You will find a variety of lunchbox options plus other lunch gear such as bottles, lunch bags, flasks, food pouches and reusable bags. So have a look at our Lunchbox selection available on the Shop:

b.box

b.box, also known as the whole food’s lunchbox, is brand new to the bento box world and is taking the lunch boxing market by storm! It’s been designed in Australia with flexibility in mind, to offer your child different choices throughout the day. If you have a child who prefers whole foods – whole sandwiches, whole rolls, whole bananas, whole pieces of fruit (including apples) – this is a lunchbox you both will love. Whether its the regular size, mini size or snack box size, the b.box features a unique flexi whole fruit holder which lets you store a whole round fruit such as an apple, as the stretchy seal bends around the shape of your fruit – no need to cut fruit into smaller sizes! – no more fruit turning brown!

The lunchbox also has a large compartment that fits a whole sandwich. Plus, sitting underneath the tray is an included gel cooler pack to keep food fresher and cooler for longer. It also has 2 leak-proof sections for dips, yoghurts etc,  plus a large section that fits a whole banana. Easy to clean because the silicone seals are removable – no mould build up! Lightweight, easy carry handle and easy to open latch even for small hands, to encourage independence. Perfectly designed for kids 3 years +

Lekkabox

At vanillamummy.com we offer a stainless steel lunchbox for anyone who wants to avoid plastic. There are many reasons why many people are opting for stainless steel lunchboxes. It is durable and long lasting  – stainless steel lasts for years and years and helps you reach the goal of working toward a zero-waste lifestyle. It also turns out to be less expensive over time. Stainless steel is Non-toxic and non-leaching so there’s no fear about it reacting with the food. Unlike other materials, stainless steel does not degrade over time from use, hot water and cleaning products, the surfaces do not scratch and therefore remain easy to clean and its therefore more hygienic. It also means fewer opportunities for bacteria to accumulate and less risk of contamination.  Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and can be recycled endlessly without loss in quality or purity. Lekkabox comes in 2 designs which are all the same size and volume (1000ml) but with 1 or 3 compartments. They weigh about 300g
