Perfect for your kids: The Top 5 autumn-winter must-haves from b.box
During the colder, darker months, keeping your kids properly hydrated and their energy levels high can be a real challenge.
There’s a tendency towards ‘hibernation mode’: the UK government reports that 57% of parents say their children’s physical activity levels take a seasonal dip during autumn and winter, while healthy eating is trickier for everyone once salad season is over.
At b.box, coming up with creative solutions to help parents feed their kids is our passion.
We find you can inspire little ones to eat well and drink plenty during the colder months by providing colourful, clever lunchboxes and drinking bottles for them to take with them to school and on the go.
Here are five b.box must-haves for kids, perfect for the long, cold months.
#1: Perfect for a balanced diet: the lunchbox (and mini lunchbox!)
Making sure your child gets a healthy balanced diet, with a ‘rainbow’ of vitamin-rich fresh fruit and vegetables to keep their energy levels up in winter, is easier with the right lunchbox.
b.box is home to the big bento lunchbox. No more cutting up food to fit little compartments: our lunchbox is designed to fit whole foods, making it a more practical and convenient choice for busy parents and hungry kids.
The lunchbox features leakproof silicone compartments, a large sandwich section, and our unique stretch-and-flex whole fruit section.
There’s a gel cooler under the sandwich tray to keep food cooler for longer, and a removable divider between compartments so you can fit a whole banana.
You can also customise it with our range of lunchbox additions and accessories, such as snack cups and tubs, our innovative silicone lunch pocket, or our smart insulated lunchbag.
Got smaller kids? Our mini lunchbox offers the same versatile design features, including the stretch-and-flex section for whole fruit and removable divider to give the space you need.

#2: Perfect for an energy boost: the snackbox
For kids on the go, our versatile, leakproof snackbox offers just the energy boost they need.
With two sealed compartments for securing wet foods (no liquids), and a stretch-and-flex section for whole fruits, it’s just the right size to carry snacks for school breaktimes, playdates, and extracurricular activities.
As with all b.box products, it’s designed to be used independently by children. It’s also easy to clean + dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
It comes in a number of attractive colourways, including our Warner Brother collab designs.
We love it for our kids who have school dinners rather than a packed lunch – it’s the perfect accessory for breaktime.
#3: Perfect for staying hydrated: the Tritan™ Bottle
In autumn and winter, it’s easier to forget to stay hydrated: cold weather can decrease thirst sensation by 40%, according to research. Ensuring your child always has a bottle of water is one of the best ways to protect them from winter dehydration.
With b.box’s stylish Tritan™ bottle, you can ensure that your kid’s water is always cool and refreshing, thanks to its large opening to make refilling and adding ice cubes easier. It’s a unique, ergonomic triangular shape, perfect for little hands, with a silicone straw top and angled straw allowing kids to drink every last drop.
Available in two sizes, 450ml and 600ml, the bottle has a robust handle that makes it easy to remove from school bags and carry around, and an easy push button to pop open the lid.
It’s leakproof, with a pressure release straw top to prevent spills when open.
Straw worn out? No need to buy another bottle – b.box sells replacement straw tops and straws, meaning the bottle lasts longer: a long-lasting, sustainable item that your child will love for years.
#4: Perfect for keeping warm (or keeping cool): the insulated bottle
Whether you want to give your kids a refreshing drink that stays cool all day, or a chill-busting drink that warms them up on the go, b.box’s free-flow insulated drink bottle has the triple-insulating superpowers you need.
It can keep liquids cold for up to eight hours, or warm for up to six hours, so it’s a versatile must-have for whatever kind of day you’ve got planned with the kids.
Available in two sizes, 350ml and 500ml, the bottle offers free-flow drinking with a soft, flexible silicone straw top, and a child-friendly push-button opening to encourage independence.
As with many of b.box’s other products, replacement straw tops and straws are available for the insulated drinks bottle, making it a planet-friendly choice.
#5: Perfect for baby's independence: The sippy cup
It’s the GOAT of sippy cups: b.box’s multi-award-winning sippy cup is an absolute must-have for babies and toddlers.
Designed for both cool and warm drinks, its many clever innovations include a weighted straw that allows kids to drink at any angle, so it’s perfect for babies and little ones on the move. Its soft silicone straw has a unique two-way valve for easy, leakproof drinking.
With two easy-grip handles, measurements on the base to track hydration goals, and a flexible silicone straw top designed for babies’ mouths, it’s a comfortable, happy solution to encourage independent drinking.
The cup’s base is also compatible with b.box’s training lid and spout lid, so you can use it for various functions and different stages of your little one’s growth.
