Hi all, hoping you can help me with a personal mission I’ve been on about a lunchbox available in the UK in the early 2000s.

My partner told me a few weeks ago about a Christmas day as a child where she got this lunch box. Her family weren’t very well off, so when someone accidentally broke it the same day she didn’t get a replacement. It’s something she still feels quite sad about and she said she’d love to just have it again now.

We found this image on Google and I’ve been searching unsuccessfully for one since.

As far as she remembers, it was from Woolworths sometime in the early 2000s. Does anyone still have one that I could buy? If not, does anyone have any idea how I could make one thats the same elsewhere?

Thanks in advance Casual UK.

  1. Hmm not sure she wants it again just because she shared a fond memory about it. . Been in this situation before was quite awkward

  2. Maybe try google lens to see if there are any being sold online?

  4. i’m sorry i don’t know where to get it but omg…i had this too!! you unlocked a memory for me 🙂 i loved it

  5. Different, but same era and could be a homage to the original https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175951929505?hash=item28f78d60a1:g:7X8AAOSweiZlJDTq&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA8LbW%2BZNfQu6A%2FlsVUWLTXrWro8kdDcAIn1DyzchJxOunj0aapEUY9nqJ6lNIMNPIgkGSLYI4LgLjbKLCNCEQZ4eTDewe0FXgPNrqIc0jAtfaa%2BXtVAlHaRsSVQql%2B%2FXbZVZaLz2ooVNLd4PF1VWsDdCfZ5%2F9ZTV0rNVZ8VPK0IqPYMtoCX96zPW%2BJIJMNhcYgoL2QEr1rkIXLcTRYjsAFlw7YY%2BC8FR3Qeb2M6exbUjdAhqTL4n77%2FoEcHVwePm1lRymuDYe5mv%2FN900WV39BpXZWhFfd%2Bd6Mq6Hx7e4GyqIVZHoQMnzoEnfZhhWV4I8Zw%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5KKz4LmYg

  7. Does it have to be an exact match? Unfortunately I couldn’t find an exact one, but keeping checking places like eBay and Etsy.

    An Etsy UK slightly different style one: more purple colour, different pic, pink handles;

    These below are expensive though as imported from US, maybe the pink one someone posted in this post is cheaper as based in UK.

    There’s one with a pink handle, maybe slightly more purple looking, and a different pic:

    Or there’s a blue one but a bit more see through, green handle, and still a different pic:

  8. Couldn’t you just find a similar box and then get the image made up online
