Ah, May, how we love you and the bank holidays you bring. Did you know that this May in particular we've got more Monday's off than we do on? Long weekends all round, how fab. So this week on the blog, we're celebrating that and all that comes with it. Get-togethers, barbecues, coffee with friends or even just a chance to decompress for an extra day. So whether you've got plans or it's just normal working hours for you, then here's some goodies to help you make the most of not just a bank holiday weekend, but any day off in warmer weather.

For the get-togethers

An Asta Barrington tray is a great way of adding an extra touch of fun to any summer get-together. They're ideal for serving your fresh cocktails on, or for snacks such as crisps and dips whilst awaiting the main event. Whatever it is that you're serving, even if it's just some pure happiness, then we're sure there might be a tray to suit the occasion.

Picnic upgraders

Have you heard of the Hinza bag? We could talk about them and their benefits all day long, picnics bags being just one of their many uses. They're super easy to wipe clean, can hold a decent amount of snacks, and even better, you can now buy cool bags to go inside of them so you can even keep everything fresh for the day. So handy! If you're a lover of cycling then there's also the new bags with bicycle hooks for popping your picnic on the back of your bike for easy transport.

For time in the garden

If all you've got for the bank holiday weekend is pottering around the garden and being able to sit in it and enjoy it for the first time this year, then we feel you. Sometimes it's just the best feeling to not really have any plans, isn't it? But you can still make it feel special, hang up a couple of solar lanterns or some bunting and get some candles going and it might just feel like you're in a warm paradise.
