Why Yumbox Is the Lunchbox Every Parent Needs for Summer, Camp and Back-to-School

There are few things more humbling than packing snacks for kids: you think you packed enough. You did not. You think the strawberries will stay separate from the crackers. They will not. You think one snack cup is fine. Suddenly everyone is starving.

That is exactly why we love Yumbox.

Yumbox makes bento-style lunchboxes that are actually designed for real life: camp mornings, beach days, car rides, school lunches, after-school snacks and all the in-between moments when someone suddenly needs food immediately.

Their boxes are compact, lightweight, kid-friendly and made with divided trays that help keep everything organized and easy to serve.

They are also designed to be leakproof, which means fruit, dips, yogurt and little snacky things can stay in their own compartments instead of turning into one big lunchbox mystery.

And for us, this is not just a cute back-to-school find — it is a summer necessity. Our camp requires packing lunch every day, which means we need something that can handle actual meals, snacks, fruit, dips and the things kids suddenly decide they will or will not eat. It is also exactly the kind of thing we want packed for long travel days, from Miami-to-New York flights to international trips, when airport snacks are overpriced, unpredictable and somehow never what anyone wants.

We're so excited to be teaming-up with Yumbox for some of our events in the Hamptons this summer!
