BUY IT: Joseph Joseph GoEat Soup Pot, Macy's, $20

Ever wish bringing all your favorite toppings for creamy tomato soup or chili to work was simpler than a smushed plastic bag at the bottom of your lunchbox? This portable soup container from Joseph Joseph has a separate compartment for toppings that keeps everything fresh and whole while you microwave the liquid. Pro tip: The empty container stashes up even smaller for easy storage.
