Hibernate in Style
Indoor picnics are a cozy way to relax or celebrate a special day regardless of weather
When you think of winter in New Hampshire, you may think of cruising the slopes of Bretton Woods, snowshoeing through Franconia Notch State Park (or your own backyard) and ice skating at Strawbery Banke, but it’s also the time of year when snow and chilly temperatures keep you inside by the fire with a good book and project or two. This season, you can practice the Danish art of hygge (hoo-ga), defined as creating a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being, by setting up a Pinterest-worthy indoor picnic. Do it yourself or you can hire Emily Huxtable of Seacoast Picnic Co. in Portsmouth or Tanya Tobin of Boho Pop-Up Picnic in Bedford to do it for you. (Hint: Think a movie night in your home or a private studio complete with twinkly lights, popcorn and other savory treats.) Dream up your own perfect picnic experience with personal details like handwritten notes, flowers, a charcuterie board or boho tent, and let Emily or Tanya do the rest. The best part? They will put it together and take it down for you too.

The Port package includes all of the beautiful elements of Seacoast Picnic Co.’s Starboard Package, but you bring your own food and enjoy the ambiance. Would you like to add a balloon arch? Birthday cake? Flower crowns? Unique color theme? Emily Huxtable can help you add custom elements.
Grab your friends and host a relaxing evening by the fire. While you need to provide the food, Boho Pop-Up Picnic will provide everything you need, like espresso martini candy boxes, winter table décor, pillows and blankets, candles and seltzer. Photo Courtesy Boho Pop-Up Picnic
