With the right lunch box accessories you make your child's lunch a little more fun and easier. Think of silicone cups to divide the compartments cleverly, sandwich cutters for bread in funny shapes, ice packs to keep everything fresh and separate replacement parts for your Yumbox. At Tiny Giggles you will find accessories and replacement parts by Yumbox, Lunch Punch, b.box and MontiiCo.
Why lunch box accessories?
A good lunch box lasts for years, but sometimes a part gets damaged or you want to adjust the layout to what your child likes to eat. With separate parts and handy extras you don't have to buy a new lunch box straight away. That saves money and is better for the environment. Cups and sandwich cutters also make putting together a varied lunch much more fun, for you and for your child. A child who thinks their lunch looks fun often eats it better too.
Combining lunch box accessories
Most lunch box accessories aren't tied to one brand. Silicone cups and snack cups fit in many lunch boxes with a roomy compartment, and you can use a sandwich cutter for any sandwich. If in doubt, measure the compartment of your lunch box and compare it with the size of the cup. That way, with a few clever extras, you put together a lunch box that suits your child perfectly.
Yumbox trays: replacement parts
With a Yumbox lunch box you can replace the inner tray separately. Handy if the tray is damaged, or if you want a second tray so you can fill one while the other is in the dishwasher. The trays are about 22 x 15 x 5 cm, made of food-safe materials, free of BPA, PVC and phthalates, and top-rack dishwasher safe. They are not suitable for the microwave. Choose from:
- Original Tray: with the prints Funny Monsters, Mermaid and Race Cars.
- Panino Tray: with a dinosaur or a shark.
Always check which Yumbox model you have, so the tray fits exactly. You will find more under Yumbox accessories for girls and Yumbox accessories for boys.
Lunch Punch sandwich cutters
With the Lunch Punch sandwich cutters you turn an ordinary sandwich into a fun surprise. The cutters are about 9 x 9.5 x 3 cm and come in a gift box of about 10.5 x 20.5 x 3.5 cm. They are made of food-safe materials and free of BPA, PVC and phthalates. Choose from themes such as Dino, Fairy, Shark, Mini Bites, Puzzle, Space, Transport and Mermaid, or a set of bread cutters. The Mini Bites is made of food-safe ABS plastic, dishwasher safe and 100% recyclable.
Silicone cups and snack cups
With silicone cups you can divide a bento lunch box neatly, so berries, crackers and vegetables stay separate:
- Lunch Punch silicone cups: a set of 3 round cups in different colours, in blue or yellow. Made of 100% food-grade platinum silicone, BPA-free and dishwasher safe. A cup has a 6 cm base, a height of 3.5 cm and a 9 cm opening.
- MontiiCo bento silicone cups: 2 square cups of about 4.8 x 4.8 x 3.6 cm and 1 rectangular cup of about 4.8 x 10 x 3.6 cm. Made of 100% food-grade platinum silicone, BPA-free and dishwasher safe up to 45°C. Choose from Calypso, Dusk, Pine and Reef.
- b.box silicone snack cups: collapsible pots with a lid, from 3 years. The base holds 150 ml and the lid 170 ml, about 8.5 x 4 x 6 cm. They are made of food-safe, BPA-free silicone and oven-safe up to 230°C. Choose from Berry in pink, Forest in green and Ocean in blue.
Keeping it cool
The b.box Gel Cooler Twin Pack consists of two ice packs that keep food fresh and cool for longer. Put them in the freezer overnight and add them to the lunch box or lunch bag when packing. Hand wash after use and refreeze overnight. They are made of non-toxic, food-safe materials.

Tips for a varied lunch
Fill the lunch box with different colours and flavours: a sandwich or wrap, a handful of vegetables, some fruit and perhaps a small snack. Use silicone cups to keep wet and dry foods separate, so crackers stay crunchy. Cut the sandwich into a fun shape and put the offcuts in a snack cup as an extra bite. Prepare lunch the evening before and keep it in the fridge; with an ice pack everything stays fresh until break time.
Cleaning
The Yumbox trays are top-rack dishwasher safe, and so are the silicone cups and sandwich cutters. Wash the MontiiCo cups at up to 45°C. Let everything dry well before putting it back in the lunch box. Check parts regularly for cracks or damage and replace them when needed.
A lovely little gift
A sandwich cutter in a gift box or a set of silicone cups makes a fun and affordable little gift, for example together with a new lunch box for the new school year. You will find more ideas under gifts. We are happy to gift-wrap your present.
