Lunch Box A-Z – V For Variety

April 28, 2012 by Caroline Job 2 Comments

Today we are up to V in our lunch box A-Z – V is for variety. If you’ve just joined us, we have been running a lunch box A-Z series to help keep you inspired in your lunch packing, whether it is for you, your kids, or your partner.
With the kids back at school after the break, it’s important to establish that lunch box routine again. We’re up to the letter V in our Lunch Box A-Z – V is for Variety, which is key to any lunch box success.
Variety is everything, or we become bored. We need a varied diet, we need a varied and balanced life. We need variety in texture, colours and themes (and don’t always think that mentioning variety means huge amounts of effort, nor does it have to be something that is time consuming).
Variety is the spice of life.
I know myself, with my own lunches, it’s so easy to get stuck in a rut, to create the same lunch day in, day out, and well, frankly, get somewhat bored…
So check out our recipes section for lots of lunch box ideas.That’s where the 365 Lunch Box Challenge comes in … our new challenge with a new lunch box idea every post. Trouble is, life’s got in the way, and the updates have been less frequent…
On a brighter note, there’s lots of new variety in the lunch box gear this season : there are always new lunch box bags, boxes and ideas to help make packed lunches fun. So do have a good look online. Make sure to keep checking back as we will be doing regular round ups, spotting the latest lunch box kit available to help keep lunch boxes fun and varied!
If you’re wanting salad one day, sandwiches the next, we’ve even the salad lunch boxes to keep all your salad separate until you’re ready to dress, mix and eat!

If you like all things dotty, there is the candy dot design…

These cute picnic rugs in polka dot – available in blue or pink, that fold up flat – ready in your boot for that spot of sunshine in the park… I still have the pink ones available, so DM me if you are interested in a pink polka dot picnic rug.

Union Jack designs have been big in the past, what with the Jubilee, Olympics and Coronation celebrations – so for those still feeling patriotic you may still be able to get your hands on the lunch bag and matching drinks bottle. Think “Cool Britannia”…

And due to popular demand, the sandwich lunch box from Holland is back in stock – I still have the orange and pink ones available. So DM me if you are interested … Either comment below or message us and we can send you an invoice and dispatch to you… UK only I am afraid.

So that’s the Lunch box A-Z – V for Variety post. Now back to you. What’s your favourite lunch box idea?  How do you keep YOUR lunches varied?
