It's been a while since the phrase "lunch box" inspired excitement, but the new M&S Lunchbox and Food Storage collection has turned this basic into boast-worthy. Their food storage containers and travel mugs have sparked a lot of buzz online. These beautifully tonal, thoughtfully designed pieces have quickly become the lunch upgrade no one knew they needed, but that everyone wants for their picnics and office lunches this summer.
If you’ve already fallen for the wider M&S Spring home collection, this moment will feel like a natural next step. From warm acacia wood to softly ribbed glass and calming, earthy palettes, M&S has been steadily turning everyday items into affordable luxuries. These new lunch box and travel mug designs follow suit, bringing that same considered aesthetic into your weekday routine, proving that even the most functional pieces can feel special without pushing the price point.
It’s this balance of style and substance that makes them stand out among everyday kitchen essentials. Think soft curves, muted hues, and clever details that elevate your favourite food storage containers into something far more covetable. Whether you’re packing up leftovers, planning a picnic, or simply want your lunch to feel a little more put-together, these are the pieces you’ll reach for and almost definitely the ones you’ll be complimented on too.
