This is simultaneously the stupidest and best thing I've bought for myself, a fully-grown adult without children, in the last few months. You might be wondering: who needs lunch trays, really????
Well, my friend, YOU need lunch trays. Everyone needs lunch trays. Lunch trays are not just for lunch. Lunch trays are a way of life. If you do stuff with stuff, get lunch trays. I'll explain why later.
Later:
Okay, ready to hear what you do with lunch trays? Here it is: you put stuff on them. Allow me to offer some use cases for your lunch trays:
- Disorganized prepped smoothie bags, dump meals, or other frozen stuff? Put them on a tray. If your freezer is big enough, you can put TWO trays side-by-side, effectively color-coding different types of stuff in your freezer. It also makes freezer cleaning much easier.
- Disorganized fridge? Same deal. Put it on a tray. If you share a fridge with others, give them their own tray so they stop claiming ignorance and eating your stuff. Lemons and berries and stuff rolling all over the place? Keep those suckers contained on a tray.
- Simply cannot be bothered to make food? Make an emergency stash of grab-and-go snacks, and stick them on a tray. When you are hungry, the tray provides the sustenance that you insufficiently prepared for, perhaps sparing you from a Doordash bill and tiding you over until you have the time/energy/whatever to figure out this "Eating nutritious food" thing properly.
- Disorganized kitchen counter crap? Put it all on a tray. Now it looks intentional and organized! You can even do this with small appliances like one-person rice cookers, electric kettles, utensil holders, whatever. The bonus of being on a tray makes it easier to shove out of the way or stick into a cabinet.
- Weird kitchen project? PUT IT ON A TRAY ASAP. Your Lion's Mane log is going to get spores all over the counter, your microgreens jars are dripping all over the place, you overwatered your herb garden and it's a disaster--none of this would be a problem if you had simply used a tray.
What about non-kitchen uses? Buckle up, you aren't going to believe it but you can use trays in SO MANY PLACES. Here are some:
- The bathroom tray! Your mouthwash dispenser and cup are either dripping or leaking, who knows which, just put all this stuff on a tray, please.
- The gardening tray! I use trays for transporting seedlings, and generally keeping organized during gardening projects. As a bonus, they're sturdy enough to use as a quick knee pad while gardening outside--it won't provide cushion, but will keep you from getting covered in leaves, straw, or mulch. Just hose your gardening tray off after each use, and you're done.
- The catch-all tray! Have stuff you need to locate easily, keep together, and not get hidden away in a drawer, lest you forget it exists? (I'm looking at YOU, ADHDers with object permanence issues.) Yep, that's right, put it on a tray. You might not win points for style, but not forgetting your keys, wallet, sunglasses, homework, whatever it is--is infinitely better. Remembering to look at a tray is much easier than individually remembering each item you need to function.
- Feeding area for your pet. Look, if you have a messy-eating Tibetan mastiff or a herd of feral cats, your feeding station is going to look different. But if you have a small dog, cat, rabbit, whatever--you might be able to get away with sticking a tray under their food and water dishes.
- And the most unexpected one: actually using the lunch tray as a lunch tray. This is dumb, you might say. You are an adult, you do not need a lunch tray. Okay--but let me counter: what about all the trips it took you to get the food, drink, dipping sauces, utensils, napkins, etc. you want and transport them to your lunch location? Wouldn't it have been easier to, I don't know... put them on a TRAY? And what about when you want to eat on the patio, but change your mind because it would take, like, ten extra steps back and forth each trip? Or sit at the table with the nice tablecloth and not get your spaghetti sauce everywhere? Or just to have a really fun-colored backdrop to add novelty to your otherwise boring meal?
Thank you for coming to my TED talk about the bounty and magic of lunch trays. I know my tone is a bit sardonic, but I truly use one or several of these trays every day, and love the variety of colors. Giving up on having the "proper" set of "adult" things in my kitchen was really freeing for me; maybe it will be for you too. If not, I hope you find the solutions you need to thrive!

Size description not accurate. Really 10 1/2 inches wide and only 5/8 high.
Would have given them a five if the size description was accurate. I measured one as 14 7/8 X 10 1/2 by 5/8 inches. Not a big difference, but could be critical depending on how you use them. Is important when determining which ones to buy. Work for me as house plant trays at a better price than designed plant trays. Thought the various colors would be too much, but actually like them better plain beige.

These are fabulous.
I bought these months ago for my preschool. And they are fab. We use them for table top activities. Art. Science. Everything. The colours are beautiful. They are durable and so functional. I’m buying another set, so I can have one for art and one for non messy activities. But such a great buy and a great price! Just do it.AcThese are fabulous.
