The £9 ‘must-have’ waterproof blanket that’s great for family days out
IF YOUR family likes an autumn picnic, or just a fun day out, then we’ve found the perfect waterproof blanket just for you.
The £9 picnic blanket is the ideal travel accessory for days out this autumn.
While traditional picnic blankets can be quite bulky, even when they’re folded, the Odoland Picnic Blanket compresses down into a tiny pouch.
This means the picnic blanket can be easily slotted into the pocket of a coat, or comfortably stored inside a small handbag.
The picnic blanket is exceptionally light too, weighing only 50g.
It’s also waterproof, heatproof, and sand-proof, which means everything on the blanket will be kept both clean and dry.
The travel blanket comes in three different colours, including blue, grey, and black, and can be purchased for as little as £9.99 on Amazon.
It has an overall rating of 4.3/5 on Amazon from more than 1,650 reviews on Amazon.
One happy customer wrote: “It’s a great product. I’ve used it a few times already because it just lives in the bottom of my backpack.”
A second person wrote: “It’s a must-have for any rambler.”
Someone else added: “I always have this in my bag when I’m out with the kids for the day.
“I love it. It’s so handy to throw down, and then I have my own spot to sit on when the kids are running around.”
And it’s not just Amazon customers who’ve been praising the travel picnic blanket, the Sun’s Travel editor Caroline McGuire is also a fan.
She told Sun Online Travel: “This blanket has come everywhere with me over the last few years – from the beach in the summertime to winter walks.
“It weighs almost nothing and can be stuffed into a tiny space in my bag.
“When the beach is damp, we’ve used it as a base for our beach towels, and in the damp autumn weather, we’ve had picnics on it.
“I even use it for laying out toys for my child to play with in airport boarding lounges.”
And this isn’t the only clever item holidaymakers need for the wet weather.
TikTok user Disneywithtlc recently revealed that she always takes a pair of waterproof shoe covers when visiting a theme park.
She said: “[These] reusable waterproof shoe covers, [keep my feet] 100 per cent dry, even in the puddles! I’ve used them for multiple days.”
The waterproof shoe covers can be purchased for as little as £9 on Amazon.
One holidaymaker has also revealed the “perfect” travel product for keeping items safe at the beach.
Meanwhile, this clever item will help make walking through the airport a breeze.
