Do you brown-bag to work or school? What are your favorite bags to bring with you? We're looking to review a lunchbox/bag-type item in our Sept/Oct issue and we'd love to hear what you use and like!

Actually my brown bag is my breifcase. I have some food storage containers from Tupperware for meals and some for soup too. The soup and entree containers can be microwaved. We have refrigrators and microwares in each department. So it's usually leftovers and salad whether it's soup or an entree and vegies.
I have the coolest insulated bag. It's got a shoulder strap and a purse strap; it's got an outside pocket; and it has a side beverage holder. Since I'm a vegetarian, the outside has pictures of a cow, pig, chicken, and it says "No Animals In Here" People comment on how cute it is all the time.
I just bought a 'laptop' lunch / bento box from Obentec. Even though it was designed for kids, I'm loving the fun colors, the built-in portion control, and the lack of waste. My co-workers are now considering one and my 11 year old wants one of his own. Each lunchbox comes with a nifty guide to preparing healthy lunches and recipes, as well.
I love it! Its the best lunch "box" I've ever had. There are smaller and larger versions of Mr. Bento available also. I wish they came with kid's designs so I could get one for my 5-year-old.
I have a Laptop lunch too and I love it! So much so that since I'm not working right now, I still want to pack it. I love the fact that it helps me to control how much to pack, and I don't have a whole lot of trash to throw away either!
