Lunch totes so cool you'll keep them for your very own
There are all sorts of good reasons to pack a lunch instead of grabbing one on the go. The downside, of course, is the packaging; paper bags are wasteful but most reusable lunch bags are, well, ugly. Or designed for third graders. Or both.

Spring Los Angeles has the solution: their chic cotton canvas lunch totes are perfect for moms and kids. Each tote has inner pockets for organization, is fully insulated and the lining wipes clean easily. The wide, square bottom will accommodate a sturdy plastic container -- so you can have more than just a sandwich for lunch - and the whole thing zips closed. Spring for the larger size if you're packing picnics.

While these totes are really imagined for big girls, we think they would be perfect for you. Unless you prefer carrying a Barbie lunch box too. -Susan
