BOX CLEVER
It's back to school time and for adults hoping to save a few quid by taking their lunch to work, here are three suggestions that will put you top of the office class. Littlewoods Ireland (LittlewoodsIreland.ie) has these fab Lego block designs that come in green, blue and yellow. They're also reduced slightly from €10 to €8.80. They measure 10cm wide by 20cm long by 7.5cm deep.
PRETTY PRINT
Dunnes Stores (DunnesStores.ie) has a host of cartoon character lunch boxes from the now ubiquitous Hello Kitty and Angry Birds to the edgier Phineas and Ferb. If you’d like something less commercial this heart print should win some fans. The lunch bag is €7. The matching drink bottle is €6. Both are available at stores nationwide.
MINIMALIST STYLE
This bento box from Stock Design (01-679 4317) is for the seriously grown-up only. It comes with its own set of cutlery as well as a receptacle for dressing to keep salads fresh till lunchtime. Buy it for €19.50 at 33-34 South King Street in Dublin 2.
