At The Lunchbox Queen, we believe that happy, healthy kids start with a lunch they’re excited to eat. Founded in 2014, we proudly introduced New Zealand to the magic of bento-style lunchboxes, becoming the first (and now largest) in the country. Our idea of a perfect day is one where packing nutritious, delicious meals brings a sense of delight and ease to your routine. We’ve taken the stress out of lunch-making and added a whole lot more joy with our bento-style products that make lunches a little more special.

...the heart and soul behind The Lunchbox Queen. A die-hard foodie with a passion for all things delicious, Mel is always on the lookout for ways to make life easier with clever lifehacks. Her knack for finding top-notch products that truly last—through both time and toddler tantrums—really took off when she became a mum herself.

Seeing the crazy amount of cheap (and nasty) kids’ products flooding the market, Mel was determined to cut through the clutter when it comes to lunchtime. She makes it her mission to bring only the best quality items to families who value nourishing their kids with nutritious meals. For Mel, it’s all about turning every lunchtime into a delightful experience for both parents and kids.
