The products you’ll need for Back to School
It’s time to start thinking about Back to School – specifically, which products you’ll need to invest in to make those hectic before school mornings a little less hectic. Since we’re somewhat experts in all things lunchtime, we thought we’d share our top recommendations for smooth sailing come Back to School time.
FOR LITTLE LUNCH…
Melii Snackle Box
Like a mini buffet on the go, the Melii Snackle Box is the ultimate snack container for kids who love variety. Inspired by the design of a fishing tackle box, it offers up to 24 individual compartments with removeable dividers – perfect for busy parents and adventurous kids. The divided sections are totally backpack-proof, making them great for not only school, but travel, family outings and road trips, too.
Precidio
Who says being sustainable can’t be stylish? Canadian company Precidio Designs has perfected snacking on-the-go with the Snack in the Box – the colourful, compartmentalised container perfect for little and big hands. Why not make it a matching set with a just as colourful Drink in the Box? They come in small and large sizes.
My Squeeze
Looking to move away from single-use squeezies? My Squeeze is a refillable squeeze pouch for healthy, waste-free lunches. Simply fill it with homemade food – from baby food to yoghurt to smoothies – and enjoy when you’re on the go. When you’re done, simply pop them in the dishwasher (top rack) and stand upside down to dry.
FOR BIG LUNCH…

Nothing has revolutionised lunchtime quite like the Yumbox. The internationally-renowned bento-style lunchbox comes in a range of sizes – from the Tapas for big appetites to the crunch’n’sip-friendly Snack, plus the stainless steel Presto and Pret options – and delicious colours. Our customers’ only complaint? They last too long, meaning they rarely have an excuse to pick up the latest releases!

With five delicious colours to choose from, Wrap’d is the ultimate stocking stuffer – it’s perfect for just about anyone! Made from easy-to-clean silicone, which acts as a hygienic barrier between your hands and your food, Wrap’d is fully-reusable, dishwasher safe and super fun to use.
Arctic Zone
Nothing keeps lunch cool like an insulated lunchbox (with three built in ice packs), and no insulated lunchbox is quite as cool as Arctic Zone. With two options to choose from – the Expandable Lunch Pack and the Dual Compartment Lunch Pack – you can easily pack a full lunchbox, fruit and even a small water bottle in one handy container, and trust that it will all be cold at the end of the school day.
