Taking your own lunch to work has many benefits, but it's easier to get into the habit if you're excited about what you're packing . . . and how you're packing it. Even if you're stocking a simple sandwich on whole wheat, make your lunch stunning with a stylish container. We're not talking basic plastic vessels, here either — these contraptions are designed to properly hold your lunch, keep it fresh, and turn your midday meal into a fashion statement by showing off your personal style. Bonus — no one at the office will ever confuse your lunch for theirs. That's always awkward.

The real deal, circa 1960, this metal lunch box and thermos combo ($30), is such a fun way to carry your midday meal.
2 Green Goodness
Designed to hold your sandwich or salad, this recyclable container ($3, originally $7) is BPA-free and designed for versatility. It includes a leak-proof container to hold dressings or something yummy. And we love this lunch container so much, it was included in our August Must Have box!
