AIBU in thinking that it should be easier to find a decent sized lunchbox and non-leaking waterbottle??

Ok, help required pleeeeeaaaaaaase from all you knowledgeable folk.

All I want is lunch boxes for DC large enough to contain average packed lunch contents e.g, round of sandwiches, two pieces of fruit, a flapjack or something similar plus a drinks bottle that sdoesn't leak after a week!

DD3 really needs one with a handle and I'm really not keen on lunch bags because I find them harder to keep clean.

Oh and I would really like one large enough to be able to use a reusable tub for sandwiches as I prefer not to use disposable sandwich wrapping, even though I know it saves space.

I'm not asking for that much am I?

Should I just send DC to school with one of these

Now that I think about it a bit more, you would have to be quite careful about needle size and stitch length otherwise the plastic might rip off at the seam like a perforated strip. So you would need to budget for a very small machine needle and extra materials for testing.

ds has a hard plastic lunchbox with a handle - cost £1 from a pound shop. He has an icecream tub, with his sandwiches and something else in, which goes in one side of the box and the rest fits in the other side.
drinks bottles - I use empty fruit shoot ones, never leaked yet.
