Let's do Lunch

Let's talk lunch shall we. Lunch has come a long way since I had my Jem and the Holograms lunch box back in the day. Granted, it was a truly outrageous lunch box but wasn't nearly as cool as the lunch options that are out there now for wee ones. Here are a few of our favourites...
Leah introduced me to these bad boys, the Munchlers lunch bags by Built. My daughter has the dog (aka: Lefty) bag and she crazy loves it. She gets super excited when I pull it out and even more excited if it contains cheese. The coolest thing about these well designed and cool looking bags is that they unzip to become place mats. Gotta love that in this germ infested world. Cost: (approx) $14.00 CDN
Another Built product, this the Gourmet Getaway Lunch Tote. We love it because it's made of light, durable neoprene, keeps your lovingly prepared lunch warm or cold up to four hours and because look how cute it is in action... Cost: (approx) $36 CDN
This is just one of the MANY colourful and cute lunch bags available by Crocodile Creek. They wash up easily with a little elbow grease and warm water and boast an extra insulated lining to keep your little ones food fresh. Cost: (approx) $18 CDN

What's this? Don't be alarmed by the numerous containers. I know what you're thinking...'do I have to wash all those boxes everyday?' Yes, yes you do BUT wait! There is so much to love about the Laptop Lunch Bento System 2.0 that you'll get over it quick. Firstly, there is virtually no waste with a lunch system like this plus, eating bento style is so much fun. If this alien theme isn't doing it for your little princess, there are a few other styles to choose from too. Cost: (approx) $50 CDN (comes with everything pictured)

Say hello to Kids Konserve waste free lunch kit. The lunch bag is made from recycled materials and all the stainless steel is food grade. Our favourite bit is the reusable sandwich cozy. Use that and you'll save enough on plastic baggies to treat yourself to couple pumpkin spice lattes a week! The design pictured is plain, if you want more pizazz they also do a butterfly version and a caterpillar print that are totally cute. Cost: (approx) $50 CDN (comes with everything pictured)

These little beauties are by Mimi The Sardine. First things first, you are going love that these are machine washable. They're also soil and water resistant. The only thing they don't do is make the lunch. That part is on you. There is no shortage of drool worthy prints to pick from either. The only minor knock is that they aren't insulated, but an icepack can fix that problem stat. Cost: (approx) $26 CDN.
