Best lunchboxes and travel mugs for your busy, on-the-go days
A ‘tiffin’ is basically a little bit of homely reassurance packed into tiny containers. At work, lunch hour is everyone’s favourite pause, and it is such a perfect punctuation to the day if the food is a well-curated selection from home. But woe is the office-worker who opens that tiffin carrier and finds a soggy coagulated mess. Having said that, what’s worse is a leaky mess. Your appetite is disappointed, your stomach is obviously annoyed, and your sensibilities are probably horrified. As you swallow food that was delicious a few hours ago, you wish there was a way to rewind time just for a bit. Help is at hand. Tiffin carriers have become a specialised product category filled with innovative options. And at beautifulhomes.com we’re such proponents of homecooked food, that we’ve put together a masterful list of options, not just for food carriage but also for transporting beverages around (by now, plastic cups ought to be jettisoned from your life). Here goes…
