The Honest Truth About How We Keep the Lights On
We believe in transparency as much as we believe in the perfect picnic spot. So here’s the deal, told in the same friendly way we’d explain it over champagne and cheese.
What This Page Is About
Picknickity participates in affiliate marketing programs. In plain English? Sometimes when you click on a link in our blog posts or recommendations and make a purchase, we might earn a small commission. This doesn’t cost you anything extra—the price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.
Think of it like this: if you were going to buy that vintage picnic basket anyway, and our link helps you find it, the retailer says “thanks for the referral” and gives us a few dollars. You get the basket, the retailer gets a sale, and we get to keep sharing picnic magic with you.
Where You’ll Find Affiliate Links
We might include affiliate links in:
- Blog posts (especially gear reviews and product recommendations)
- Resource pages and buying guides
- Pinterest pins that link to products
- Email newsletters
- Social media posts
We’ll do our best to clearly mark affiliate links, but sometimes we get so excited about recommending something beautiful or useful that we forget to add a disclaimer to every single mention. This page covers all of those.
Our Promise to You
We only recommend things we genuinely love. Seriously. Life’s too short for mediocre picnic gear or disappointing charcuterie. If we link to a product, it’s because:
- We’ve personally used it and loved it, OR
- We’ve thoroughly researched it and believe it aligns with our values and standards, OR
- It fits the aesthetic and philosophy of “Golden Hour Reverie” and we think you’ll love it too
We’ll never recommend something just because the commission is higher. Our reputation and your trust matter more than a few extra dollars. If we think Product A is better than Product B, we’ll recommend Product A—even if Product B pays us more.
We’re honest about what we haven’t tried. If we’re recommending something based on research rather than personal experience, we’ll tell you. We respect your intelligence enough to let you decide for yourself.
The Specific Programs We Work With
We’re currently partners with (or may become partners with) affiliate programs including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates – For picnic gear, books, kitchen essentials, and outdoor equipment
- ShareASale – Various merchants in the food, lifestyle, and outdoor categories
- Impact Radius – Select lifestyle and outdoor brands
- Awin – International merchants and specialty retailers
- Individual brand partnerships – Occasionally we partner directly with brands we love
This list may grow as we discover more companies that align with our values and aesthetic.
What About Sponsored Content?
Sometimes brands pay us to create content featuring their products. When this happens, we clearly label it as “Sponsored,” “Partnered,” or “In collaboration with [Brand Name].” These partnerships are always with brands we genuinely admire and products we’d actually use on our own picnics.
Sponsored content is different from affiliate links:
- Affiliate links: We choose to recommend something and might earn a commission
- Sponsored content: A brand pays us to create content, which we clearly disclose
We maintain the same standards for both: we only work with brands and products that align with our values and that we’d honestly recommend to a friend.
Your Privacy Matters
When you click an affiliate link, cookies may be placed on your device to track the purchase and ensure we get credit for the referral. These cookies are managed by the affiliate programs, not by us. For more information about how we handle data, please see our [Privacy Policy].
Questions? We’re Here.
If you ever have questions about whether something is an affiliate link, why we recommended a particular product, or anything else about how we do business, just ask. Reach us at picknickity@mail.com.
We built Picknickity on the belief that the world needs more golden hour moments, more impromptu gatherings, and more champagne in meadows. Affiliate partnerships help us keep creating content, discovering hidden picnic spots, and sharing what we love—while keeping our site free for you to enjoy.
The Required Legal Bit
Picknickity is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated international sites.
We are also participants in various other affiliate programs and may earn commissions on purchases made through links on this website.
In Summary
We make money when you buy things through our links. We only recommend things we genuinely love. You’re not paying extra for using our links. And we’re always honest with you because that’s how friendships work—even internet friendships over picnic blankets.
Thank you for supporting Picknickity. Now let’s get back to the important stuff—like whether sandwiches taste better in meadows or on beaches (spoiler: they’re both perfect).
This disclosure applies to all content across Picknickity, including our blog, Pinterest, Instagram, email newsletters, and any other platforms where we share picnic inspiration.
