I know school is yet to break up for the summer holidays, but I’m already putting together a list of everything we will need for the new school year. One of the things he will need is a decent lunchbox, not least because he needs to take a packed lunch when he’s in the holiday club at school over the summer. He needs something which will stand out from the other lunch boxes, something practical and something cool. Step forward this Smiggle Lunchbox.

The Smiggle Says Hardtop Lunchbox includes two functional compartments with double zips, a name label, carry handle, an adjustable shoulder strap and a drinks bottle holder.

The larger of the two compartments is insulated, so you can keep your lunch cool. The smaller compartment is ideal for putting other things in, like a notebook and colouring pencils, so you can use this as a day bag, which makes it perfect for kids club over the summer.

There’s plenty of room in the lunchbox for what he needs. I like that there’s a large side net to keep a water bottle. In the smaller compartment there’s a place for your to write your name and contact details. The front compartment also has a hard casing. It’s decorated with a cool 3D cartoon character and the styling certainly sets it apart from other lunch boxes.

The cool zombie style prints on the back of the bag provide lots of interest and a welcome splash of colour. The small boy said it looked really cool and he was excited to have a stylish lunchbox of his own. If you like the styling of the Smiggle Says lunchbox, they also have a selection of stationery in that range including spikey pens and scented pencils.

The Smiggle Says Hardtop Lunchbox costs £19 and is available from Smiggle stores and online too.
