Why:

These colourful little boxes are certain to bring the fun to every lunch and snack time! Our panel loved the bold palette and the handy compartments inside (perfect for picky eaters). Drop-proof, easy to open and easy to keep clean – These boxes are made to withstand every adventure, plus they’re dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe, is there anything they can’t do?

Very cute and perfect for little lunches!

Really thoughtful design. Love the detail of the heart on the front, the size is perfect for slipping into a bag and great that it has a handle for a child to carry. designed not to leak with a knife and fork included!

This is my favourite - combining compact, compartmentalised design with built-in stainless-steel utensils - making balanced, mess-free meals easier for kids and parents.

Winner:SILVER - Best Children's Lunch/Snack Box Design

Who:MontiiCo

What:Feast Bento Lunch Box

Why:

These lunch boxes were an instant hit with our judges, who all agreed that the generous size of the compartments was great for bigger appetites, and super time saving for parents – much less chopping to squeeze snacks into small compartments. Kids will love the bold and fun colours that make these boxes as beautiful as they are practical. The panel also really liked that you could add to the collection with matching lunch box cups and trays, making for a real all-in-one solution to meals on the go.

Redefines on-the-go meals with a spacious, leakproof, modular design that grows with kids’ appetites and makes packing easier than ever. Also ensures that the kids get a mixture of nutrients!

Winner:BRONZE - Best Children's Lunch/Snack Box Design

Who:Pick Plates

What:Snackle Box

Why:

Our judges loved the neat and thoughtful design of these snack boxes and agreed that they would be great for so many reasons: picky eaters, organised snack prep, for mealtimes at home or taking out on picnics – the possibilities are endless! Judges felt that the BPA-free silicone felt super durable and wouldn’t break like plastic Tupperware. These snack boxes are dishwasher, microwave, oven and freezer safe, not to mention drop proof too – pretty much the total package!

Love how versatile this is!
