Speaking of LUNCH... my favorite lunch bag is Built!

I looked for months for a really great lunch box, and besides my old Tick lunch box with matching Thermos (which I cannot use because of collectable value), this is my favorite.

The Built Extra Relish tote is made out of a stretchy wetsuit material, so I can fit my leftovers from home in, along with a yogurt and a banana for breakfast. OR I can fit in a frozen lunch and a soda or juice bottle with a sack of baby carrots. It is seemingly bottomless at times, and the zipper on the top is very hardy, thankfully because of all I stuff in there some days.

This even carried three sandwiches and two sodas plus crunchy snacks when I went to the beach - an entire picnic! Love this bag.

A couple of extra bonuses on this model as compared to other Built bags: the Extra Relish pocket inside, which is perfect for a soy sauce or mustard packet, depending on what's in your lunch. AND there is a long, adjustable shoulder strap, great for subway commuters like me.

Something else I really appreciate about this over my old plastic lunchbox is that the Built bag folds flat when empty, and is feather-light. Easy to roll up and stuff in another bag for the ride back home. Priced at $19- $25, this is a fancy lunch bag, but I've found it worth its price.

I saw these in Singapore too. Thought it a great idea, but not for lunch. Looks great to me as a handbag :-) although I haven't bought one. I believe it comes in Lunch.com color too! May be Lunch should market this as a Lunch product!

Well, if I was working out of the home I would want one of those! It would work great for pic-nics :) It is super cute, not to mention a more Eco-friendly option than disposable bags. Have you noticed that your review was in the newsletter that @jrjohnson sent out yesterday? 

I am definitely sharing your review on Twitter! :)

This is great for picnics, too - I've gotten 3 sandwiches, a drink and a bag of chips in the bag for a quick beach snack. Very eco-friendly. Thanks for sharing my review!

Whoooa, since when did lunch bags get so fancy and stylish?  Looks kind of like a cool bowling bag! :P  I know it says that it keeps cold foods cold, but does it keep hot foods warm, too?

Yes, Miss D, it does - and you can order it in many fabulous colors and patterns to match your style. Mine is basic black for my goth look, but you can go floral or stripy or red or dotty! Very stylish for we women in the know. ;)

AWESOME. Thanks, lady! :)

I don't use these, but my son has the type with the drink in a separate zipper on the bottom. If I did take my lunch, a foldable version would be right up my alley.

Yes, I find this to be a great design for grown-ups. But not the only one, for sure. Built has a lot of nice stuff out there made for use by those from 9 days to 90 yrs old!

I recently bought one of the sleeves for my Galaxy Tab. It fits perfectly and is a lot cheaper than what the other makers offer for the Galaxy Tab. What I do like about Built is the colorful material as well as the fact that it's machine washable! It now offers bags for laptops, netbooks and the iPads too! Go get yours!!!
