There was a time when going to the mall, café or bar-hopping, or watching a movie together was the typical construct of a ‘gathering’ with loved ones. While that may still be the case now that businesses are allowed to resume operations again, some may yearn for unconventional ways to catch up and reconnect with dearly missed family and friends—especially after many months of mundane lockdowns.
Outdoor activities are particularly of interest these days, with hiking and picnicking among the more popular options. Even introverts are not lost on their appeal (at least those in this writer’s circle), considering that they’re safer than meeting up in confined spaces. If this sounds all too relatable for you, consider planning a picnic for your next date or get-together with loved ones.
Besides, picnics are the perfect setting for having a chat over food while creating new memories for your polaroid collection (or for the ‘gram). To start, you can either DIY your own picnic by following along our handy guide, or simply rent a set from one of these picnic rental services in Malaysia.
