Back to School Extravaganza – Best Lunch Boxes

Some might say that a peanut butter sandwich, an apple and a box of raisins shoved into a brown paper bag is a pretty boring and dismal lunch. But throw that same nutty buddy sandwich into a cool lunch box and something magical happens. Yes my friends, peanut butter tastes way better when it’s stored in your kid’s favorite lunch box. This is a fact! It’s kinda like the same theory when a birthday present is wrapped in pretty paper with bows and ribbons; you automatically anticipate something great inside. While you might not have packed them the chicken nugget and french fry lunch of their dreams, hopefully your kiddo will be more tempted to eat some healthier options because of the great presentation. Unless of course you’ve packed them sardines. Then you’re on your own. – Jill Topol
