Leave it to a mom to come up with a better way to “do lunch.” The Goodbyn lunchbox does away with wasteful plastic bags and drink boxes for good. The five individual compartments — with just one lid to keep track of — eliminate the need for extraneous packaging and ensure that your sandwich won’t taste like your banana and your chips won’t co-mingle with your cookies! And it even comes with its very own reusable eight-ounce drink bottle — when filled with a drink and ice cubes doubles nicely as an ice pack. The lunchbox is easy for kids to carry, and is simple to open and close thanks to a finger-friendly pair of “ears.”
