Garden Patio Pets Braai Outdoor Cooking | Picnic Baskets Backpacks

At Bob Shop, we love nothing more than eating outdoors, so we make sure that we keep everything we need in a picnic basket or backpack. The minute summer arrives, you’ll find us on the beach or in our gardens, cooking up a storm or chilling with drinks and snacks.

There’s nothing wrong with being completely spontaneous, but have you ever noticed how all the best moments in life require a little bit of pre-planning? That’s where Bob Shop’s range of picnic baskets and backpacks come in handy. Apart from the food, you can have everything prepared in advance so you’re ready to dine al fresco at a moment’s notice.

(Don’t forget, we also sell picnic blankets for added comfort, and folding picnic furniture to take your outdoor eating up a notch).

Dedicated picnic baskets feature clever compartments for all your accessories, including cutlery, plates and even wine glasses. We have backpacks for coffee breaks, and backpacks big enough for your entire family to enjoy a picnic together.

Naturally, they’re easy to carry – comfortable straps and padding will help you almost forget there’s any weight on your back at all.

For a more traditional vibe, opt for a stylish picnic basket to keep all your treats in. They’re not really designed to be carried far, but they have enough space inside for you to create a really impressive spread. In other words, they’re perfect for when you’re trying to impress a date, or feed a whole bunch of hungry kids.

The latest designs combine the looks and practicality of a picnic basket with the insulation of a cooler box, so your food will still be in tip-top condition when you reach the top of the mountain or that shady spot down by the stream.

It ain’t heavy
Picnic backpacks let you make light work of getting all your food and outdoor eating equipment to the perfect picnic spot. Some of the backpacks on Bob Shop come preloaded with plates, cutlery, glasses and napkins (more proof that we think of everything). We also have options that let you choose exactly what to take – in other words, everything but the kitchen sink!

It’s time to chill
For the best of both worlds, choose a picnic cooler basket – loads of space for yummy food and refreshing drinks, plus you can squeeze in a few ice packs to keep everything cool even when the sun gets hot. They’re insulated to maintain the perfect temperature for longer, and have waterproof linings so you can use ice cubes for cooling, then tip the water out when they melt.

Near or far
Whether you’re having a braai in your back garden, or hiking in the Berg, our picnic baskets and backpacks are the perfect way to pack and carry everything you could possibly need. Keep a picnic braai set in your kitchen or garage and all your braai tongs and utensils will be close at hand at all times, so you can be ready to fire things up any time you get the urge to cook on coals.

Get organised
Everything in its place and a place for everything – that’s exactly what you get with pre-packed picnic backpacks. Now you’ll never forget a tin opener or corkscrew again, and you’ll always have a knife for your butter and a fork for your olives.
