If you're still on the hunt for new lunch boxes or needing to replace old ones, this is the one we loved!  Right now you can get a set of 4 of these EasyLunchboxes 3-compartment Bento Containers for just $13.95! 

These Bento containers are super high quality and will last you many years of packing lunches!  I especially liked these containers because they were easy for my kiddo to open on his own.  Some of the plastic containers require a ton of force to pry open and I could just imagine lunch foods being tossed across the room as the lid flew off!  

Although these containers are NOT leak-proof, they are great for a typical lunch.  If you wanted to send liquidy things like applesauce and yogurt and such, you could grab those pouches or pre-portioned cups or perhaps use another smaller container.

I also liked using these silicone baking cups for separating different foods.  Just added some extra room for variety and a fun pop of color!  There are tons of different colors and shapes and sizes of these Silicone Baking Cups to choose from.   I actually found a set of  little stars at a yard sale for a decent price!

There are even little cookie or shape cutters you can use to create some fun at lunch time!  This Mickey Mouse Cutter is just $0.99 shipped and you can use it to cut fun shapes with cheese, lunch meats, bread, cookies and things like that. 

This Set of 3 Sandwich Cutters is $11.50 right now.  We have the dinos and love them for cutting sandwiches and (already cooked) pancakes!

This Munchkin 3-Piece Silly Sandwich Cutter Set is just $7.49!  So cute!

Ooh, here's a spooky way to make lunches fun this fall!  Right now you can get a 2-pack of these cool Bat Bytes Sandwich and Cookie Cutters for ONLY $6.69!

Now, finding a lunch bag to fit the Bento containers was a whole different ball of wax.  I searched high and low for a bag that would not only fit the container but still had room for a drink container, napkin, utensils, and maybe an ice pack.   But the sad truth is these Bento style lunch boxes (no matter the brand!) are just not made to fit a standard lunch bag or box.

There is a custom-made EasyLunchboxes Insulated Lunch Box Cooler Bag that will hold this container, but reviews mention this bag not being insulated or very heavy-duty, more like a "bag" to carry the container.  These bags will hold up to 3 containers though so plenty of room.  Here are the dimensions of the bag: 9" x 6.5" x 6.5"

I found a reusable lunch bag that is shaped like a paper lunch bag with a flip-top Velcro opening.  The Bento container does fit at an angle in this style of lunch bag and there is still some room for utensils, napkin, and a small drink container. 

I was also able to find a few lunch bags at my local thrift store for super cheap!  I brought in the Bento container with me to be sure of fit, and some were a tight squeeze but they did fit!
