Perfect day for a picnic: New blanket lets people enjoy the outdoors safely It was only a matter of time before COVID-19 started to change the way products are marketed. Designers and advertisers have been busy at work creating products that appeal to people’s basic needs while keeping social distancing and hygiene in mind. As a perfect example, take the “Here Comes the Sun Blanket” — a blanket for outdoor picnics that keeps everyone six feet apart! Featuring a unique spoked design, each attendee gets their own covered space where they can place food and objects without touching the ground. Each “spoke” is placed around a central circle, which itself can be looped around a tree or umbrella for shade. And unlike many other products in the COVID-19 economy, this one is free to use. The designer is hosting the pattern online for anyone to download and enjoy. Just in time for summer! If you venture outdoors for a picnic, just make sure you remembe r your masks!
