The popularity of the stainless steel lunch box is growing enormously. They are sturdy, eco-friendly and can be recycled and made into something else at the end of their life. The one feature that is missing from most is a leakproof compartment for storing running snacks, dips and desserts. Integrating this into a lunch box made from stainless steel is a design nightmare. Many have tried.

This is easily fixed with the addition of a leakproof snack pot. Available in a variety of sizes, depending on your needs, some of these will even fit comfortably inside your lunch box. Others need to be carried in your insulated lunch bag along with your lunch box, food wrap, ice pack, fruit and anything else packed in there.

SMALLEST SNACK POTS - The Happy Sparrow Snack Pot is 60ml in capacity and have a stainless steel bottom with a silicone lid. They're leakproof and are fine to be placed snugly in your bag or inside a lunch box. If they get to roll around a loose bag, there is a chance the lid may pop off as it doesn't screw down, it just pushes into place. They are easily secured with a hair tie if you’re going to do this.
