A one-person restaurant is opening in the middle of a field in Sweden, delivering food from a rope out of the kitchen window

A restaurant in Sweden is taking the concept of social distancing to a whole other level: It will only serve a single guest each day.While bars, restaurants, and cafés in Sweden continue to serve seated customers, most of them have roped off every other seat or table in order to enforce social distance.

Picnic Funwan Extra Large Picnic Blanket

The larger your picnic blanket, the easier it is to adhere to that tricky 6-feet-of-separation rule. Since this option measures 80 in. by 80 in., you can have up to three guests safely setting up camp at each corner.

And while this blanket is just about as spacious as it gets, it also folds down to the size of a purse making it easy to transport.
