Looking for a lunchbox with a little life in it? We’ve got you covered with some of the coolest, most colorful, and fashion-forward lunch boxes you can buy.

You don’t have to be Billy Madison (or a child to enjoy) a cool new lunch box, but the prospect of heading back to school for a brand new year of learning and crustless PB&Js surely makes the purchase all the more exciting. In honor of back-to-school (sorry, kids!) we’ve rounded up some of our favorite lunch boxes, all of which have gotten quite the upgrade from the ol’ wrinkled paper bag or thin plastic Ninja Turtles/My Little Pony number we were accustomed to as kids.
