We can give you oodles of amazing lunch recipes — trust us, we really can. But they aren't going to mean anything if you don't have something to carry those delicious meals in. We're not talking about kid-style lunch boxes with Spider-Man on them, too. We found a really great modern lunch box!
Made from BPA-free and phthalate-free polypropylene and safety tested for lead, these upright lunch boxes are the perfect modern addition to a stuffy market. The top of the lid is shaped to hold a bottle of water safely on top so each element of your lunch can be kept together.
The boxes are dishwasher safe with smooth edges so you don't have to worry about food getting stuck in hard to clean areas. We love these lunch boxes because of the modern shape and easy to clean aspects. We're tired of carrying around embarrassing tupperware or hand-me-down lunch boxes to work.

I've always enjoyed these aesthetically, but they're awfully large; I could pack two lunches in them. They're also pretty heavy when empty, so I can only imagine what they weigh full.
Eh I'd rather carry Scooby-Do
Did you notice the part where they were $30????
I'll keep my cheapass tupperware, thanks.
What's it look like open? How about with food in it? What about the water bottle, when it's strapped on - how does that affect the carry handle? And just what does it weigh? I guess I could get that last answer from the Amazon link....
Wouldn't work for me, anyway. I bring two large steel water bottles to work everyday, in addition to lunch and a snack. Very pretty, just not for me.
