So lockdown life is slowly coming to an end and normal is making a massive comeback. Since the road map was announced time seems to have slowed to the point of going backwards. How has a month lasted a year?! Ok, so we aren’t quite at the day most Brits long for when their significant other, their great love, their soul mate the pub re-opens; but the sun has come out in time to welcome back the rule of 6!
Never will it feel better to meet up with friends and family in a socially distanced, well ventilated and slightly chilly outdoor space! But let’s face it, who actually has anything to say? “Been up to much? Going anywhere on holiday? Any goss?” The answer is no to all. So here at Caged Tiger we have put together a list of our top picks to enjoy as a group and fill that time before we actually become interesting people again with hobbies outside the home to talk about. May we present, our top picks for the rule of 6!!
The Perfect Picnic:
The first rule of a meet up, set up a base camp. Somewhere I like to park my bum and have people gravitate to me, without me having to move. Throw down our lovely Caged Tiger Picnic Blanket and set up camp. With its taffeta lined base, this blanket is ready to deal with the fact we have to sit outside in early spring, when the ground is still wet and anyone could end up with a soggy bottom if plonked down at random.
Or go that one step further and take our Caged Tiger Picnic Rucksack with you. This rucksack not only has a waterproof comfy blanket, but also provides the accoutrement for a perfect picnic. Plates, cups, cutlery, a bottle opener and even little salt and pepper shakers for the foodies amongst your 6. Good food and company other than your immediate family? What could be better?!
Group Games:
As you have to meet up outside, then it is necessary to bring the fun to the party. We have a great range of lightweight portable games to be enjoyed as a group. From Quoits to Boules, these games will provide great entertainment and are both suitable for adults and children. Let the kids be distracted so you can finally have that catch up with your friends uninterrupted (yeah right!), or get your game face on and give it a go yourself! Our great range of games are compact and easy to transport, making them the perfect addition to any gathering.
Get Grilling:
Ok, so this may be a little optimistic but it may be warm enough to light up the barbie! Nothing says freedom and the start of a British summer than the smell of a banger slowly turning to ash on a BBQ. Our portable suitcase BBQ by Gentlemen's Hardware was made for the rule of 6! It's so compact that it can fit into a normal rucksack and ready for you to get grilling wherever your adventure takes you. Unlike the usual disposable BBQs, this BBQ is not destined for landfill so you can get some eco points whilst enjoying a burger. Perfect!
The Bonus Guest:
So you have your 6 and are sticking to the law, but nothing was mentioned about counting our 4 legged friends! Outside meet ups in parks are perfect for pooches but they may get a little jealous of the grub on offer at a picnic. Here at Caged Tiger we like to make sure our own little fur ball is provided for on the move, which is why we always take our portable pet feeder and bowl set. With 2 separate containers for food and water, you can take your time chatting to friends not worrying that you need to get back to feed the dog, and on a warm day (it could happen!) your fur ball can play for hours with that bowl of water ready to keep them hydrated.
