The napkin has a top surface and a base or bottom surface, the base has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer along a lateral edge of the napkin such that the adhesive layer overlaps a portion of the base wherein the adhesive layer releasably sticks to the target surface when a light pressure is applied on the top surface positioned directly opposite the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer securely fixes the napkin in windy conditions until the adhesive layer is manually released or detached by a user.
