Individuals who have a birthday for a loved one coming up may want to purchase a luxury gift hamper so the recipient can go on a picnic.

Sportswoman and television personality Sharron Davies suggested picnics are the perfect time to eat "good balanced food".

She noted all provisions can be eaten in moderation and getting worked up about victuals is not a good thing.

"If you've got an active lifestyle it is quite surprising what you can actually eat and [you can] enjoy yourself," Ms Davies added.

She explained Britons may want to consider including pork pies in their picnic hampers, as they are an ideal snack for such events and can be enjoyed at barbecues or tea time as well.

According to a survey conducted on behalf of Love Pork, 31 per cent of respondents stated a picnic is not complete without dips and crisps.

Great Taste Gold award-winning Tyrell's Hand Fried Vegetable Chips are often found in luxury hampers and the provisions could be accompanied by Mrs Bridge's Spicy Tomato Salsa.
