Our Guide To Brisbane’s Best Picnic Spots

Here at Pretty Green, we reckon Brisbane is a city with so much diversity with heaps of different places to enjoy a picnic. Whether it be with your mates, your family or your partner, we’ve got a list of some of our favourite spots in and around Brisbane where you can hold your next picnic. Plus, we’ve got an unreal range of luxury gift baskets that will elevate any picnic in Brisbane!

Orleigh Park 

A peaceful and green area that is located alongside the Brisbane River, the best spot in town if you ask us. If you’re looking for somewhere that is family friendly with lots of room to enjoy yourselves, then Orleigh Park is the place for you. There’s some amazing facilities and picnic pavilions where you and your family can have a chilled Sunday afternoon. 

Pretty Green’s ‘Picnic Daze’ is the perfect hamper for any family, and would definitely suit this stunning location. It’s got something for everyone! We’ve added two of Ashbolt’s ‘Tasmanian Sparkling Elderflower’ drinks - so refreshing on a stinking hot Brisbane afternoon. Pour it in a glass and enjoy it in the Winestains ‘Travel Picnic Stake For Two’. Not only is it so handy but it’s made entirely out of recycled wine barrels! We also know that no picnic is complete without some tasty bites to eat, so we’ve chucked in some of our favs. Wondaree’s ‘Roasted Macadamias’ are so good to snack on and Port Willunga Fine Foods’ ‘Fleurieu Kalamata Olives’ are the ideal salty snack. 

Streets Beach

You don’t have to travel too far in Brisbane to experience the famous salt water and sand that Queensland has to offer. Streets Beach is a definite must visit! It’s a sparkling, bright blue watered lagoon that is the ideal spot for a hot summer’s day - a gem in the heart of the CBD. 

Now, who doesn’t love a cheeky sweet treat on a summer’s afternoon? You and your mates can enjoy Pretty Green’s ‘Sweet Escape’ gift baskets in one of Brisbane’s prettiest locations. Kookas Natural ‘Orange and Hazelnut Cookies’ are the perfect combination of zesty and sweet and Poetry Fine Food’s ‘Salted Caramel Popcorn’ are to die for. We’ve also chucked in Hey Tiger’s 'Best Mates' Coconut and Caramelised Popcorn Chocolate. This choccie is specifically designed for best mates and is so delicious that you’ll be sad when it’s all gone. 

StayCation 

Who says you’re only allowed to enjoy a luxurious gift basket in Brisbane outdoors. Nah! We reckon enjoying one of Pretty Green’s luxury gift baskets in one of the city’s fancy hotels would be the ultimate date night. There’s so many hotels to choose from in the CBD, some of our top choices are the Westin Brisbane, Hyatt Regency, Pullman, Stamford Plaza and The W. Spoil your significant other with a night or two stay at one of these luxurious hotels. 

What goes perfectly with a luxurious hotel room? Obviously a luxurious gift basket! Our ‘The Wet Weekend’ hamper would 100% suit this date night. We’ve included all the necessities; Dity Candy’s ‘The Wet Weekend’ Shiraz - the wild fermented Shiraz that will start off your evening on the right foot. Hey Tiger’s ‘The Weekend’ Caramel and Cracker Crumb Chocolate is a lovely sweet treat, oh and we’ve chucked in some of our vegan condoms by Jonny - the rest up to you! 

Roma Street Parkland

One of Brisbane’s most beautiful parkland areas that is only a 10 minute walk from the CBD! It’s surrounded by impressive gardens and plants, it makes for an amazing location to enjoy one of our gift baskets in Brisbane. Why don’t you and a bunch of mates meet up at Roma Street Parkland on a Saturday afternoon and enjoy what the park has to offer. 

Our ‘Picture Perfect Picnic’ would match this ideal afternoon perfectly- it’s packed with some serious goodies. Dirty Candy’s ‘The Pink Panther’ Pet Nat is a spritzy, fruity wine that will go down a treat. Pair that with some yummy treats, Hey Tiger’s famous ‘Best Mates’ choccie and Wondaree’s ‘Smoked Macadamias’ - the ultimate snacks. Also, don’t worry, Roma Street Parkland is licensed so you can enjoy your glasses of wine without any hassle! 

So get yourselves to one of these idyllic locations in Brisbane and grab one of Pretty Green’s luxury gift baskets to complement the occasion! You won’t regret it! What are you waiting for?!
