All Blogs Friends Don't Let Friends Carry Ugly Lunchboxes Gift giving can be hard (trust me, I know)... Lucky for you, we created the ultimate gift guide to make your holiday shopping as easy as possible. After all, friends don’t let friends carry ugly lunchboxes. For the Co-Worker This one is for your work-wife, the one who knows more about you than anyone else. What better way to make sure your co-worker doesn’t tell everyone your deepest secrets than giving them the ultimate present? The Snacker is under $60, and not only will she keep all the snacks for your gossip sessions safe + secured, but it’s perfect for packing makeup, or as a clutch for post-work drinks. Sorry if I just convinced you to get one for yourself, but don’t worry, it comes in 10 colors, and you can customize it with your initials so you wont get it mixed up. SHOP THE SNACKER For the Commuter Whether they’re a corporate girl, doctor, or teacher, the days are long, and a chic + functional work bag is not something you see every day. We all know that you’re either a backpack or tote girl (or if you’re anything like me, both), so we obviously have an option for either. The MP Backpack has an insulated interior, vegan leather exterior + a padded laptop sleeve - so the girl on the go can have both hands free. The Tote has a vegan leather exterior + a removable insulated pouch that can fit all work essentials, gym clothes, meals + more. Both of these products are guaranteed to make any commute chicer, easier, and hands-free. SHOP THE TOTE SHOP THE BACKPACK For the Meal Prepper In case you’re new, we’re avid meal preppers here at Modern Picnic… because why would you spend $20 on a salad you could make at home?! If you’re shopping for the girl who loves to meal prep, your search ends here. The Large Luncher can fit 2+ meals, utensils, drinks, and your daily essentials. It is the perfect size for bringing all your food, while still keeping your outfit chic. I mean, PopSugar did say we were the most brilliantly designed bag on the market… SHOP THE LARGE LUNCHER For the Happy Hour Enthusiast We all have that friend who always wants to get drinks after work (I may be guilty here). As a proud happy hour enthusiast, I know exactly what you should be getting them. All of our products will keep your post-work happy hour outfit in check, but the Mini Luncher is small, chic, under $130, and in my opinion, perfect. SHOP THE MINI LUNCHER For the Family Member Nothing like gifting your family members a Modern Picnic…. PSA: they might not know it’s lunchbox. I know I may be a little biased, so thought I’d let you in on some expert advice: “If mom is in need of a do-it-all backpack, this is it. The Modern Picnic Backpack features a laptop sleeve, an insulated interior for taking lunch on the go and enough space to carry all of her necessities and more.” -NY Post “An insulated lunch box that could pass as a classic handbag is the best gift for the commuter who takes a lunch to work each day. It's also a good option for your aunt who's always prepared with snacks.” -Cosmopolitan SHOP THE LUNCHER For the Pet Lover We all have that friend or family member who literally won’t stop talking about their pet (yes, I’m guilty). If you’re over seeing 20 pictures a day of their pet, why not get them a lunchbox with their pet painted on it? Get their furry friend hand-painted on a variety of our products. All you have to do is send in a picture of their pet, and we’ll take care of the rest. Yes, it’s that easy, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds. SHOP THE PET COLLECTION PUT THEIR NAME ON IT If you’re looking to make that gift extra special… put their name on it. We offer custom, gold foil monogramming, so you can show them you really care. NY Post says it best - “This trendy bag doubles as a lunchbox, perfect for the modern woman on the go. Plus, never have your food stolen when you add a monogram to your bag” THE MONOGRAM SHOP Need help deciding? Take our gifting quiz here
