Few tips for packing picnic baskets:
Take what you need and no less. Take what you want and no more.
The Basket - don't use bags. They will be trampled on, fall over, be crushed, etc. Use any basket, strong tote, cooler or the like. Rectangular will always fit better. Consider a container that can also be used as a small table.
Cooler or ice chest - A must for all perishables. Try to match the cooler and contents. Don't lug around an enormous cooler for a couple of sandwiches and one 6-pack of drinks. Do leave room for ice. The day before, fill the cooler with ice and then drain and re-fill when you pack before leaving.
A valuable tip: Take notes on what to do next time - just tuck the note in your picnic basket. It will be a pleasant discovery when you start putting together your next picnic.
