Summer Picnic Inspiration With Thrift Finds
Spending extra time outdoors in the sunshine is one of the best things about summer. When it’s nice out, Buffalonians find any excuse to get outside — walks, runs, or reading in the park. Throwing together a casual picnic, whether it’s just for a party of one or for a group of friends, is a fun way to get outside. Getting people together in the fresh air feels extra special, and when you can do it in a park, you can host without the hassle of getting your home cleaned up and ready for guests.
Picnics in particular are a summer favorite. They’re low pressure, you can bring together a random assortment of servers, cups, utensils and food and it still feels like an elevated experience because you are doing it outdoors on the cushion of your picnic blanket or picnic table. Picnics don’t need to break the bank, especially when you shop for your go-to picnic accessories at the Hearts Thrift Stores.
What to Look for: The Hearts Thrift Stores is your first stop when shopping for just about anything. In part, it’s because you’ll be able to find amazing quality items at incredible prices. For instance, you can find designer items that you wouldn’t think about buying at retail prices. At the same time, you’ll find a lot of inspiration at the Heart Thrift Stores. Even when you’re not shopping for a set list, you can browse the racks and find something that will be useful in the future. One of those items might be a wicker basket. On picnic days, it comes along as a great way to organize and hold different items.
Shopping at the Hearts Thrift Stores can bring a lot of joy through the pleasant surprises of what you may find. It also helps to know that both shopping at and donating items to Hearts results in giving back to those in need in your community. The proceeds from the Hearts Thrift Stores go towards buying food and supplies for the Hearts for the Homeless® outreach programs.
This summer, explore new parks in your neighborhood or soak up the sun right in your own backyard. Getting that beautiful vitamin D feeling is one of the things to love most about summer in Western New York.
