (two for $30). The cheery prints brighten any meager deli spread. |
 | Lounge Act Two of our favorite stores plus one awesome NYC designer equals this Salvor x Kiosk x Project No. 8 chair ($89). It’s graphic, lightweight, and easy to carry. |
 | Serious Air Kites are swell, but if you prefer something more interactive, try assembling this rubber-band-powered balsa wood Artful Flyer ($9). When the party’s over, display it on a shelf. |
 | Pillow Talk These colorful throw pillows ($80-$110) will look great on your couch or the lawn. Made by Brooklynite Kara Green from dead stock Pendelton fabric, they’re rugged enough to be tossed around the park. |
