picnic hamper
Portable meal container
A picnic hamper is a large basket, typically with a hinged lid and handles, designed to carry food, drinks, and utensils for outdoor meals.
Traditional versions are woven from wicker and may include fitted compartments for plates, glasses, and cutlery.
The term is more common in British English; Americans often say picnic basket instead.
We packed the picnic hamper with sandwiches, fruit, and a bottle of wine.
