Insulated picnic basket

Keep food and drinks perfectly chilled for extended periods during any outdoor excursion or gathering.

An insulated picnic cooler basket combines the handles and shape of a basket with a lined interior that keeps drinks and snacks cool. It suits families, beachgoers and people who host backyard get-togethers, since it keeps summer outings simple without hauling a bulky hard cooler.
