Here’s a silly yet practical employee gift idea that the right person will adore! If there is anyone in your workplace who love vintage looking things, they’ll be thrilled to receive a classic looking, metal lunch box like this!
Mickey and Minnie are pictured on the front of this 9 by 3.5 by 7.5 inch lunch box in a classic art style. It’s more of a neat art piece than a functional lunch box due to its smaller size, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be loaded with a sandwich and some snacks!

Using a lunch box rather than a disposable means of food transport (like a plastic bag) is furthermore an eco-friendly practice that you oughta encourage in your workplace!
