If there was one perk to the last year or so of working at home, it’s that our lunches became pretty awesome. When not relying on take-out from whatever place is closest to the office, we discovered the pleasures of a well-balanced homemade lunch, and we’re not ready to give that up, even if we are headed back to the office. Luckily, there are tons of items that make it easy to bring your favorite lunch from home to work, from a Thermos for a piping hot serving of your famous tomato soup to insulated bags that ensure you can eat ice cold, never-soggy salad. Take a look at the items below, and stock up before you head back to the office. Lunch time can still be your favorite meal of the day.
