Whichever box you end up with you will probably need some containers and pots to keep your lunch from turning into a glorious mess. Here are some of the things I use.
Sauce containers - Put in any sauce or salad dressing you wish. I also put jelly beans in mine. I bought these from E-bay for approx £5 for eight.
Mini Boxes - Ideal for putting fruit or Veg in. I bought the ones I use from Asda their "Garden gang" fruit snack boxes come in three yummy flavors and fit nicely in a lunch box, the boxes are sturdy enough to be washed and reused. Asda also do a range of baby accesories which include rainbow bowls for leftover food they also make great additions to your box. Woolworths often stock multipacks of tupperware like boxes which come in small sizes and "GU" brand desserts come in sturdy little lidded plastic "shot glasses" which can be reused for a long time.
Soy sauce bottles - If like me you go nuts for the sushi soy sauce bottles are a must. I got my first few by saving the ones which came in supermarket sushi packs, these are usually square and pretty easy to fill with sauce if you have a steady hand. My new bottles came from J-List and are very Kawaii! They are much harder to fill though I am going to try to get hold of a small syringe to help me fill them.
Picks - I bought a pack of these but to be honest with you I don't use them much. I throw some in with fruit instead of a fork of skewer omelet rolls with them to keep them rolled up. I wish I could find more uses for them they are so cute!
There are also other ways of keeping food separate such as grass shaped dividers, miniature cake cups and specially designed plastic ags and holders. I tend not to use these as my lunch gets a fair throwing around on the way to work.
