Cool and Reusable Lunch Bags
Instead of buying pack after pack of brown paper lunch bags, consider a reusable lunch bag for back to school.
Reusable lunch bags, like Cool Tote Lunch Sacks ($17), are better than brown bagging it. Food stays fresher, lunch doesn’t leak through, and they are good for the environment and your budget.
My daughter’s tot-chic kitty lunch sack makes it easy for her to pack and carry lunch along. The sack has both a strap and handle, an inside net pocket, and an included 8 oz. Freezer Pack. There’s plenty of room for her cup, food, and utensils.
I also appreciate that Cool Tote reusable lunch bags are lead-free and made in the USA. Cool Tote offers a variety of sizes and fabric choices for pre-schoolers through adults. Personally, I’d like the Lunch Sack Grande for myself (in Black Dragonfly).
These lunch bags are perfect for a picnic or for the first day of school.

I like any of the CAT ones, but it would be for my daughter and she would choose the HORSE!
This is difficult! My kids picked about five different ones as their faves, but the dolphins came out on top.
i love the the Bright Zoo pattern
Cool, I love the Black Kitty ones. Thanks!
My 3-year-old would love the happy frog bag. It’s much cuter than the old breast milk cooler he is using now.
There are a few cute patterns (love the penguins!). If I won I’d go with a unisex color that way my son, daughter, myself or my husband could use it. So I would choose the Hunter Green since green is my favorite color.
Thank you for the giveaway.
I would choose bright zoo, happy frog or penguin for my kids. They love animals.
my favorite design is Lunch Sack – Black Kitty .
My 22-month-old daughter loves frogs, so I know she’d be really excited to use the Happy Frog pattern, it’s so cute! Thanks for the giveaway!
As soon as I saw it, i knew it. The Lunch Sack Grande- Scarlet Dragonfly.
When my cousin died of leukemia we all got something dragonfly related (her fave.) and funny thing is we get visited by dragonflies in the wierdest places and say “Hi Christine.” I mean, i know it is her because who sees dragonflies in the grocery store parkinglot!
:)
Difficult choice, but if I could only have one it would be Happy Frog.
I like the lunchbag that is shown- Bright Zoo.
Love the bold,bright colors!
I like the Black Kitty Pattern!
My daughter would love the “Flutter” pattern because she is wild about butterflies. Thank you for the great eco-friendly giveaway!
The cats are my favorite.
The Nylon black is cute and versatile.
My favorite for myself was the lunch sack flutter and my son would love the Happy frogs for sure!
I like Bright Zoo, but Hula Girls is a close second. Bright Zoo would be most practical so that my two boys and my husband could all use it without feeling like it was “too girly”!
This is a fabulous store; thanks so much for introducing it to me!

Those are beautiful patterns!
Talk about a fashionable lunchtime.

I think the “Tahiti” pattern is great – we have one plain black lunch bag we use when we take lunch to the park, but now that DS is 3 (and eating a full-on lunch in his own right) it’s really not big enough for both of us. I’d love to win one of these!
The frog design is delightful!
