Sleek Lunch Box
These adorable reusable containers are like lunch boxes for grown-ups. It features a main compartment to store your sandwich or salad, as well as a hidden spot in the cover for veggies or dry snacks. There's even a small container you can use for dressing that also fits in the lid. A handy strap keeps everything in place, and the whole piece is dishwasher safe.

Reusable Flatware
Ditch the disposable plasticware that somehow ends up snapping in half for this stylish, reusable flatware set. Made from sturdy polycarbonate, each four-piece place setting (four settings come in each set) has a fork, knife, spoon and teaspoon. The set is available in onyx, clear or white. We think it's a worthwhile investment for any alfresco entertainer.

Imagine toting fresh, frozen cocktails on your picnic. With the Rabbit Freezable Cocktail Maker, it's easy and possible. Simply fill the silicone carafe with your favorite ingredients, place the lid on top and pop the whole thing into the freezer overnight. The next day take it out, squish the sides of the carafe until the contents reach the ideal consistency, and voila — you've got yourself a primo batch of margaritas, frose or whatever other recipes you dream up.
