Description
This lunch box with tray carries a vintage poster print of the 1923 Boat Race. A rowing eight glides across deep blue water under soft purple beams of light, with a second boat trailing behind, and bold lettering reads Boat Race 1923. A band along the lower edge lists the nearest stations, Putney Bridge, Hammersmith and Chiswick Park, a lovely period detail. The print sits on a cream lid above a rich blue base, a smart pairing that keeps the artwork centre stage. It measures 17cm long, 13cm wide and 7.5cm tall, and weighs only 0.19KG.
We like it for the everyday packed lunch. Inside, a removable tray is divided into two sections, handy for keeping a couple of snacks apart, and lifting it out leaves the main compartment clear for a sandwich or a wrap. Being so light, it adds next to nothing to a work bag, a rucksack or a picnic basket, and its compact size sits neatly on a desk or in an office fridge. The artwork turns an ordinary lunch break into a small pleasure, and it makes a welcome change from plain plastic boxes. It is just as handy for taking a few treats out on a day by the river.
The base, lid and tray are all made from polypropylene plastic, light enough to carry every day. The hinged lid closes with an easy clip at the front to keep the contents secure. The main compartment is about 3cm deep, including the tray, which is about 1cm deep. It is dishwasher safe, so washing up after work is simple, but it is not suitable for the microwave, so tip anything you want warmed onto a plate first. For a cheerful present, fill it with a few favourite treats before you wrap it.
