The day I found out I could have packed lunches in Primary School instead of school meals, I was so excited. The news meant yummy meals that I could have a say in (or at least try to convince my Mum to buy more Fruit Winders which, btw taste awful now!) but most importantly, it meant a new lunch box! From Disney Princesses to The Rugrats I was spoilt for choice. I still love lunch boxes to this day but instead I opt for more grown up, stylish lunch boxes for adults.
As I work full time, a lunch box is essential for me to be able to eat healthily. Buying a lunch everyday is expensive and I don’t always know the ingredients used, or something may be too high in salt or sugar. Cooking my own meals keep my costs down and means I am in control of what goes into my food. Having a lunch box means that I can prepare food ahead and take my lunch to work.
Not only does a lunch box need to look good so that I am not embarrassed to have it on my desk at work, but it needs to be practical too. I can’t be having spillages whilst it is in my bag on my way to work. It needs to be tight, secure and well sealed.
Here is my selection of 10 stylish lunch boxes just for us grown ups!
1. Black + Blum Aluminium Lunch Box Bamboo/Silver (Similar) | 2. Frozzypack Lunch Box with intergrated cooling lid | 3. Black + Blum Box Appetit, Lime | 4. Rosti Mepal Take A Break Lunchbox | 5. Monbento Original Bento Box | 6. ‘YAY Lunch’ Happy Jackson Lunch Box | 7. Joseph Joseph Nest of Four Containers | 8. Lock n Lock Square Container (similar) | 9. Aladdin Bento Lunchbox | 10. LunchBots Trio Stainless Steel Lunchbox
I love lunchboxes too. I have like 10! I keep buying ones that have loads of different compartments for my snacks, and then getting other ones in different sizes. You can just never have enough!

It’s just lovely isn’t it? I might have to treat myself to some new lunch boxes! :)
Am soooo loving the. Momento one, I too am going to have to buy a new lunch box

The Monbento one is lovely! It comes in different colours but I love the purple one :)
I love the ‘yay lunch!’ one, I keep meaning to purchase it.

I can’t help but feel happy when I see it! :)
Haha, I love the YAY LUNCH one! I’m all about lunch boxes. I should look into a new one though…because…welll they are cute haha. I need one that can be taken apart to be able to heat some foods, and one that is dishwasher safe. All about functionality, but oh gosh, these are sooo cute.

Functionality is definitely important! I think the Monbento or Aladdin bento lunch boxes would be good for you as they have multiple sections, so you can heat up some of your food whilst keeping the rest cold :)
I have the Black & Blum Box Appetit on my Xmas list!!

Great choices!! :)
Great post. I have a cupboard dedicated to lunch boxes. I love them.
Maybe an idea for a future post- what do you put in yours? It’s so easy to get stuck in a rut.
