  • Lunchbox tips

    More than 13 pages of the Gather.Ed Lunchbox eBook have been dedicated to ‘Lunchbox Tips’; ideas and suggestions for you and your family to approach packing - and eating! - a lunchbox with ease and excitement. For individuals with sensory sensitivities, we’ve shaped some suggestions just for you!

  • Our lunches

    Gather.Ed Lunchbox shares with you years of our lunches across all of its pages and offers an insight into the way our families - including our kids themselves - shape lunches they can’t wait to get stuck into. Aside from a Valentine’s Day love-heart cupcake & a few crinkle-cut dipping sticks, this is overarchingly a fuss-free zone.

"Just wanting to thank you as today I'm looking at my [Gather.Ed Lunchbox] eBook yet again as I prep for back-to-school lunches & I'm reminded of so many bloody winners. This book has continued to give me inspo over & over again. Thank you." Emma

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU again for the lunchbox eBook. I know I said it already, but I’ve actually just read it all (well, close to, there’s a lot there!) Hands down the best there is. I’ve recommended it to every mum I know, so expect an influx [of orders]. It’s actually rounded, helpful. Love your work." Belinda

"Making healthy food choices can feel overwhelming and BIG! Alice & Hayley make it so simple. You don’t need to hunt out complicated ingredients. We live off so many of these recipes. I hate cooking! Also, kid approved. Progress… not perfection." Simone

"…just wanted to let you know that your Sunny Choc Cookies [gf, nf, ef, df] are a complete hit in our house. My oldest screwed up her face at the thought of the sunflower seeds as the base, but they have completely converted her & I literally had to stop her from eating the entire batch after school… All the information in the [Gather.Ed Lunchbox] is so helpful, reassuring & empowering to make better choices for the whole family. Just love it.” Erin

"It’s literally the best $30 I ever spent! I go back at the start of every school year & reread the whole thing to get my head back in the game. My girls get excited to read it too! They’re 11, 8 & 4 & it really helps get them excited for nutrient-dense lunchboxes... It empowers them to make great decisions about how they want to nourish their bodies at school." Tasha

"I want to say THANK YOU for your lunchbox book. It’s literally like three books in one. I cannot get over the depth of content. Honestly, if I was a publisher I’d be climbing all over this! So, for what you help us with and this book… a MASSIVE THANK YOU!" Nicole

"Hi Alice, I just bought the lunchbox book when you shared it recently. I had no idea it existed (fairly new here). Anyway, it’s amazing. I bought [a] hardcopy book of the Aussie guy lunchbox book & it’s basic & simple & kinda boring. I had NO idea you shared so much info in there. Anyway, thank you for all the milllllllllion pages in there.” Sarah B
